Bio:

Hi I'm Cristina! Newborn artist and mom of two not-so-little ones myself residing in Chicagoland area. As someone who lost all my son's photos and videos from his entire first 2 years of life, because they were stored on my laptop, I am passionate about getting tangible products into my clients hands so that they have memories on more than just a screen. I was a first time mom and never got around to printing any of those images. My life's goal is to show moms exactly how beautiful motherhood looks on them - all while guiding them through a simple, easy and show-stopping way to display their portraits to be loved forever. 

Session Details:

Mom became a doula for teen moms early on and when they decided to have a family of their own, it didn't com easy. Through IVF they were blessed with their twins, but knew their family wasn't complete. Mom wanted to have professional portraits done with baby number 3 arriving, as this may be their last. She really wanted to capture the emotions her family feels bringing home baby brother. The pureness of everyone's personalities together, as they are now, especially during a time of uncertainty. With everything that was going on int he world, she wanted to take time to celebrate her family. Through her struggles of being scared and worried with another rough pregnancy, she knew these photos would tell the history of their family and how they are in this moment.
