Ah, I’m SO excited to finally share Lainey’s newborn photos with all of you!! Cristina from Cristina Hope Photography captured these beautiful family moments and I will certainly treasure them forever. Her photos are classic and timeless and I can’t wait to hang some of these around our home!! Some of you may remember Cristina because she also shot mine and Laura’s fall family photos at Jonamac Orchard last year (we just love her style so much)!
A Different Type of Experience
Cristina is a professional maternity, newborn and family photographer in the Chicagoland area and she offers a really unique experience that I am super impressed by time and time again. Not only does she take your portraits, but she will help you style your outfits for the session (if you’d like)! I totally took advantage of the styling aspect of her services because I didn’t have time to look for outfits before Lainey arrived. I fully trusted Cristina to pick clothing that would look great on the entire family, plus she has superb taste.
Once your photos are ready for review, she will physically sit with you to choose the best ones to print and hang in your space. She focuses mainly on prints rather than digital photos because she lost all of her son’s baby photos after only storing them on her computer and doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else! Crazy, right!? You can see more investment details here. She was absolutely wonderful to work with.
Gallery Wall Options
In order to give ya’ll a little sneak peek into her process, she mocked up what a gallery wall would look like for me (she does this for all her clients)! This really helps me envision the layout, so I know I’m investing into something that makes sense for my space. I’m loving the second option with the photos hung between the two windows. Such a statement!
