YOur story, beautifully told
Meet Your Wake Forest Newborn Photographer
Hi! I’m Christy, often called the baby whisperer by my clients. As a former preschool teacher and a mom myself, I know how it feels to watch every little detail slip by too quickly.
I create calm, unhurried sessions where every soft yawn, tiny curl of a hand, and sleepy stretch is noticed and lovingly preserved.
I’ll guide you and your baby with gentle care and experience, so you feel seen, supported, and free to simply enjoy this moment.
about the artist
In a world where most of our photos live on our phones, it’s easy to forget how meaningful it is to hold them in our hands. We all love digital images, but they often get lost in the cloud or forgotten on our phones.
Our most important photographs are meant to be seen, shared, and cherished, especially by our children as they grow.
My clients enjoy beautiful, handcrafted artwork, from fine art prints and handcrafted albums to framed wall portraits that turn your favorite images into heirlooms. These are the pieces your family will live with, love, and pass down.
Artwork and image collections begin at $950.
A $250 creative fee reserves your session.

If I could give Christy a hundred stars, I would! As soon as we walked into her studio, we automatically felt at home and comfortable. Christy’s warm and calming personality made it easy for us to relax and take one-of-a-kind photos. We cannot wait to hang up our frames in our home to enjoy for years and years to come. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone interested in professional photos to have Christy be your photographer!!
Amanda R.
“We loved working with Christy! She did an amazing job photographing our newborn son and our little family. We so appreciated her artistic eye, friendly approach, and warm, welcoming studio. It meant so much that she prioritizes the health and safety of her clients — especially important to us as first-time parents. If you’re looking for beautiful photos and an excellent experience, look no further!”
Tammi T.
We had a wonderful experience with Christy. From the very first contact to picking up my beautiful framed wall art of my newborn & every step in between. Christy was just AMAZING with my little girl and we have a bunch of beautiful pictures to show for it. Christy is the only option if you want beautiful, classic and natural baby photographs!
Tiffany D.
We had the most incredible experience with Christy - the entire process was incredibly seamless. I would highly recommend her - she's incredibly professional, flexible and has an amazing eye. We have gotten SO many compliments on our photos and the frames we ordered from her. She even offers a wardrobe (and swaddles and headbands for the baby sessions!) which is so wonderful. It was such a relief not having to spend money on clothes I wouldn't wear again...and the selection is curated and lovely.
Leigh Anne B.
I highly recommend Christy! We've had maternity, newborn, and baby milestone sessions. Christy was able to capture exactly the images that we wanted for our family and help with picking out specific pictures for frames as well as complete an album of all the sessions. She is truly a baby whisperer.
