It's been a long day at work and nothing has gone your way. You log into your social media at lunch, for a much needed break and a memory pops up of family photos you took with me last spring...it gives you an instant mood boost and reminds you what is really important. You're thankful for the investment you made taking professional photos of your family because in the blink of an eye your "little family" is not so little anymore! I want to give you that mood boosting, ear to ear grin every time you look at the beautiful memories I captured of the most important people in your life. Don't let another milestone slip away....It starts with filling out an inquiry. Let me help tell your story!
Hi there! I'm Christina, a lifestyle and portrait photographer in the Metro Detroit area and beyond. As a former public school teacher, I love meeting new families and working with children of all ages. I specialize in capturing all the big and little moments—newborns, milestones, family, maternity, and senior portraits. I also offer headshots and branding for small business owners as well as small event photography (showers, birthday parties, etc). I would describe my style as timeless, radiant and true to life color. My lifestyle sessions are easygoing. I give natural posing prompts to get you comfortable and moving in front of the camera and embrace all the candid moments of love and laughter that unfold. If you have your own ideas, please share them with me so I can incorporate them into your session! Let's create something special together! If this sounds like your vibe, I’d love to hear from you...please fill out an inquiry form on my website and I'll get back to you soon about pricing and availability.
All the best,
Christina Welling

Christina captured family photos for our son’s second birthday and made him feel comfortable in front of the camera. The session was fun and felt like we were just hanging out at the park as a family. She captured candid moments that show our family’s love and son’s personality perfectly. Can’t wait to have her capture more of our family milestones in the future!

"Christina did a session with my son and I for a mom and me photoshoot and the pictures came out beautifully! She was quick to respond to inquiries and her turnaround time on photos was great. We got them back in less than a week. She made both myself and my toddler feel very comfortable and even gave outfit recommendations so our pictures looked cohesive and put together. I can't wait to hire Christina again for my next family shoot."

Christina did a beautiful job with our family photos. She made us all feel very comfortable and had my 3 year old daughter constantly laughing or smiling. It’s not easy capturing a rambunctious toddler, and she made it so easy. We are so happy with how our photos turned out!

Great Senior Photo Shoot! Christina put our son at ease and the pictures turned out beautifully! We would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a photographer.
-Jennifer M.
It was very comfortable and easy taking pictures with Christina. She gave directions to set up the concept of the shot but was focused on capturing natural, candid moments. I absolutely love the pictures she took of my son and I! My son is 7 months old and she was able to work with us around one of his awake windows and adapt poses to his preferences too. The results were beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever - she did a great job capturing our interactions and natural expressions!
-Shanna D.
"Christina is wonderful and we love our photos! We did a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot with her, and the photos she took were gorgeous, well focused and high quality, with a magical glow that manages to capture the love of our family in a frame. She worked within tricky lighting situations both indoors and outdoors with skill and ease.
Throughout both shoots she was creative, kind, and absolutely lovely to work with. Not only was she prompt the day of each shoot, after taking hundreds of photos each time she was able to get our pictures back to us in less than a week (which was very helpful as we were planning our birth announcement especially!).
She was proactive and thoughtful in arranging all the tiny details with us, and we love that she came to us to photograph in our favorite spaces."
