Meet Dani and her daughter. As a mom myself, I understand the exceptional bond shared between mother and child, and Dani is no different. Seeking to capture the unique phase of life they're in, Dani envisioned portraits that would reflect their PNW western vibe. To achieve this, we opted for a combination of studio and outdoor settings, perfectly encapsulating their desired aesthetic. Working with this dynamic duo was an absolute blast, and to add an extra touch of magic, V even brought along her beloved horse friend to join in their portraits. Together, we created memories that will last a lifetime.

Basking in the warmth of the first day of spring, this family session captured a momentous occasion: their son's upcoming leap into kindergarten! The relaxed atmosphere perfectly mirrored their family's easygoing spirit. Scenic backdrops provided a natural canvas for genuine smiles and candid moments, forever etching this milestone in their family story.
Welcoming Spring by the river

This expecting mama was yearning to freeze the fleeting moments of her growing family before the new addition arrives. With a desire for candid portraits that showcase both the essence of their family dynamic and the beauty of her blossoming baby bump, we got to planning. Opting for the versatile backdrop of the riverside in Fall City, Washington, proved to be a perfect choice. Amongst the serene surroundings, we captured unforgettable moments in the field, by the old barn, and along the tranquil riverbank. Each shot reflects the genuine love, excitement, and anticipation shared by this beautiful family as they eagerly await the arrival of their newest member.

"I recently had an equine photo session with Beyond the Stables Photography and it was such a wonderful experience. Christina was not only skilled in capturing the beauty and personality of my horse, but also had a great eye for unique angles and lighting. The final photos turned out stunning and truly captured the essence of the bond between me and my horse. I couldn't be happier with the results and I highly recommend Christina to any horse lover looking to capture the special moments with their equine companion."

Christina is so much fun to work with! She has so many great and creative ideas and poses to help create a really wonderful collection of photos. Not to mention she is one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet! Patient with those hard to wrangle kiddos and still comes out with great photos to keep for a lifetime ❤️

Beyond the Stables photography is a wonderful business run by an even more wonderful woman! Christina is talented in many ways but especially knowing how to best capture animals in all their beauty. She’s taken beautiful photos at our rescue farm and also supported our cause with her business in more ways than one. Highly recommended for a great positive experience!

We loved working with Christina and our photos turned out amazing! She also said it would take 2 weeks to get photos back, but it only took 1.

I had such a great experience with my photo shoot with my mustang. It was calm, relaxing with great guidance in finding the poses that worked best with the scenery and lighting. I loved that her energy was fun, upbeat, and just right to keep Miss Nova focussed and up for the shoot. I definitely recommend her. Now to pick out my favorite photos, that’s the hardest part for me, so many to choose from!
