• Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Christina... a wife, a mommy of two gorgeous little ones, a dedicated (addicted) shopper and a baby & child portrait photographer located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    I specialize in newborn, baby & children's contemporary photography & I love what I do! My style as been described as part contemporary, part classic and part lifestyle. What could be better than capturing a moment and creating art that will be cherished for years to come?

    We were honored to be nominated in Nickelodeon's Parents Pick 2010 for Best Family Photographer in Minneapolis & St. Paul. We made the cut from 35 amazing local photographers to the top 5!

    chrissie marie photography is a member of the National Association of Professional Child Photographers & United Professional Portrait Association.

    Every year I promise to be better about "blogging" and well...I am still not very good. I have good intentions about posting more sessions, sharing my shopping finds, doing "what to wear" features but honestly balance is huge to me & rather than blogging I enjoy spending time with my family, enjoying life or being behind the camera! Maybe next year "blogging" will be a focus...maybe!

    Take a peak...leave some love & I can't wait to meet you & capture your life! xo

a sneak peak into my closet | minneapolis children’s photographer

A lot of my clients ask, “what should my children wear for our photo session”? or “I saw an adorable dress or hat on one of your clients, could we use that in our session?”

For those that know me, know that I LOVE clothes, I love shopping, I love finding the perfect outfit, hat, boots etc. I love mixing & matching and layering outfits. I love both trendy things & classic looks. I think in my previous life I was a personal shopper!!

When you book a session I will work with you to design & style your session. Just off the top of my head here are some outfits & accessories you are welcome to use. When we design your session if you want to know specifically what Matilda Jane outfit etc just let me know. (if you already have your session/outfits all planned out, I love that too.)

newborns | tons of knit hats (all different colors for boys and/or girls) cocoons, even one for twins, fun blankets, baskets, chests, antique baby bed (lots of other options, this is just a quick list).

girls | oopsie daisy baby pettiskirts in light pink, fuschia & pink & brown. several other tutus in other colors (yellow, blue, purple, pink), outfits & hats from Matilda Jane (sizes 2T-4T), adorable pillowcase dresses (5-6 different patterns), rain boots & jacket.

boys | ties, vests, sports coats, rain coat, boots & umbrella, fun trendy boy hats.

other accessories | TONS of BabyLegs (probably 20 different pairs of leg warmers in both colors/styles for girls and boys) rufflebutts for little ones & toddlers, an assortment of Pork Chop long socks and tons of knit hats, flowers, headbands, clips.

This is not a complete list, but just a sneak peak!

Also, just a few of the places I love to shop | Lil Tulips, OhBaby, Tadpoles, Mini Boden, Hanna Andersson, Target, Gap, Gymboree, JCrew Kids, custom tie t-shirts from SewTamzEtsy

Happy Spring & I look forward to capturing your life in 2010!

Best,

Christina

Shelly Bellrichard - I love this blog. Thank you for giving those of us who are “fashion challenged” some ideas! :) I had to laugh, though, because I’m already trying to plan outfits for our family pictures in July based solely on the adorable pink & green ruffle shorts I bought Ruthie at your Matilda Jane party!! Good luck to me. :)

christina - I love those ruffle shorts you got!! Adorable. When I pick clothes for pictures I usually start w/one item (fun accessory, color, print) then build everything off of that. Can’t wait for our session!
