In your gallery, you will have many ways to turn your beautiful images into keepsakes. The gallery is set up to make ordering professional lab prints, canvases, and other keepsakes very easy. In addition, I can create a gorgeous heirloom photo book or a customized engraved wooden keepsake box for you.
Within two to three weeks of your session, you'll receive an email with a link to an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to download your images in high resolution.
Make sure you are following me on Instagram and Facebook! Within 48 hours of your session, I will post a sneak peek of your session to my stories. I will also create a post with some of my favorites from our session. You can view sneak peeks from my past newborn sessions by heading to my Instagram profile. Click on my "maternity" highlight near the top of my profile.
The big day has arrived! We will meet at our scheduled time at our chosen location. Typically, most sessions begin about 1.5 hours before sunset on weekdays. I will direct your session flow, guiding you into natural and seamless poses. Typically it's a lot of fun and my clients laugh a lot throughout their shoot!
In additional to the questionnaire, you will receive my detailed Session Guide. What you wear for your photos is extremely important to achieve my signature light and natural look. You will need to wear primarily light colored clothing if this is the look you desire. Off whites, creams, light muted aquas, and light gray-blues are all sophisticated colors that photograph beautifully. Your session guide will also include tips on how to have a smooth session, how to prepare your other children if you have any, etc. Aside from wardrobe, we will also choose your session location.
After you book, you will receive a confirmation email and questionnaire to fill out. I love getting to know my clients ahead of time, so that we can connect on a personal level! This questionnaire is how I will find out about the rest of your family. It will help me to know what kind of pictures you are looking for.
I recommend booking as early as possible, particularly if you'll need your session to be in the summer or fall. To book your session, simply head to my booking page.
You will receive an email from me to choose a date for your session. Then, you will get an email with a link to an invoice, contract, and a guide to choosing outfits and preparing your family. You will need to pay a 50% deposit on your invoice to secure your session. Once your contract is signed and deposit is paid, you are officially booked!
The first step is to choose which of my maternity packages best suits you. They are all wonderful choices, you really can't go wrong!
I would love to share with you my entire maternity session process from start to finish!

I couldn't recommend Christina Runnals more - we recently had a maternity shoot with her on the beach, she made us feel SO comfortable, was so easy to talk to, warm, friendly, and most of all insanely talented! When we received our gallery back I was literally speechless. Her style is so light, bright, natural and gorgeous. She captures so much authenticity and real emotions. Not only this but she's so professional, responsive and just overall fantastic to work with! You won't be disappointed! Can't wait to use Christina as our family photographer for many years to come. -Frieda C.
We met Christina through a random act of kindness on her part and we couldn’t be happier to have met her. She has photographed our maternity and newborn sessions and we look forward to many more family sessions in the future. Christina is a pro at engaging fussy children, and I love how she was able to direct us into very natural poses throughout the session. I am absolutely obsessed with every photo she delivered! -Alyson F.
Wow. WOW. These are PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you so much for these, you did unbelievable work. -Greg D.
We worked with Christina for both maternity and newborn photos and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made! Christina’s photography style is light and airy, making each photo look flawless. She was quick to respond to our initial outreach and all follow up emails and texts, which was so appreciated. Christina also provides helpful tips and guides to prep for your photos and is overall just super easy to work with! She made us feel comfortable and at ease for both sessions and we can’t wait to work with her again in the future! -Felicia G.
Christina is so sweet and personable, that taking photos with her seems so natural. She captures the pictures we want plus so much more. We cant wait for her to continue taking pictures of our family for years to come! -Katie L.
