Who am I? Why choose Chris?

I’m Chris and welcome to my world! I’m a photographer and storyteller with over a decade of experience behind the camera, and more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children as a professional nanny. Photography isn’t just what I do; it’s an extension of how I see and connect with the world.

My time as a nanny shaped the way I work today. It gave me a deep understanding of children’s unique personalities, rhythms, and needs. I know how to create a calm, welcoming environment where even the tiniest feel at ease. That experience makes all the difference when capturing newborns, babies, and young children.

Because those moments are fleeting, I’m here to help you hold onto them.

I have a particular passion for working with children. Their honesty, joy, and wonder inspire me every time I pick up my camera. My sessions are patient and thoughtful, always guided by the comfort of the child and the natural connection within each family.

I’m married, grounded in faith, and incredibly grateful for the relationships this journey brings. I value kindness, connection and creating something meaningful for every family I work with.

From first giggles to quiet snuggles and everything in between, let’s turn your family moments into lasting memories!

Preserving the Magic of New Beginnings

There is no moment more special than the very first days of your baby’s life. As a photographer and a storyteller, I gently capture every tiny yawn, every soft touch, and every curious glance — because I know how fast this season passes.

Each session is guided with love, patience, and care, turning your baby’s earliest memories into timeless keepsakes. From the warmth of your newborn’s first embrace to the peacefulness of their dreams, I’m here to freeze these tender moments — so you can cherish them forever.

Let’s celebrate this new chapter together. Book your newborn session today.

Our Clients Love Us!

Hi Chris I was sharing these pics with my family and I couldn’t help but stop by and say THANK YOU! My family and my time with them are so precious to me and I am so glad you were able to capture all these great moments - which is harder when you have two little boys😅! Wish they were little longer… but having those pics can make those moments eternal! Can’t wait to have our next photoshoot soon ❤️

I had the pleasure of working the talented Chris Gardner for a recent photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Chris has an incredible eye for detail and composition, capturing moments in a way that truly brings them to life. Her passion for photography is evident in every shot, and her creativity knows no bounds. Not only did she make the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, specially for my daughter with autism, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and confident throughout the shoot. I highly recommend Chris to anyone in need of professional photography services. With her expertise and dedication, you're guaranteed to receive stunning photos that you'll cherish for years to come.
