For Eau Claire, Wisconsin and surrounding areas.
Branding, senior & family photography rooted
in storytelling.
Capturing Your Legacy And Your Latest Chapter.
How about a stress-free session designed around YOU, not trends and expectations?
Whether I’m working with seniors stepping into their next chapter, or small business owners looking to connect with their client,
my work isn’t just about capturing a beautiful photo…
It's about changing the perspective.
Helping others see what true beauty is. We compare ourselves to the Instagram Influencers that flood our feeds. Feel pressure to look “perfect” in every way and keep up with the latest trends.
THERE’S SO MUCH PRESSURE THESE DAYS
15 years since I hit the brakes on my career path into marketing and retail. 15 years since I packed up my car with a film camera, a dream, and headed West to pursue photography school, (the path I was always meant to take)!
15 years I’ve spent documenting the moments that mean the most!
With my clients, with my friends, and with my family.
My grandfather, who always had a camera in hand, sparked a passion in me that would become a lifelong journey. At 3 years old I was snapping photos of well… everything.
Even back then a piece of me knew that moments are fleeting and the most precious sentiments of life should not go uncaptured.
After years of capturing love stories, my path began to shift.

Mother,
Hi, I’m Christy!
To say I’m passionate about telling stories and inspired by self-starters would be an understatement.
It is empowering to see other women following their own path, be that in business and entrepreneurship or as a senior in high school getting ready to tackle their career.
When I share a session with the world I hope it inspires others to follow their own path!
WHY DO I WORK WITH BRANDS, SENIORS and families?
A session that goes beyond headshots and perfectly posed angles. We’re telling a story. And YOUR story is unlike any others. Why should your photos be any different?? We’ll tie in all the elements that make your senior year or your business unique!
creative
Easy-going atmosphere mixed with exciting energy that will help you feel confident and relaxed during your session. It can all be a little overwhelming, but with simple steps from start to finish, I can promise you’ll enjoy your experience just as much as the final images!
Relaxed
Not only will I be your guide through choosing the best locations and styling yourself with outfits and props, we’ll also have the chance to sit down and get acquainted. I want to know YOU. We’ll plan a session fully tailored to your schedule, your needs, and your vision.

Wow!!!
Lauren’s pictures are just stunning! This mom… is in tears! You captured her!
Kind words
When it comes to the location of your session, the possibilities are endless. Looking to adventure outdoors? I’ve got a list of options a mile long (and then some)!
Looking for an indoor experience, but aren’t feeling the public coffee shop kind of session? The CJP studio space is the perfect private location for us to spread out and make some magic happen. Lots of clean bright light and props we can get creative with!
Available to for any type of session.
The studio
There are so many beautiful things in this world.
Not Just sweeping landscapes, breathtaking skylines, and gorgeous glaciers (a personal favorite).
Beautiful things like when a new memory is made, when my daughter’s eyes fill with the wonder of a new experience, when laughter erupts and echoes in the valley below.
The most beautiful things in life are moments.
And no moment, in business or in life, should go undocumented!
