You Deserve to Be Seen, Remembered & Celebrated
You know that feeling—the one that creeps in late at night, whispering "What if I don’t have these moments forever?" Maybe it’s the quiet worry that one day, your beloved pet won’t be by your side. Or the realization that your child’s senior year is flying by, and soon, they’ll be stepping into the next chapter of their life.
I see you. I understand the deep love, the fleeting moments, and the unspoken fears. That’s why I do what I do.
I’m Christina Lathrop, the heart behind Beyond The Stables Photography, and I’m here to capture what matters most—the bonds, the joy, the irreplaceable connections you never want to forget.
With nearly a decade as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, I have an intuitive understanding of animals and their emotions, allowing me to create stress-free, authentic portraits of your pets—from their playful energy to the quiet wisdom in their eyes. And when it’s time for those heartbreaking end-of-life moments, I offer gentle, compassionate Legacy Sessions so you can hold onto their love forever.
For my seniors, this isn’t just another photoshoot. This is the end of a chapter—the moment before they spread their wings. I see the fire in them, the dreams they’re chasing, and the confidence they’re still learning to own. My goal? To capture their truest selves in images they’ll be proud to look back on for a lifetime, and have fun doing it!
Whether in my cozy Fall City studio or out in the breathtaking landscapes of greater Seattle area, I create one-of-a-kind, artistic portraits that celebrate your story. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real, beautiful moments that belong on your walls or a gorgeous handmade album, not buried in a folder on your computer.
You don’t want to forget this. And with me behind the camera, you won’t have to.
📍 Now booking indoor studio sessions in Fall City, WA—right between Klahanie and Sammamish. Let’s create something unforgettable. Message me to book!
am so excited you're here. I can not wait to hear your vision for your dream portraits and bring them to life with you!

Senior Session
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.
Equine Session
"Christina goes above and beyond just creating a beautiful image — she creates a moment in time that is memorable. The shoot was so much fun, and she is so positive and encouraging. 12/10!"
Equine Session
"Christina took beautiful photos of me and my dog for her legacy shoot. From the beginning, Christina was so sweet - she answered me right away, knowing my dog was older and recently diagnosed as sick so time was of the essence. She has experience from time in vet medicine & from her first message where she comforted me and expressed she agreed with my choice of treatment for my dog, I knew she was the right choice. I appreciated that more than she will ever know!
She was accommodating, available, responsive, kind, and most of all, talented! The photos are ones I will cherish forever. She planned spots ahead of time, spent time checking them out beforehand, and was very knowledgeable about the area and poses when we had to adapt to weather.
I have never had a dog before and I fell in love with my pup, and Christina helped me create memories I will hang in my home for the rest of my days."
LEgacy Session

Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail resulted in photos that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Christina to anyone seeking a talented photographer who can beautifully capture both people and their beloved pets. She is a rare gem and you will feel blessed to work with her. PS Christina loves working with horses as well!"
Pet Session
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!

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 ❤️
Family Session
"Christina was awesome!! She was so great with the kids and at giving us direction. She has a true eye for photography! It was a very comfortable and relaxed experience! I can’t wait for our next session!"
Family Session
"I highly recommend Christina from Beyond the Stables Photography. She was not only professional but an absolute delight to work with. I am a bit uncomfortable in front of a camera -add a big moving horse to the scene and it is a challenge! Christina handled us with true skill. The final photos turned out beautiful and memory of our fun afternoon will be saved forever ."
