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!

Family Session
"I recently had an equine photo session with Beyond the Stables Photography and it was such a wonderful experience. Christina was not only skilled in capturing the beauty and personality of my horse, but also had a great eye for unique angles and lighting. The final photos turned out stunning and truly captured the essence of the bond between me and my horse. I couldn't be happier with the results and I highly recommend Christina to any horse lover looking to capture the special moments with their equine companion."

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
Beyond the Stables photography is a wonderful business run by an even more wonderful woman! Christina is talented in many ways but especially knowing how to best capture animals in all their beauty. She’s taken beautiful photos at our rescue farm and also supported our cause with her business in more ways than one. Highly recommended for a great positive experience!
Horse 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.
Family 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!
