Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is heartbreaking, but you don’t have to face it without lasting memories. As a former Licensed Veterinary Technician, I offer Legacy Sessions to beautifully preserve your bond in your pet’s final moments, no matter the species. This work is deeply personal to me. I provide compassionate, heartfelt sessions so you can cherish their love forever. If time is limited, please let me know—I will do everything I can to be there for you. 💛
Your pets legacy will never be forgotten
Honoring the bond that never fades
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments we face as pet owners. I understand this deeply—not only as an internationally awarded pet photographer but as a former Licensed Veterinary Technician with nearly a decade in emergency, critical care, and oncology. I have stood beside countless families as they said their final goodbyes, and I know how much our pets mean to us.
That’s why I offer Legacy Sessions—a way to preserve the love, connection, and devotion you share with your pet. These sessions are about more than just photographs; they are about capturing the quiet moments, the gentle touches, and the unbreakable bond that will always remain in your heart.
Our pets are with us through life’s ups and downs, and while we wish they could stay forever, their legacy can. I am here to help you hold onto those memories with beautiful, tangible images that will bring you comfort for years to come.
I encourage you to capture every stage of your pet’s journey, but when the golden years come, they are just that—golden. This time is precious, and it deserves to be honored.
If you’re working within a time frame, please let me know in your inquiry. I will do everything I can to ensure that we can create a meaningful tribute to your pet’s legacy.
When the time comes, I will be here for you, offering a compassionate, meaningful experience that allows you to celebrate the life and love you’ve shared.
Let’s create something that will keep their spirit alive forever. 💛
Reach out to me via my contact page please not that you are reaching out regarding an ailing pet. I'll promptly respond to schedule a quick phone call, during which we can discuss your preferences in more detail and provide you with a financial estimate. I know this is hard for you, and I am here to help.
1. Say Hello
During our brief phone call, I'll gather valuable information to tailor the session to your goals. We'll discuss potential locations for your photoshoot, explore the looks you're aiming for, and secure a suitable date. Once I've collected these details, I'll provide you with a more accurate estimate of your financial investment. Every client is unique, and how much you spend is completely up to you & your specific preferences for the final products you would like to take home.
2. Schedule it
If time allows we will schedule a brief zoom to reconnect regarding plans for your photoshoot, making sure we work out the details of any last minute changes, your wardrobe, and dial down the look you are wanting for your photoshoot.
3. Planning it
The day of your Legacy Session has arrived. I’ll be by your side every step of the way, creating a peaceful, heartfelt experience for you and your beloved pet. With gentle guidance and patience, I’ll capture their unique spirit—the love in their eyes, the bond you share, and the moments that mean the most. This session is about celebrating their life and preserving their memory in a way that brings you comfort forever.
4. Your Session
Within 48 hours after your Legacy Session, we’ll meet over Zoom for a heartfelt reveal of your pet’s images. I’ll guide you through selecting your favorites and help you design a beautiful tribute that fits perfectly in your home. Using images of your own walls, I’ll create custom mock-ups so you can see exactly how your portraits will look before they arrive. Once finalized, your artwork will be delivered, ready to hang—a timeless reminder of the love and bond you shared.

"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 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!
