Rex, the coolest canine in town, and his awesome owner Alicia wanted some epic shots without venturing too far from home, so we hit up Seattle's Ballard Locks. With its mix of blooming flowers and chill vibes, it was the perfect spot for their session. Rex was such a joy to capture! Against the backdrop of lush greenery and colorful blooms, I snapped away, catching all those special moments between Rex and Alicia. It was pure magic.
A special bond

Cocoa has been a cherished member of the family long before her girl came into the world. With Cocoa's advancing age, they wanted to capture stunning portraits to immortalize their beloved companion forever. Considering Cocoa's limitations, they opted for a scenic backdrop that accommodated her needs. Despite the weather briefly cooperating, we swiftly transitioned to our backup location, resulting in an array of beautiful options for them to choose from.
A lifelong bond

"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!"

"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!
