Ari Is One! – Bay Area Children’s Photographer
Happy Birthday sweet Ari girl!
I was so excited to do a surprise photoshoot of her for her daddy on a recent trip to Northern CA.
We drove through the valley and found the perfect poppy filled field for her 1st birthday pictures.
We played and chased her around the flowers and paths.
I hope now that her daddy is back on land that she is getting lots of daddy cuddles!
I can’t wait to see you again Ari!

Beach Day! -Santa Monica Family Photography

First of all, WELCOME to my new website! After a week of serious frustration, some snapping at my husband and a few tears that were thankfully followed by "AH-HA!" moments I am so happy to finally share it with the world. Who knew I was a web designer?? I sure didn't! I had been telling my self for a few years that to have a site like this I would have to pay for it. When in fact.. I just needed to quit Facebook for a week and FOCUS! My website and blog are now ONE! No more confusing back and forth for you or me. I hope you will have a look around, but keep in mind I am still adding photos to galleries and making small tweeks! To celebrate (really to thank my kids and husband for sticking it through "Christina pretending to be a website builder week") we headed to the beach for a much needed family day at the beach. Here is a little peek at the fun we had. Lex working hard! Kara "catching a wave!" Luke and Kara working together! haha My boys ♥ How cool is this shot!!! Kara and daddy jumping over waves! All of my loves... And the last two photos of the night... "At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun." - Anonymous Want me to send the day photographing your family at the beach? Send me a message and lets make it happen! xoxo Christina Hultquist
Top 10 Personal Photos of 2013

Here is my top 10 personal photos I took this year! Some candid, some I put more thought and planning into and some that were planned and didn't turn out like I had envisioned yet I love just the same! I am so excited to watch how my babies grow and change in the next year and plan on capturing it all! My 2013 personal favs! Our home. This little space was meant to be our home for 18 months. 18 months turned into 4 years when we decided to stay in L.A. for second round at the L.A. Film School. We are in our last few months in this home and I am so grateful I took this imperfectly perfect shot from our life. Walking in on my 4 year old doing a little light reading... Fifth birthday shoot ♥ This photo is now my business card and Kara proudly hands them out to people she likes in public haha Lex's 3rd birthday shoot. This was a shoot photographers nightmares are made of. I picked the perfect time of day. Lex was well rested and seemingly in a good mood. I dressed him in a shirt he loves and headed outside. He, in all his 3 year old glory, wanted NOTHING to do with taking pictures. I was so frustrated as I really was excited to have some 1:1 shooting time with him like (as you can see) I get with Kara so often. After a short time I gave up. I walked back to the house sure that I had got nothing from our short trip of chasing and bribing.. then I opened up the pictures on my computer and fell in love. Sand behind her ears ♥ This. Oh how he loves her. Fishing. 13! Sophie Dance recital What may be my favorite photo I took ALL year. My Banksy balloon girl. xoxo
