Finally, a writing station!
On the last day before winter break, I promised my kids I would make them a writing station. I envisioned them spending their break writing and creating. Then break started and so did the rush to finish my editing, then the packing, then the traveling and oh my it is already JANUARY! So I made making this writing station my first (of many) New Year’s resolutions.
The landing at the top of our stairs is our new Writing Station. Clip boards, pencils, paints and brushes. Paper, so much paper! All morning my kids have been creating and my home is strewn with wet paint coated masterpieces!
SO happy I was able to pull this together for them, even if it was at the last minute.
Welcome 2017! I hope you bring lots of creativity into our home!

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
Expressing Motherhood Cast Family Photos -Los Angeles Family Photographer

A few years ago I won tickets to Expressing Motherhood. Tickets to a show for women with free wine and cupcakes.. HECK YEAH! My friend and I both left our nursing babies with our husbands for a ladies night out. This was a rare treat for me at the time. I was pretty new to L.A., had only made a few err, a friend. At the show we treated ourselves to greasy food truck snacks, a few glasses of wine and cupcakes. Each cast member told a different story. Stories of joy, pain, and silliness. The show was raw, humbling, and hilarious. I was so inspired by these woman. Their confidence. Their passion. From the day my husband I moved to L.A., 8 months pregnant with our 20 month old and 10 year old we knew we loved it here. But, after this show though, I felt a connection. A connection with ALL the L.A. moms. Not only the ones like me but the ones who were different as well! I left less judgmental because even if a mom parented different than me we were the same. We all had 1 thing in common aside from having had babies. We were raising kids in L.A.! This year I was asked to do the cast photos for the show. I was honored and excited to be part of a show that was so touching to me and helped me feel like I belonged here. A huge thank you to all these beautiful and families and new friends of Little L.A. Photography! It was wonderful working with you and I can't wait to see the show again! To buy tickets to the shows in May visit Expressing Motherhood
10 Favorite Client Images of 2013 -Los Angeles Chrildren's Photographer
-
As I am wrapping up my sessions from 2013 I am so thankful for all the beautiful opportunities I had with my clients families. Choosing my 10 favorite images from the year wasn't easy. I chose these images for the emotions I feel when I look at them. I feel so blessed that these families chose me to share part of their life with them. Some for only and hour or two with their future baby, their newborn or their toddler. Others I spent days with patiently waiting to photograph their baby coming Eartside. Each time I felt like family as your welcomed me into your homes, let me swaddle up your newborn and trusted me enough to be at your birth. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. These images are in no order as I can not pick a favorite. Also there are many many more I would have added but a "top 100" seemed a bit excessive! This moment candid moment at a nursing session. These two mamas waiting for their son. This angelic mama with her newborn. This smooshy baby girl ♥ My adorable friends in a field hehe Soren's backyard garden birth!! Runner, cautiously allowing me to take his picture. Dana glowing on the beach in Santa Monica. Nursing in labor. This. THIS. This moment. Is why you must hire a birth photographer!! And this. ♥ xoxo Christina Hultquist
