  • 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

  • My Digital Christmas Card - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

    • I spent the last two months shooting and editing for all my beautiful clients holiday cards and totally forgot about my own! So THIS is my holiday card! 2013 was a crazy for my family and business. My husband graduated from The Los Angeles Film School as Valedictorian with honors in the spring. My kids started school for the first time ever! I met and photographed so many beautiful families as well as many past clients! (thank you all!)  Now that many of those big changes 2013 brought are out of the way, we are ready to settle into the new year. My husband just started a new job in the film industry. #livingtheLAdream right? hehe I am launching my new boudoir site and and booking for Valentine's shoots NOW! My kids are making many new friends, Kara is just the cutest little dancer at Sophies. So we say BRING IT 2014! We are ready for all the awesome you have in store for our family! And now for my official digital Christmas card.... So next time you give me that look like "So sorry my kids are goofing off" during your shoot, trust me I  don't mind, my kids do it too! I want to thank you all for believing in me and trusting me with documenting so many precious moments! I can't wait to capture many more! I wish you all an magical holiday and blessed New Year! xoxo

  • Fall Family Photos- Los Angeles Family photographer

    • These kids may be my most photographed kids, my own excluded. Their mother Margaret was one of my first friends here in Los Angeles. We met at a quilting club. My son Lex was about 2 months old, her son Runner just a few weeks. After a minute of talking we found we had much in common. Both having just had a homebirth = instant friends. haha A short time later she invited me to attend the homebirth of her second son Emerson.  After a few years, many play dates, a few photoshoots, and a birth.. I present you with their latest family photos! Thank you my sweet friend for trusting me with capturing your family so often!           xoxo Christina Hultquist

  • So Much Love- Hollywood Maternity Photography

    • While I patiently wait for the birth of these two mamas baby, I have been busy working on their maternity photos. It was hard to not just share everyone from their shoot. These photos were shot simply in the yard filled with life and their room filled with books where they will welcome their baby Earthside any day now. The love and gentleness these two had for each other was so beautiful to witness. I can not wait to attend their home birth and do their newborn photos in the upcoming weeks. xoxo Christina Hultquist Send me a message to discuss getting your free maternity photo session when you book me to photograph the birth of your baby.

  • Mommy & Me - Los Angeles Baby Photography

    • Mommy & Me - Los Angeles Baby Photography Kai and his mommy invited me to their highrise home for a mommy and me shoot. High above L.A. in their beautiful bedroom we attempted to get Kai to nurse, Kai had other plans! He was so interested in my camera and what I was doing in his room that he wasn't interested in his mama's milk. We were able to get a few nursing shots but we made the best of it and took the opportunity to get some sweet photos of him and his mama together. Beautiful view, adorable bedroom, gorgeous mama and super cute baby...        Lately I have been checking out the book shelves in the homes I visit. I love to see the contrast between pre-baby and post-baby books. I have never been a fan of the saying "a baby changes everything" but they sure do change your book shelf! xoxo Christina Hultquist

  • Banksy Balloon Girl -Los Angeles Children's Photographer

    • Banksy Balloon Girl Street art is part of city life. I love watching my regular drives transform even without structural changes. It makes me think, creates interesting conversation sometimes just confuses me... Either way, I love it.My all time favorite piece is Banksy's balloon girl. It has always reminded me of my daughter. Her hair blowing in the wind, little dress over jeans.. I see innocence, I see loss, I see hope, I see myself... Let Go. I have had this shot in my mind for a few weeks. Last night my husband, daughter and I went for it! We hike as high as we could over Griffith Park and set up this Banksy inspired shot of my 5 year old Kara Justice. If you are not familiar with Banksy or the art that inspired my photo you can find more is his work at www.banksy.co.uk xoxo Christina Hultquist

  • Nora - Pasadena Newborn Photography

    • When I walked into Nora's home I was greeted by two little guys wondering what side of my car my tailpipe was on. I hadn't thought about it before then... I now know, the left! Their home screamed toddler BOY everywhere (there was a trampoline in the dining room, yeah so fun!) Two little guys escorted me up the stairs to their mom, who was in all white bed nursing the sweetest little bundle still wearing her band from the hospital that read "GIRL." This is a little bit of what I captured during my stay.... 3, 2, and new. Thank you boys for sharing your mom and sister with me and all the laughs!  

  • Emmett - Los Angeles Newborn Photography

    • Even at a few weeks old, little Emmett was the tiniest baby I have photographed! He was such a little love and his super relaxed family was so fun to spend the afternoon with. Here are some pictures from his session.... xoxo Christina Hultquist To book a photoshoot for you newborn and family in Los Angeles email me at christina@littlelaphoto.com
