Christie Cunningham
Hey all! I am a full-time momtographer and part-time professional photographer, in addition to being a graphic designer for a swaddle company (and stay-at-home mom!). I have been married for almost 10 years and have two boys (5 and 3) and two pups. My husband and I live in the town we grew up in to stay near family, but satisfy our wanderlust by journeying to the national parks.
I first dove into photography when I received a camera as a wedding present. I spent a lot of time figuring out my style and what did and didn’t work for me, but started getting into the lifestyle world when I had my oldest and learned that I wanted to capture moments for him, and of him, rather than have a million posed images of him just looking at the camera. This started to translate over to my business and became firmly cemented as my style by the time I had my youngest. I love all things lifestyle and documentary, and I’ve never looked back.
I value my role as the family historian, especially since I have a terrible memory! Photography fills that gap nicely. I love capturing the quirks of the different ages of my kids as they grow up and how these images can transport me back in time when I look through our family year books. Recently, I have discovered a new love of teaching and mentoring within the photography world and I can’t wait to share with you all!
