A 4th Place Win!

I attended a nature photography workshop this weekend through National Camera Exchange. The instructor of the course was Don Gale, a fantastic photographer! We photographed all day Saturday at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a great place to spend the day playing with your camera! Tamron (a lens company) was one of the sponsors of the event loaned out all their various lenses, one of which I feel in love with and am hoping going to purchase for macro photography. Part of the workshop included a photo contest from the shots we took (straight out of the camera) in the morning. Each student was allowed to pick two of their favorite shots for the contest, then National Camera printed each photo in a 12x18 print and the winners were picked that night. I am so pleased that out of 6o prints, one of mine was selected as a 4th place winner! Wohoo!

One Year Anniversary!

It's official, Photography by Christine has been in business in the US for one year! Just one year ago, I was unpacking, organizing from an international move, getting our family settled, and rolling out my business all at the same time! It has been a busy year capturing lots of memories with tremendous growth personally and professionally! I look forward to what the next year brings...

Updated website!

I finally had a chance this month to update my website with photos of children from all my summer sessions in London and in the US. All my favorites are in the various galleries at my website www.photographybychristine.net. There are photos from every session I had, so check it out and find your little ones!

Photos at Lake Harriet

It was fun to have a session at Lake Harriet today. I have not been there since I moved back from London, I really miss that part of the city! Of course it is always a very busy location, a benefit race was just finishing up when our session was starting, but you can always find a place to get away from the crowds.

This handsome little guy was really shy in the beginning of our session. He kept signing "all done" when we were just getting started! By the end of the session he managed to let go of mom and take a few steps away. I was very pleased I got a high five from him the end of the session! Enjoy!
