I specialize in creating soulful portraits that truly capture the essence of your family, whether it's the 50th anniversary of your parents, the joy of your little ones, the beauty of maternity, or the precious moments with your newborn.
My approach is simple: I tell your story honestly and naturally, while making sure you enjoy a relaxed and joyful experience. We make the story yours with thoughtful pre-session planning to determine the perfect location, wardrobe, and little details. When your session day arrives, you can simply be present with the people you love. I’ll gently guide you into a natural flow, where laughter, connection, and genuine moments can unfold effortlessly. Whether we’re in the comfort of your home, your favorite park, or a simple studio setting, I aim to preserve the love, connection, and fleeting moments that make your family’s story so meaningful.
Whether you're looking for a quick, stress-free session with an experienced photographer or something a bit more luxurious, we have a collection tailored to meet your needs. With every session, you'll receive ALL of the digital negatives, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment or a smile.
I can’t wait to capture the love, laughter, and real moments that make your family’s story one-of-a-kind. ❤️

The Petite Collection is perfect if you just want a simple, quick session, a milestone birthday session, or a pet session.
The Memories Collection works well for larger families or those that have kids that need a little extra time to warm up. This session is also great for engagement or maternity sessions.
The Luxe Collection is best for extended families or groups, newborns, or anyone that wants a luxury session.
This session also works well for special events such as anniversary parties. We can even add additional coverage time if necessary.
I am a FULL-SERVICE photographer providing assistance with your attire, outdoor locations, ideas for props, and assistance creating beautiful natural interactions between your family members.
I can even help you determine where you’ll hang your portraits or fabulous products. You’ll receive beautiful and unique images, but you’ll also have a magnificent experience.
1. To me, it’s all about capturing the LOVE of your family and the MOMENTS you share as HONESTLY and artistically as I can.
2. I believe that your session should be JOYFUL and RELAXED. Our pre-planning of your custom session makes this easy with advice on locations, clothing, and fun, natural poses during the session to bring out your relationships with one another.
3. Christina Johnson Photography will be here tomorrow too. I have been in business for 20 years because I treat my clients with honesty, respect, and fairness.
4. I strive to be innovative and current while still producing images that stand the test of time. I choose fresh, vibrant, true-to-life images above what’s popular this season. I don’t believe in overdone coloration or pre-sets. Trends are just that…and I don’t want to be the shoulder pads of family photography (cool until they just…aren’t).
All images will be edited for color, clarity, and contrast. We strive for natural, true-to-life color with light-creamy skin tones.
Soft skin enhancement can be added to ALL images for a small fee of $75. This service reduces the visibility of imperfections, fine lines, and blemishes, resulting in a more polished and visually appealing complexion. This process doesn't aim to distort natural features but to provide a subtle, retouched effect. Additional editing is available upon request.
We publish an online gallery of all your images within one week. You will be able to download all your images directly to your computer with a click of a button.
You’ll even get a personalized smartphone app for easy access to your images. Plus, you can share your images directly to Facebook right from your gallery if you wish.
We are located in central MN, but we love to explore new areas and are available for domestic and international travel. Travel within a 20-mile radius of Little Falls, MN is included at no charge. Travel outside of this radius is determined on an individual basis.
No. All sessions come complete with high resolution, art ready, digital negatives to all of your images and a copyright release so that you can select your own printing service. There is no obligation to purchase anything further.
We do offer affordable professionally printed products, canvas gallery wraps, art shaped prints, holiday and announcement cards, and beautiful hand crafted albums that you can easily order directly from your gallery.
This service sets us apart from other great photographers.
Yes, we offer Maternity, Birth, Fresh 48, and Newborn Photography.
Maternity and Newborn Sessions fit beautifully into one of our standard sessions (Petite, Memories, or Luxe). Birth Photography and Fresh 48 details are below.
BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY: $2,180
Few moments in life are as powerful as the moment your child enters the world. Birth photography preserves the strength, emotion, and overwhelming love that fills the room when a new life begins.
Your birth session includes:
A pre-birth consultation (in person or by phone) to discuss your birth story, priorities, and any questions you may have.
• 24/7 on-call availability as your due date approaches (with the exception of previously scheduled weddings).
• Coverage of your labor, birth, and postpartum. Moments often include:
• Labor and support from your partner or birth team
• The emotions and strength during delivery
• The moment your baby is born
• Your first time seeing and holding your baby
• Skin-to-skin bonding and first feedings
• Your partner holding the baby for the first time
• Tiny newborn details and your first family photos
• All edited images captured, many presented in timeless black and white.
From the quiet anticipation to the first time you hold your baby, these are the moments that become part of your family’s story forever.
FRESH 48 SESSIONS: $950.
Fresh 48 sessions capture the first precious hours of your baby’s life while everything is still brand new.
These natural, lifestyle sessions take place within the first 48 hours after birth, during daylight hours, at the hospital, birth center, or in your home.
Moments we document often include:
• First introductions with siblings and family
• Tiny details like fingers, toes, and swirls of hair
• Hospital bracelets and newborn measurements
• First feedings and quiet bonding moments
These fleeting moments pass quickly, but photographs allow you to hold onto them
