Christie Brown | San Francisco Bay Area Family + Child Photographer bio picture
  • Welcome! My name is Christie, and thank you for stopping by! I am a lifestyle photographer serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz County. You’ll find that my style is modern and fresh with a twist of sunshine, infused with vibrancy and sprinkled with that little thing we call LOVE.

    During our time together, I want to capture the laughter and real moments that you see daily and love about your children. When we meet, show me your heart, the joy and magic of your family. I can't wait to meet you!

    P.S. I'm fun to work with :)

I get asked a LOT about what to wear for family photos. Well, if you know me, you know that white t-shirts and jeans are not on my list of suggestions.;)It can be daunting to dress an entire family in COORDINATING outfits (read: not “matchy matchy”). This is an example where white and denim CAN work perfectly, effortlessly and comfortably. Approved! LOVED working with the beautiful Johnson family.

Yes, I’m still alive! I’ve been quite busy with my family, my client’s families, babies and expecting mamas to be this spring! I’ve been meaning to post to the ol’ blog, but here we are. #tailbetweenlegs

If you want to keep up with the latest, I do frequent my Facebook page a wee more.

It’s pretty much bittersweet when the final session of a first year package comes around. You look at this sweet little face that you captured at just 7-10 days old, and then every three months thereafter….and then BA-BAM! She’s ONE. Like that. Sophia has to be one of the most mellow, go with the flow babes. Happy HAPPY first birthday, you beautiful little love bug.

This session wouldn’t of been nearly as fun if it hadn’t been for my dear friend Amy’s delicious and fabulous cake! The one, the only….The Sugar Fairy. Beautiful designs and delicious baked goods (the banana with cream cake = heaven!). Don’t even get me started on the fudge cake she did for my daughter’s birthday. Yumtastic! Please visit her facebook page, poke around, salivate at her delicious cakes, cookies and more. Yum!

Lauri’s Creations gave us an assortment of beautiful headbands too – super cute. I’ve been photographing Lauri’s Creations since Sophia was just a newborn. Check out her site!

Scott emailed me late Dec inquiring about a shoot for his wife’s upcoming birthday. He wanted to surprise her with portraits of their daughters. I have to say, I was quite impressed he took the girls shopping, organized the shoot AND pulled off the surprise! Nice work, Scott. He scored major husband points. I hope you had a beautiful birthday, Danielle!
