Complimentary Styling for Your Session
After you book your session, I’ll send you a guide on “what to expect,” a Spring Inspiration guide (with links), as well as a code to access an online styling service that will assist you in choosing your outfits. Style and Select creates a stress-free process for you to choose clothing items based on your goal vibe + color scheme for your session.
I also have 50 adult dresses and kid pieces for borrow in my client closet.
The entire process was fantastic! The process to book a session was incredibly clear—locations, details, and even backup dates if it was rainy were all shared up front. Once booked, we were provided with a "read me" that guided us through exactly what to expect, as well as tips on how to coordinate clothes and choose a color palette. Communication during this process was crystal clear, timely, and friendly throughout. On the actual session day, Christina was fun and friendly and had my family feeling comfortable.
When the photos were chosen, edited, and delivered, we were blown away! Christina's shooting and editing style is beautiful, and she'll make your family feel like a million bucks. I highly recommend booking her, and I expect to do so again in the future. - Alexander

How many family members can be photographed in the group?
Minis are for groups of six or less. Grandparents can be included if the total number of people are at six or less.
What does the session fee include? Does that include digital downloads?
The session fee of $125 includes your fifteen minute session, styling service, consultation, what to expect guide, spring styling inspiration guide, and portion towards the photography permit. The session fee does not include digital downloads.
Where and what time of day will the sessions take place? What is the vibe?
8-10 AM- Shrine of St. Anthony in Ellicott City. If the timing is right, you’ll catch stunning dark pink cherry blossoms alongside beautiful architecture.
4-6 PM- London Town and Gardens in Edgewater, Maryland. Garden adventure vibes and lush greens.
Is the location accessible?
Both locations are accessible and include a bench. There is a tad more walking with London Town and Gardens.
Can I bring my dog?
Both locations allow leashed dogs. I recommend having a family member to assist with the dog(s) when they are not in the image.
Is there a rain date?
Tentatively, the rain date is Sunday, May 4, 2025. A survey will be sent to clients to determine the best alternative date, so please mark your calendar just in case.
Do we need to dress up?
Not at all! Your family’s comfort and connection matter most. Whether you prefer a dressier look or something more relaxed, I recommend outfits that feel like you and allow for movement and play. My Spring inspiration guide will have some more casual options.
Will there be another mini session this spring? These are very limited sessions for one date only. If you’re looking for more time, flexibility, or a fully customized experience, a Signature Session may be the perfect fit! Signature Sessions allow for a relaxed pace, multiple locations or outfit changes, and a deeper storytelling approach to capture your family’s unique connection. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to chat and help you find the best session for your family!
What happens after the session?
Around one-two weeks after the session you will receive 25+ edited images in an online gallery. Once you click the link, you will have 24 hours to view the gallery and make your collection selection. Once you purchase the collection, you will receive an email with the gallery credit promo code. Your gallery will be active for two weeks to spend your credit in the shop and download your images. You will get to select your favorite images from the gallery.
EXAMPLE: Client purchased collection 2. They will look through the 25+ images in the gallery to download their favorite ten images and will apply the $75 off promo code in the gallery shop.
What is a gallery credit?
A gallery credit is an amount you have to purchase products/prints/keepsakes in the gallery shop. Once you receive your gallery, you will receive a promo code to apply the credit to the shop at checkout.
Why gallery credit?
Having printed products, keepsakes, and prints preserves the legacy of your family. As a busy parent, I related to the never ending to do list and the list of things that just fell by the way side. Having the credit as part of your collection give that gentle nudge to choose prints and products so that images move from phones/computers to homes and hands. You can use a gallery credit on any item in the shop.
Can I buy more images if I choose Collection 3 after I receive my gallery? Can I use my gallery credit to purchase more digital downloads?
You can purchase additional images in groups of 5 and 10, as well as the entire gallery in the gallery shop after you receive your gallery. You can use your code at check-out in the shop. One additional image for digital download is $50.
Can I gift a mini session to a friend/family member?
Absolutely! Mini sessions make thoughtful gifts. Before booking, please make sure your recipient loves my style—natural, joyful, and lifestyle-focused photography. While I capture a only a few classic smiling-at-the-camera portraits, my sessions are all about real moments and connection.
If you'd like to gift a session, reach out! I’d love to help make it extra special.
I hope to work with you this Spring! If you have any questions, please email me at ctundophoto@gmail.com.

Christina had the hardest job of taking shots of another photographer's children. She kept my kids engaged and helped create authentic photos that I will treasure forever. I was impressed with her ability to calm the chaos. – Tj
