• Welcome to Brittney McChristy Photography Blog!

    I am a photographer in Portland Oregon, specializing in newborns, babies, children, and family portraits though I've been known to photograph some seniors and weddings as well!  I've been in business for over 5 years now, ensuring technical prowess along with experience getting little ones to be comfortable in front of the camera. You have your choice of where to do your session-- it can take place at my SE studio, at your home (great for newborns and I bring all the studio gear!) or at a local outdoor location. As a mom myself, I am patient and give plenty of time for each session to allow for snacks, meltdowns and potty breaks. Feel free to browse this and my main website if you want more information.

    I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures from my recent photo sessions!

End of Summer

I am a terrible terrible blogger. I am even only vaguely good at updating my facebook page with biz pictures (but check that out for a better selection of my recent pictures). We shot this on a very grey summer day, that ended up turning to buckets of rain while we were in the middle of the field. We soldiered on though, and I love the results.

more 6 month cuteness

Its been a busy spring! So I don’t know why I keep posting 6 month olds except for maybe just the high cute factor. This session was done in the SE Portland studio as well.  Enjoy!

6 month old, the cutest age for babies! an in studio photo session

I have had a bunch of six month olds in the last month, much to my delight. Its impossible to not smile during a session with a baby this age. They are at their chunkiest first off. They also are usually sitting but not crawling which makes my job easier:)But the best part is that they are so friendly and flirty. Even the most serious and introverted babies are curious and engaging at this age– this isn’t necessarily still true at their one year session. I am very behind in my blogging but here is one of those sessions– you can see his newborn pictures done at home back six months ago. His mom brought some great stuff to the studio– vintage toys and outfits– which were really fun to work with.

in studio newborn session: Portland Oregon baby photographer

This baby was such a good little baby! I did this session during the Christmas rush. We were a little worried about him falling asleep, but then we just stopped trying so hard and he instantly passed out. Since we did this one in studio, I was able to use both natural and artificial light which is especially nice bonus in these darker winter days. His mom signed up for the Baby’s First Year plan, so I am looking forward to watching him grow.

in home newborn session: Portland baby photography

One of several newborns I’ve done the last few weeks in the drive up to the holidays. This baby was about 4 days old. I offer the choice of at home or in studio sessions for newborns who live in Portland. I’ve been doing more and more in the studio because its the best option for people who want backgrounds. But this session was done at their home.
