All while guiding you through a simple, easy and show-stopping way to display your portraits to be loved forever. The studio is located in Hinsdale, and I also hold sessions outdoors or in your home throughout Chicago. The entire experience working with Cristina was unlike anything I have had before.
From start to finish, Cristina walked us through what to expect, and helped with location and wardrobe styling - Lena was so excited to pick out a dress to wear! She makes turning your photos into works of art in your home super easy. It was such a beautiful day, and our experience was emotional yet peaceful.

I am passionate about getting tangible products into my clients hands, so that they have memories on more than just a screen. I was a first time mom and never got around to printing any of those images. I do photography a little differently. While I make sure you look your best, I'm committed to capturing moments of authentic emotion.
A 3 hour session that lasts the rest of their lives. It's the first story we'll be able to tell our little ones. Together I'll help you create these memories from wardrobe, location, to your final art display. Family sessions are filled with fun games, laughter and innocent moments between you and your children.
While we all have thousands of photos saved on our phones, there's still something magical about having printed art featuring the ones you love most on the walls of your home. It allows you to actually freeze those moments in time and remember when you were pregnant with your first baby, those newborn cuddles that just melt into your chest, or when your children were still tiny and snuggly.

I had a maternity session with Cristina and it was wonderful. Not only did the photos turn our beautiful, but she also did such a great job of making me and my husband both feel comfortable the entire time. Even if you're not comfortable being on camera, she makes it seem so easy and effortless to get good photos and make it feel natural. I can't wait to take future photos with her!

Cristina Hope offers one-of-a-kind, full service photography. She has taken newborn and family photos for me twice now. She has helped me style my family’s wardrobe, providing me with beautiful and flattering studio wardrobe each time.
Once our photos were ready, she came to our home to show us and help us select images. Each time we selected images to have printed, matted and framed to hang in a gallery collection she helped us design for our home.
I absolutely love the moments in time that she has captured for us and whole heartedly recommend her.

Contacted her a week ago about getting family photos done in June. We had a great chat at first but I missed her one message about having a phone call because life got crazy that evening. So I responded her the following morning. It was a couple days later and I hadn’t heard anything so I checked again and saw that she read it but didn’t respond. So I messaged her again thinking “maybe her life got busy as well!” Nope. She read that message as well but didn’t respond. As a photographer myself I feel that’s no way to treat a future client.

Cristina’s photos are hard to put a value on...she captures precious moments with loved ones that will be cherished for a life time. Not only are the photos amazing and of high quality, but the way she works with her clients is amazing and she definitely has a knack for working with newborns. My favorite part of being photographed by Cristina is her eye for creativity and again capturing moments that you had no idea would be so special. She wants it to be natural and heart felt, no awkward or cheesy poses. I can’t explain the feeling but when you see the photos she captures of you, you’ll

We loved working with Cristina!! We were first in touch with her when our daughter was about 4 months old. We discussed what our options would be and mutually decided to wait until she was able to sit up. Cristina came over initially with soooo many beautiful examples of her work which really confirmed to my husband and I that were making a good investment in her work.
Cristina communicated with me via email while we coordinated/discussed the best outfit options. As a new Mom, I was pretty insecure about taking such lasting photos while still adjusting to my new body. She was super helpful! We

Where do I begin.... Cristina is absolutely amazing! Her Work speaks for its self. As a long time friend I can vouch for the fact that she Loves what she does. She finds the beauty in everything. She has an amazing eye with a killer personality that just makes being photographed so easy and fun. Cristina has worked with myself on several occasions; maternity, newborn and 6 month. The best part is every shoot has brought back breath taking photos with moments that can never be forgotten. Each shoot at a different location, Bc Cristina has a knack for finding such scenic areas easy to get comfortable

We used Cristina for our newborn shots. She was very creative and got some really amazing shots! We asked if she could take a few photos of our other son while she was here and she got him to laugh and smile so much. She really captured the love we felt in bringing home our newborn. She was very flexible with time and dates and made us all feel very comfortable. We ordered 6 prints from our session and they are beautiful! I definitely recommend Cristina for any of your photography needs!

We are a family of five with three girls constantly changing and growing up. Cristina's pictures for me have paused the most precious moments of my little girls. The shoot was so effortless we just were being us and I couldn't have imagined the smiles , the love, and how it was even possible to get their personalities. My girls were so comfortable with her she was such a professional. We will definitely continue to get our pictures done by her and if you would like time paused on those precious moments we can never get back with our babies , I suggest you book with her asap. Thank you Cristina

Crissi is amazing at what she does. I came to her with my newborn, Giuliana, when she was just a week old. The way she worked with my baby came so easy and natural to her. At first, I didn't expect to be in any of the photos, but then she caught such a tender moment between my baby girl and I that it ended up being one of my absolute favorites. It takes a special kind of person to photograph babies and Crissi is one of those people. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We are so lucky and grateful to have these precious moments to cherish forever. Definitely would recommend her to friends
