Being pregnant is such an exciting time! Whether it’s your first or your second or third, each little kick or movement is a reminder of the sweet baby about to be welcomed into your family! The journey into motherhood is something to be celebrated. All the incredible ways your body changes and grows. Capturing that beautiful glowing belly, and all the amazing curves is a powerful way to always remember that time when your baby was inside. Showing the connection between you and your partner, or the excitement on a big sibling to be’s face, it’s a time worth documenting. If you are booking a maternity session with a newborn session, there is a discounted rate for the maternity session. (the maternity session would be $250,) the discount ($135) will be applied to the newborn session.

Glitter Session

A family session is all about connection. Those genuine candid smiles and laughs. Not your typical stand beside each other stiff and smile, those pictures show what a person look like. My goal is to create images that make you feel! That when you look at them years down the road you smile because you are taken back to that moment when your children were just little, and you remember the sound of their laugh or the way they looked at you. These sessions are fun and relaxed. I'm happy to suggest some great locations depending on the setting you'd like (field, beach, forest, mountain etc.) and I am available within the greater Victoria area. Ideally to be shot during golden hour, the hour before sunset.

Twins S + E | newborn session

This family session felt extra special! Not only was it Mom + Dad's anniversary, but both of their grown children were home here in Victoria BC visiting for the holidays. Mom had been dreaming of family photographs, and we were graced with the most beautiful sunrise!! Then, when it already seemed so magical, a pod of ORCAS came by! Happy tears were definitely shed (ok, I was crying!)

When you prompt to gaze out over the ocean, and a pod of WHALES swim by!

To finish up this beautiful family photography session, we went back to the family home in Oak Bay Victoria to be able to include the fur babies!

If you&rsquo;d love to book in your own family photography session here in Victoria BC, or the Greater Victoria Area, I&rsquo;d love to chat!

Capturing your love stories and connections through my lens.

Video Title

We did a family photo shoot during the heights of COVID, and Christin was amazing with our 3 and 6 year-old. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous and she somehow managed to get both great action shots as well as beautiful posed portraits, all while she was socially distancing and staying masked up! Great value for the product, and she was very patient with us and our kids. Thank you so much for your beautiful work capturing our special memories!

We were traveling from Ontario to Victoria for the first time and wanted family photos in a beautiful setting. Christin chose the perfect location for our family and made the whole process fun. It just felt so natural! I quickly received a teaser photo and fell in love. Absolutely perfect results! We'll be booking with Ooh Ooh Darling again on our next vacation to Victoria.

Hazel Connaghan

Christin is just wonderful. She did our 1 year old baby photos and she could not have been more kind, more talented, more fun! She made the experience fantastic from start to finish and the images made us all cry with how gorgeous they turned out. Christin is also a lovely person who volunteers and contributes her time to important causes and so I could not recommend her more highly!

Please write in this style: "
I am an island born girl (she/her), who was raised in Ontario. I've forever had a longing to be back by the sea, and the beautiful forest and mountains, and am so happy to be home on the traditional lək̓ʷəŋən - Lekwungen Territory, in Victoria, BC. which is also home to my downtown (LGBTQ friendly and all body positive) photography studio.

I am a single mama, and my three littles (who are not quite so little anymore) are my world. The importance of motherhood, and that wild love like no other is what inspires me. The stories between a couple, the love the sparks your souls on fire. Families built on so much history and love. Connections. These are are the things that inspire me - people and their connections and the stories they tell.

Let me help tell your story!"

Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.
