Hi, I am Cristi Dotson
Meet the photographer
I’m a passionate photographer specializing in newborn portraiture and dedicated to capturing the pure, delicate essence of your little one’s earliest days.
With a gentle touch and a keen artistic eye, I specialize in creating timeless, dreamy portraits that celebrate the wonder of new beginnings. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, ensuring a peaceful and stress-free experience for both baby and parents.
Every tiny yawn, every precious stretch, every sleepy smile—these are the details that make your baby unique, and I’m here to turn them into cherished memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Let’s create something magical together. I can’t wait to be part of your family’s journey!
A little about me...
I’m a proud mom to three amazing kids, Mimi to one sweet grandbaby, and a devoted fur mama to four lovable pets. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and my world is filled with love, laughter, and plenty of adventure.
Whether it’s soaking up the sun at the beach or hitting the open road in an RV, I thrive on exploration and making memories along the way. I have a soft spot for thrilling mysteries and true crime stories, and when I’m not diving into the latest case, you’ll find me at the nearest antique or thrift store.
Life is a beautiful journey, and I embrace every moment with passion and curiosity!
My Authentic Style
My photography is all about capturing life’s most authentic moments—the genuine smiles, tender connections, and fleeting details that make each story unique. With a warm, nostalgic touch, I infuse my images with creamy vintage tones, bringing an air of timeless elegance to every frame.
Inspired by the rich textures and soft hues of film photography, my style embraces organic compositions to create portraits that feel both intimate and artistic. Every image is meant to evoke emotion, transporting you back to that cherished instant, just as you remember it.
Photography isn’t just about pictures—it’s about preserving feelings, and I’m here to make sure those moments remain as beautiful as the day they happened.

Ryann is my future daughter‑in‑law and the sweetest mama to Daniel, and I’m so excited to officially welcome her as my associate photographer. She’ll be specializing in couples, seniors, maternity, family, and wedding photography — bringing her warm presence, natural eye for connection, and genuine love for people into every session. Watching her step confidently into this role has been such a joy, and I can’t wait for my clients to experience the heart and talent she brings to our team.
