Victoria, BC

5/5(23 reviews)From $285

Hi, I'm Christin! 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 live 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 - hello teenage life) are my world. I love the ocean and enjoy freediving, everything about whales and marine life, as well as exploring the lush rainforests here and foraging for mushrooms. 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!

these in studio Baby sessions are perfect for little ones from 6 months to 1 year+ to capture those milestones that go by way too fast! The gummy little smiles and chubby fingers and toes, and their sweet smiles that light up their face. I love capturing these precious months as we know babies grow quick. I have a studio full of beautiful props to style the session, keeping things simple and timeless to showcase your baby and their personality. I have a selection of outfits and accessories that fit 6-12 month and some beyond that.

Maternity Session

Maternity Session

$385

0.75 Hours

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.

Includes

  • up to 40 mins of Photography Coverage
  • 35+ Enhanced and Edited Digital High Resolution Images
Outdoor Family Session

Outdoor Family Session

$495

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.

Newborn Mini Session

Newborn Mini Session

Having a new baby is one of the absolute most amazing experiences in life! My goal is to create beautiful, timeless imagery, that perfectly captures all the sweetness of your new little one. It can be an overwhelming time as a new parent, but when you arrive at my studio, it’s your time to relax while I work my magic. Having worked with hundreds of newborns, as well as teaching other photographers the art of newborn posing, I pride myself in newborn safety and skillfully posing your sweet baby. I am a mom of three myself! I also have a great collection of props, bonnets, and headbands to style your session with, a mix of beautiful rustic props, and soft textures to showcase your baby. There is never a session that I am not in awe in the miracle of new life. The newborn stage changes oh so quickly, and can be gone before you know it.. in a matter of days. Let me capture that tiny face of your newest family member, just as they are, brand new. The Newborn Mini Session, is up to 1.5 - 2 hours long and includes just solo shots of baby, both in props and posed on the beanbag. The result is 20 images, delivered via an online secure gallery. The Newborn Full Session is 2-3 hours long and includes solo shots of baby both in props and posed on the beanbag, family and sibling poses, and detail close ups (sweet lashes, lips, toes etc.) This session is all inclusive and results in 35+ images

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.

Rachel Beaton

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!

Liam Doyle

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!
