Maryland Family Photographer specializing in natural portraits that preserve the relationships, moments, and little details you'll want to remember.

What Matters Most

 

A joyful mother in a yellow dress holds her baby girl up in a sunny green field.

Connection

Because the photograph is about

more than who's in it.

The way your daughter reaches for you.

The way siblings laugh together.

The way a grandparent holds a grandchild.

It's the connection you'll want to remember.

Memory

Because childhood doesn't stay little for long.

The laughter, the personalities, the ordinary days that somehow become the ones you miss most.

Photographs give you a way back.

A woman wearing a rust hat tenderly kisses a laughing red-haired boy while hugging him on grass.

Heirloom

Because these photographs

shouldn't live on your phone forever.

They're meant to be printed,

framed, shared, and passed down.

Photographs for the people

who come after you, too.

A joyful family of four smiles together outdoors at sunset, with parents each holding a young child near trees.

Kind words

"Christina has such a gift for capturing our family's personalities and the little moments that feel so us. Her photos are the kind that you want to frame as soon as possible - we have her photos all over our walls and it makes me happy every time I seem them"

Sigmon Family

Hi there!  

I'm Christina

I'm the photographer behind Maple & Shaw Photo Co. - a wife, mom, coffee aficiando, and someone who has always believed there's something worth remembering in the day-to-day.


Photography has been a part of my life for a long time, but Maple & Shaw is about more than taking beautiful photographs. Even the name is rooted in family, memory, and pieces of my own story.

Life doesn't have to be extraordinary to be worth remembering
