Meet the Photographer Behind the Lens
Behind Christi Rae Photography is Normal local Christi - a busy mom of two teenage boys, a devoted pet parent to two dogs and two cats, and a creative who turned an early passion for photo editing into a thriving business back in 2013.
Her path to professional photography took on a much deeper purpose after losing her mother unexpectedly that same year. Looking back at cherished family photos taught her how powerful a single photograph can be in holding onto the people and moments we love most as time moves quickly. Today, Christi carries that heart into every session, creating a welcoming, fun environment for families - and yes, four-legged family members are always encouraged to join in on the fun!
Whether you need updated family portraits, milestone captures, seasonal mini-sessions, or pet-friendly photo shoots, Christi brings a personal touch to preserving your family's favorite memories.
