I specialize in producing romantic storytelling images that make you FEEL. I am someone who sees a lot, cares a lot, and captures a lot. And I produce images from a place of love. I have over 5 years of experience in couples, event, portrait, and wedding photography. I have worked with country music artists, magazines, podcasts, and corporations, but my favorite is still documenting the lives of ordinary couples and families. I genuinely believe in the value of love & connection, and enjoy so much capturing memorable moments that will be cherished for years to come. Evident from all my stellar reviews, I value clear and transparent communication and always try my best to cater to my clients’ needs and wants. Yes, this is business. But I have always believed in a “human first” business approach and the immense benefit of treating everyone with authenticity and kindness. I enjoy working with adventurous and fun people (raise your hands if you see me, because I see you!). Raised in the sunny coast of California, my style is romantic, clean, with a tint of moody charm, and I always aspire to capture the funnest, most authentic moments of each client. You will NOT see pixel-perfect, heavily photoshopped, dress-flying-in-the-sky, ethereal pictures from me (although I do throw in a few in each session): that is simply not my vibe or what I believe in. I welcome all clients as they are and try to document as such. My photos are authentic, romantic, and truthful reflections of the energies I get from my clients: no one is the same, so why should everyone’s photo conforms to a stock-photo standard? But if you’re my people & believe in what I believe in, let’s PARTY! Hiking in the snow for half an hour until all our boots and socks get wet just to capture the snowfall? Camouflaging as a tourist watching ducks just so I could snitch that proposal photo in the pouring rain? HECK YES! I want to see these real smiles, raw emotions, and will be your personal hype-lady :) I can’t wait to work with each one of you.

Christina was a delight to work with, always quick to respond to my questions, and even though it was a last minute booking, she gave us a lot of great pro tips for my daughter’s senior portrait. And the photos!! We can’t be happier with how they turned out! She even made us some cute collages! We are already planning on getting family portrait with her. You won’t regret going with Christina!!

Details: Solo portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

BEST decision we made!!!! She was incredible!!!! Absolutely stunning photos!!! I hoped to get a mix of candid and portrait shots for my 6 month old and our family. I reached out a day before and Christine was SO quick to respond, willing to squeeze me into her busy schedule and was extremely supportive with everything leading upto the shoot. During the shoot was SO fun!!!! Amazing eye for shots and it was honestly such a relaxed session!!! And I say that this was the case for a 6 month olds milestone shoot!! 🙈 the photos captured such precious moments!! I don’t think we even realized/imagined it could’ve gotten captured that way!! Thank you so much, Christine!!! Truly 🥹❤️ (not able to share many photos cause of concern for baby’s privacy, but truly truly stunning photos!!!) Hire her and you won’t regret it!!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

We liked a lot the pictures that Christine created. The communication was prompt and efficient. During the photo shoot session she was able to connect really well with the person and produced expressive and veritable portraits. The price point was very competitive and definitely a value. Would not hesitate to hire Christine again for other photo projects.

Christine did a beautiful maternity shoot for us and we had a great time working with her. She’s punctual and very professional and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. The turnaround time for the photos was very quick and we were very happy with the outcome. She delivered exactly what we had in mind and went above and beyond when we asked for a few changes.
