Hi, I’m Christina.

I believe every person carries a story worth telling. The photographs we keep become some of the most valuable things we own: a bridge to the past, a blend of moments and memories, and a reminder of the life we’ve lived. They mark our milestones, preserve our emotions, and often reveal new meaning across the chapters of our lives.

What inspires me the most is genuine emotion. In both life and photography, I value authenticity—the natural, unposed, in-between moments that truly reflect who we are. My passion is capturing images that feel thoughtful, unforced, and deeply sincere.

Some of my favorite photographs aren’t the ones where everyone is posed “just right,” but the ones where no one is paying attention. That’s when true expressions shine—when laughter spills out unexpectedly, when connections unfold naturally, where quiet smiles appear in the background, and people are simply themselves. 

That’s the kind of beauty I want my work to hold.

That’s the kind of beauty I want you to see about your story and those who journey with you in it.

Some Things About Me. . .

  • My passion for portraiture began when I was about ten-years-old, after stumbling on an old copy of National Geographic with Steve McCurry’s Afghan Girl on the cover.

  • I live in Colorado, but I’ll always be a Pacific Northwesterner at heart. I love rainy days that linger for weeks and have strong opinions about how tall “real” trees should be — which, for the record, Colorado does not have.

  • I studied at the Art Institute of Portland and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Website/Graphic Design.

  • I’m a homebody. Olympic-level.

  • During college, while studying Art History, I returned to my Catholic faith. That convergence became a uniquely beautiful gift—faith deepened my love of art, and art deepened my faith. Together, they gave me a profound appreciation for the richness of Catholic tradition—both in its beauty and its expression.

  • Documentary photography is my favorite style. I love the artistic freedom of capturing candid, authentic moments with minimal intervention. It’s the most effective and compelling way to tell a visual story.
