MY PROMISES TO YOU:

THE HEARTBEAT OF MY WORK

let's make it incredible

Every single moment is a gift.
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. you deserve to be left in a state of awe, to be fully present, to be doing exactly what you want.

The fact that we are here on a ball hurtling through space is an absolute Miracle!

let's get in touch!

So, yeah, call me obsessed. I want your celebration to be the BEST it can be.

Before I became a photographer, my husband and I planned our own wedding from top to bottom. We absolutely adored our celebration, but it went by waaaay too fast. We didn’t realize how much more was possible in incorporating our values and enjoying the most out of it all together.

There is a way to combine an emotional celebration with family AND a private ceremonial experience with just your partner – all in a meaningful location while doing what you love. Anything and everything is possible. I'm here to celebrate you exactly how you envision not how everyone else is doing it. 

You deserve a wedding experience that checks all of your boxes

I won’t let you catch a case of the "shoulda-couldas"

Let’s get to know each other more! 

I grew up skiing throughout Tahoe and Utah, camping, playing all the sports, and chasing the sun throughout California. My passion for exploration and creativity led me to the world of Design.

Working as an Art Director, I gained invaluable experience in researching, managing, and creating for a wide range of brands and projects. This was all pretty cool, but my love for photography, yearning for adventure, and the joy I found in sharing life's journey with other people won my heart! Life is too short to not go after the things that feed our souls.

I first discovered my love for photography while working for the Sacramento Kings. There is nothing quite like being on the NBA court and capturing all the action just steps away!

My family is my everything! My husband and I have a house full of two toddlers! One is a laughing chatting machine, while the other prefers her bones and fetch.

My sushi knowledge is a fun flex. Let's team up for your next sushi night out—I'll help you order like a pro and savor every bite!

I love all music, but can get down to some reggae and folk. Oh hey, Dirty Heads and Noah Kahan.

let's do this together!

Your wedding day is about the memories you want to make

Not only does she take some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen, Christina is by far the kindest and sweetest soul you will every meet! Her calm and fun loving demeanor makes it so easy to just be yourself. She is extremely professional, organized, and well-prepared leading up to the day of your event. I can't recommend Christina enough, and my family will definitely be asking her to take more photos as we grow in size over the coming years. THANK YOU, CHRISTINA!

Christina is seriously the most friendly and helpful person we had the pleasure of working with. She really took the time to get to know us, our wedding details and our expectations. our wedding was completely DIY, so she helped us build a timeline and really hammer out the final details that ultimately led to the most PERFECT day. my husband and I could not be happier with the final gallery. Christina was able to capture the spirit of the evening as her work is truly stunning. Overall, it was just a fun, easy, and exciting experience! Definitely recommend!

Christina was warm and welcoming from the beginning. SHE CAPTURED OUR ELOPEMENT IN LAKE TAHOE, CA, LAKESIDE ON A DOCK. Her artistic eye and creative intuition enhanced our vision immensely. We can be shy, and she helped us feel comfortable and natural. Christina documented the sweetest moments with my husband and I, in such a timeless, candid way. Thank you!! Don’t hesitate, just book her!

WE WERE SO AT EASE AFTER WE HIRED CHRISTINA. SHE WAS SWEET, THOUGHTFUL, SUPPORTIVE AND FUN! OUR DAY OF EXPERIENCE WAS EASY, AND HONESTLY CHRISTINA IS WHY. SHE PLANNED WELL, WAS SO PATIENT, AND GENUINE. SHE MADE ME, MY FAMILY AND HUSBAND SO COMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT OUR TIME TOGETHER. WE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER. WE THINK CHRISTINA WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR DAY! WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS SO MUCH, BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. SHE MADE OUR INTIMATE WEDDING APPEAR GLAMOROUS IN ALL OF THE RIGHT WAYS, AND CAPTURED SO MUCH LOVE. Hire her and don’t look back. You will be so grateful!

I keep going through the album and I find something new to love in each photo. christina is AMAZING AND I REALLY CAN’T EXPRESS HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT she Was PART OF OUR DAY.

You won’t find a better photographer! Christina was so sweet and personable. She made sure to get all the photos I specifically asked for and added some of her own flare that turned out so beautiful! I feel so lucky that we had her capturing our wedding day with our loved ones. I cannot thank her enough for our stunning photos!!! Take my word for it (And I’m a bit of a photo-snob) Book this lady!!!

Five stars are not enough!
Christina is AMAZING from start to finish. We LOVED working with her on our wedding day, and all the photos were magically captured creating the best memories for us. Christina should be your FIRST and LAST stop when looking for a photographer.

Christina was everything we could have asked for in a photographer! She always communicated in a timely manner and listened to what was important to us for our day. The day of, she had so much enthusiasm and warmth it made it easy for us and our guests. We got a sneak peak just days later with the best photos! The final gallery had so many more photos than I expected. So happy to work with her!
