About

Hello, I’m Christine

There’s something magical about capturing the most intimate moments of life—the quiet joy of motherhood, the sensuality of a woman embracing her beauty, and the love shared between two souls. These moments are fleeting, yet they hold a depth that lingers forever. That’s what I seek to capture: the art of emotion, the beauty of connection.

I grew up in the soft rains of Portland, OR, where I first fell in love with the feeling photography gave me. I wasn’t interested in technical perfection; I was drawn to the way a moment could stir something deep within. Now, I call sunny Southern California home, and the light here gives every image a certain glow, a warmth, like the intimacy shared in secret.

With a background in makeup, styling, and art direction, I approach photography like an artist painting a timeless portrait. Every detail matters, from the way light caresses skin to the subtle allure of a glance. My work is for those who believe in celebrating life’s milestones—whether it’s the beauty of maternity, the quiet confidence of intimate portraits, or the magic of love.

To me, photography is about creating art that feels alive—art that lets you relive the joy, passion, and tenderness in every frame. If you appreciate thoughtfulness, if you want to feel empowered and seen, I’d love to create something unforgettable with you.
