About
Hi, I’m Christine.
I’m drawn to the moments that feel honest—unfiltered, intimate, real. The quiet strength of motherhood. A woman fully at ease in her body. The connection between two people that doesn’t need explanation. These are the stories I tell through my lens.
I was raised in the rain and evergreens of Portland, Oregon, where I first fell in love with photography—not for its perfection, but for how it made me feel. After years in Southern California, I’ve returned home, bringing with me a deepened perspective and a love for working with natural light to create images that feel warm, grounded, and true.
With a background in makeup, styling, and creative direction, I approach photography with intention. I pay close attention to the way light moves across skin, the energy in a posture, and the quiet details that hold meaning.
My work is for those who value depth over performance—who want to be seen as they are, without explanation. Whether documenting maternity, intimate portraits, or partnership, I aim to create photographs that feel real and lasting.
If that speaks to you, let’s make something meaningful together.
