Hi, I am Cristina.
I'm now a mom who loves to take photos, but first I was a photographers daughter and designated picture taker. My Dad taught me to appreciate light and composition, and my scrapbooking days taught me to capture big and little moments with friends and family.
My love language is taking and sharing photos. I love photographing families because each session is unique. Yes, we'll take a perfect "holiday card shot" (if that's what you're looking for), but we'll spend most of our session playing games, exploring and capturing the sweet connection between your family. I'll provide gentle guidance to ensure we capture the best photos - but there will be no forced posing in our sessions. Kids can run, and play and we'll meet them where they are!
When i'm not photographing families you can find me on the playground with my kids, taking pictures of my dog Pablo, or planning my next adventure. Let's connect!
Testimonials
“Cristina instantly won my 3 year old daughter's trust and had a whole set of tricks for keeping her engaged during the shoot. Everything felt easy, relaxed and fun. We came away with a set of beautiful, authentic photos that really feel like our family.”

“Cristina was amazing with our familly and especially our shy kiddo. She was happy to make suggestions if we weren't sure what to do and also to follow his lead if he wanted to play. Her flexible and fun approach made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy, and we love the photos!”
—Michelle
A great many thanks...
I am able to purse my passion in family photography thanks to the help and support of many people: my Dad, my husband, my kids for being my ongoing models, our PEPS friends for letting me practice with their families, and to my own family photographer Jennifer for her guidance!
