It’s all about you, and for the love of film.
Hi, I’m Christina.
I’m a film photographer dedicated to elevating the wabi sabi moments, glimmers and gusto of your daily rhythms and celebrated occasions. Whether getting married, growing your family or bringing friends together just because, your joy is my subject. What you celebrate, I spotlight with film.
Working Together
I’m a film fanatic who’s forever fascinated by people. So, I decided to merge my passions into a profession that allows me to share the marvel of film with anyone, anywhere, no matter the occasion. This means I photograph newborns and newlyweds, families at home and friends going places, proposals and dinner parties and soon-to-be-parents alike. I document love of all occasions and identities; the simple rituals and milestone moments families share; and a hodgepodge of celebrated “why nots?” and “simply becauses” that define and deliver joy.
To me, success isn’t about distinguishing myself in one industry or gaining street cred through experience with a single audience. Instead, it’s about telling all celebration stories and, by doing so, igniting a broader collective of fellow film lovers.
Put simply, it’s all about you, and for the love of film.

Testimonials
“Christina has a unique yet timeless way of capturing and editing photographs. Everything we wanted really came through- and then some. She was able to take our notes and vibe to get the shots we were looking for while also providing her own direction, which resulted in some really stellar shots we hadn't even thought about.”
Gabrielle & Dominic
“My goodness, we had so much fun with Christina! The “shoot” — shoot in quotations because there was nothing stuffy, awkward or posed about the time we spent with her — was easy and all-around delightful, kind of like we took a spontaneous trip to the beach.
Christina has a unique ability to command a dynamic that just feels right; she compels your most natural self to willingly be front and center (yes, this may surprise you!), all while making her presence feel invisible. How this translates to film? Raw intimacy and authenticity, infused with her artistry.”
The Scotts
“Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. My husband and I came from out of state to Chicago for our elopement, so it was incredibly helpful that Christina knew all the spots for the best shots. We felt so comfortable with her and are so grateful for such a wonderful experience! We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives!”
