In a world of Photoshop, Facetune, and unattainable "perfection" I want to showcase the beauty available in everyone. Many of my favorite photos are candid, which might not be what we think of as traditionally “flattering”. Rather, candid moments showcase the full spectrum of feelings with all the ups and downs along the way—which, to me, is much more beautiful. My hope is that we can start to let go of the idealized (and arbitrary) version of beauty and instead embrace the beautiful chaos that is real life and the real you. I myself find an overwhelming amount of beauty in each person, in the everyday, and I hope my photography illuminates that for you.
I would describe my photography style as "emotive editorial photography with a focus on authenticity and simplicity". Beautiful backdrops or exotic locations are fun, but they are not what my style is about. All I want to do is to capture the innate beauty of the person and the feeling of the moment.
Hello, I'm Christina.
My photography journey started in childhood when my dad taught me how to use his Minolta DSLR film camera. Since then, my eyes cannot stop seeing photographs in the beauty all around. After becoming a parent myself, my appreciation for all the stunning yet fleeting moments has only increased.
I now live in Northern Virginia with my husband and son who we named after a poet. I am comfortable with the uncomfortable, can chat with you about anything, and love learning anything new. I think of myself as an eclectic, playful, yet substantive person.
In what now feels like another lifetime, I served for a half decade in NYC as an anti-eviction litigator defending low-income tenants. I like to joke that I was the "good" kind of lawyer. My hope now is to help people memorialize moments in time that can be cherished for generations to come. Most importantly, I want you to feel seen.
