Southern Oregon Branding & Portrait Photographer
HELLO THERE!
WHO I AM
Hey, I’m Christine and I’m genuinely so happy you’re here!
With how many incredible photographers are out there, the fact that you're considering me? That’s not lost on me. Truly, thank you.
Let’s start with the basics. I’m married to the love of my life (nine years and counting), and we’re raising three rowdy, big-hearted little boys on a scenic slice of Southern Oregon. Life here is full of chickens, big dogs, wildflower gardens, and enough dirt, mayhem, and laughter to keep things real. Motherhood has been the most refining, joy-filled, and humbling experience, and somehow, it’s made me even more passionate about what I do behind the camera.
My studio? It used to be my childhood horse barn. Now, it's a bright, intentional space where brands come to life, confidence gets a refresh, and people leave standing just a little taller. I specialize in branding and portrait photography with heart, and I’m here for the real stuff. The transformation, the clarity, the feeling you get when you finally see yourself in a new light.
I don’t just want to give you pretty pictures. I want to give you an experience that feels like a deep breath, a moment of being seen, celebrated, and re-energized for whatever comes next.
So whether you're here to elevate your brand, mark a milestone, or finally step in front of the camera in a way that feels true to you, I'm so ready when you are.
Random Facts
I’m a go-go-go kind of gal. Slowing down doesn’t come naturally to me. If there were a way to make “relaxing” more productive, I’d be all over it.
2025 will be my second year growing a cut flower garden in a field that’s way bigger than I know what to do with. It brings me so much joy. Most evenings, you’ll find me out there with the bees and pollinators, admiring the rows of blooms. Am I a great gardener? Heck no. But I aspire to be! You can find my blooms at our good friends’ place, The Whipped Creamery farm store, right next door to the studio.
Businesses I’d start tomorrow if there were five of me: nutrition coaching, a CrossFit gym, aesthetics (yes, I still have my license), a branding and design agency, a podcast, business coaching, an invention I’m currently prototyping, and a software program I’ve already mapped out in my head. A few of these are already in motion.
I could spend all day on the riding lawn mower out on our property. Same goes for weed eating. And don’t even try to take the pressure washer from me once I’ve started on the patio. Come fall, you’ll find me out there with a backpack blower and AirPods in. BLISS!
Apparently, flamingos lose their pink color while raising their young and don’t regain it until their babies need them a little less. Lately, I’ve felt that first flush of pink returning. After stepping back to welcome our third baby and pour into motherhood these last few years, it feels really good to be back doing what I love.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
And why I’m so obsessed with the process
At the heart of it all, this is about so much more than just pretty photos. It’s about you. Seeing yourself fully. Feeling something shift. Walking away a little more grounded, a little more lit up, and a whole lot more confident.
I care deeply (truly, deeply) about the people who step in front of my lens. Whether you're a brand-new business owner finding your footing, a mama soaking up a season that’s flying by, or someone who just needs a moment to remember how incredible she really is, my heart is all in.
Because I’ve seen it time and time again. That spark. That subtle but powerful shift that happens when you’re given permission to slow down, show up, and see yourself in a new light. And let me tell you, it’s magic. The grounded, not-cheesy kind.
That moment? That’s my why.
This work is personal. It’s intentional. And it’s rooted in the belief that when you feel confident and connected to who you are, everything else gets better. You show up differently. You lead differently. You mother, create, speak, and dream with more freedom.
My hope is that this experience becomes a lead domino in your transformation in the most empowering, healthy, joy-soaked way.
Let’s create something beautiful and let it ripple far beyond the camera.
WHAT I BELIEVE IN /
WHAT I BELIEVE IN /
This is the heartbeat behind how I live, work, and show up for my clients. Because when you strive to be rooted in what matters, everything you create becomes more meaningful.
I believe in staying humble and working hard, even when no one’s watching.
I believe integrity matters in every decision, big or small.
I believe in goals so big they scare you (in the best way).
I believe in being real, honest, and vulnerable. That’s where connection lives and life’s just too short to be anything less.
I believe in doing the hard things, especially when they push you outside your comfort zone.
I believe in under-promising and over-delivering.
I believe in the power of fresh air, bare feet, and getting out of your own head whenever possible.
I believe in daily movement as a non-negotiable. It’s right up there with a good therapy session.
I believe that purpose and play are equally important.
I believe that discipline = freedom and how you do anything is how you do everything.
WHAT MAKES MY WORK
DIFFERENT
-
No two sessions are the same, because no two people are. Whether we’re creating scroll-stopping brand visuals, celebrating a chapter of motherhood, or capturing the essence of your story, the process is shaped around you. Your vision, your style, your goals. Always.
-
This isn’t a “just show up and smile” kind of session. I take the time to understand you. Your story, your style, and what you want these images to reflect. With thoughtful planning and full creative direction, every detail is designed to feel intentional, personal, and completely you.
-
From first email to final gallery, I’ve got you. Whether we’re in the studio or chasing golden light outside, you’ll be gently guided every step of the way. The vibe? Calm, unhurried, and fully tailored to you. And when your session includes hair and makeup, just show up and get pampered. I’ll take care of the rest.
-
In a world that moves fast, I believe in slowing down to honor what matters. I offer museum-grade albums, fine art prints, and handcrafted products designed to preserve your legacy with intention. Because these images aren’t meant to sit in a dusty hard drive. They’re meant to be held, displayed, and passed down.
-
Most people show up feeling a little unsure. Unsure of how they want to be seen, unsure how to pose, unsure if they’ll even like being in front of the camera. (Totally normal, by the way.)
But by the end? They’re standing taller, smiling bigger, and seeing themselves with fresh eyes. That quiet, powerful shift? That’s the real magic.
Because this isn’t just about looking good in photos. It’s about walking away feeling seen, confident, and a little more on fire for whatever comes next.
