CHRISTINE

Meet

My job is part art, part intuition. I’ll set you up in the best light, tell you exactly what to do with your hands, and then step back to capture it all; the candid moments, the posed ones, and everything in between.



I’m here to make you feel seen, comfortable, and celebrated. The goal isn’t just beautiful photos, but images that feel like you. Honest, effortless, and full of life.

& STORYTELLER

THE ARTIST

I’m a wife, a mama, and a lifelong collector of moments; both yours and mine. I’ve always been more of an observer, drawn to the quiet gestures and little details that often go unnoticed. Whether it’s the way sunlight hits someone’s hair or the soft glance shared across a room, it’s those honest, fleeting moments that stay with me. Travel has played a big part in shaping how I see the world, and photography has always been my way of keeping a visual diary of it all. My home is filled with printed photos; tangible memories of growing babies, faraway places, and the everyday magic I never want to forget. These personal snapshots remind me why I do what I do. With every session, I bring that same heart and intention, telling your story in a way that feels real, timeless, and true to you.

IT’S OBSERVING & READING
THE STORIES OF OTHERS

MY WHY

It’s always been about observing and understanding people. I’m a professional people-watcher at heart, quietly taking in the way someone laughs, the way two hands find each other, the way love shows up in the smallest of moments. Photographs have always held my most important memories, and I believe yours deserve the same kind of care. I do this because I love people. Their stories. Their energy. The way every life is made up of a thousand little details worth remembering.

Memories deserve to live forever, and photography is my way of making sure they do. So that years from now, your story isn’t just remembered; it’s felt, seen, and shared with generations to come.



I acknowledge with gratitude that I live and work on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. It is a privilege to create, connect, and tell stories on this land.

My services are inclusive to all. Kindness, respect, and a deep appreciation for every human being are at the heart of what I do. I welcome all love stories and all families. Whoever you are, and whoever you love; you are seen, celebrated, and safe here.



YOUR LOVE
