Hudson Valley Photographer
for life's big moments and the quiet in-betweens

01

Don’t get me wrong: I give it my absolute all at every session, but I simply care more about capturing the authentic than the scripted. Because at the end of the day, it’s those genuine moments that you’ll connect with when you see your gallery for the first time or in decades down the road.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS YOU CAN FEEL.

I'm Christina,
and I need to get something
 out of the way -

Hey, there.

I WILL NOT FORCE YOUR KID TO SMILE

That loss shaped me—it made me realize how important it is to have something to look back on, especially the little moments that seem small at the time.

When I became a mother myself, that desire to document my family’s story deepened. I wanted to capture the everyday as we were living it. I wanted to dull the ache that every mother feels when you watch your child grow and change and it all seems way too fast. 

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE IS THIS:

Your hair is a mess? Take the picture. 
Kids acting like feral raccoons? Especially, take the picture!

One day, you're gonna look back and wish you had that blurry, chaotic, perfectly imperfect memory.

(GOOD THING YOU CAN ALSO HIRE ME TO TAKE SOME PRETTY ONES)

When I was 16, I lost my mom
and I was left with only a
 handful of photos.

Some of the wisest lessons I’ve learned came from my four-year-old, a yoga mat, and a few beautifully broken moments. Life’s got a sense of humor like that

I’m always chasing the feeling, not the trend. Whether it’s in motherhood, marriage, or my work—I want what’s real

Small talk isn’t my strong suit. But if you want to chat about the universe, your latest epiphany, or why we’re all really here—I’m all ears.

My anxiety and I go way back. She’s not great company, but she is punctual.  We love to RSVP early to literally everything.

Tea, breathwork, and a little bit of chaos is how most of my days start

I believe every story is a poem waiting to be told—even if it begins with a tantrum and ends with laughter.

Christina is INCREDIBLE. She truly makes the entire experience magical. She first shot our pregnancy reveal and since then she has done our maternity shoot and a family Halloween shoot- and every time she has outdone herself. 

"Christina takes away all the awkwardness of posing for the camera and makes the entire experience fun"
Lorna pierson

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Christina twice, and each time she has blown us away. Our first session was deeply personal, capturing my breastfeeding journey, and the photos were nothing short of breathtaking. She preserved such a meaningful moment in time with warmth and authenticity that I’ll treasure forever.

She is unbelievably talented. I am so grateful for the photo she was able to capture my family. She was so incredible to work with from the booking to after the photos. She helped find outfits that would work best for my family in order for the photos to be incredible. I highly recommend her

"Christina is absolutely amazing to work with"

You won't get the moment back, but you can keep it close. 

Photos won’t stop time, but they will help you remember—

Chunky toddler thighs and belly laughs. Muddy feet and sun-drenched evenings. To all the real, beautiful chaos of right now. These moments may feel small today—but one day, they’ll mean everything.

Let's bottle up this chapter before it slips away.
