Hi! I'm Christine

(she/her)

Since a young age I have been fascinated with images as a form of communication and storytelling. I studied photography for my Bachelor's degree, since then I have about 10 years of photography experience.

Graduate school brought me to NE Ohio where I fell in love with the area & have stayed since. I have my Masters in Education and still serve the higher education industry.

When I am not photographing, I love to run, hike, spend time with family, and attend local events in Akron!

I am passionate

I am passionate

about being able to meet new people and document parts of their lives. Oftentimes, I am capturing firsts and lasts and everything in between, which I take great care in doing.

Christine is simply amazing and wonderful to work with. She is clear and prompt with her communication and her process. Her photography sessions are laid back and comfortable for all involved - nothing ever feels forced. She has an eye for details and quickly learns how to capture you at your best, being yourself. The photos that Christine has taken of my family are hung all over my house and I love looking at them everyday. I plan to continue to book Christine for the months and years to come. Thank you Christine for bright spirit and contagious energy and incredible talent!!

Angelique & AUstin // Couple session

I surprised my boyfriend with a mini session as apart of a date night and It couldn't have been any more amazing than Christine made it! One of the only ideas I had was I wanted to see our playful, loving vibe in photos and she surpassed any expectations we had. She quickly made us get over our nerves and had so much fun! Her energetic and joyful personality made it a core memory for us. She communicated clearly and consistently, clear directions on where to meet her, and posed us in fun ways throughout the shoot. We're already planning our next one!

Words cannot express what a great job Christine does. My husband and I participated in the Valentine’s Day mini shoot and are in love with the photos. Before we arrived, Christine prioritized clear communication and I felt very prepared for our time slot. Joe, a member of her team, met us outside and was such a friendly face to start with. We warned her that we were super awkward and weren’t sure how to pose, but Christine gave great instructions and instantly made us feel comfortable. We cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again!

Abbey // Mom & me session

Christine is amazing! We absolutely loved our photos and had such a fun time at the session. She has such a warm, glowy, and natural editing style that is just beautiful. She captured my daughter and I’s best moments from smiling to silly faces to just hanging out mom and daughter. And I just love that so much. 100% recommend Christine for any photography needs!

Samantha & FAmily // family mini

Christine did our photos for our son’s first birthday, and some family pictures as well. I seriously cannot say enough good things about her. She was so patient, which is super appreciated when you have a one-year-old who would rather run than take pictures. Christine got SO many great shots despite our baby’s constant activity, and never made anything feel too forced or posed. Our older child really dislikes having her picture taken, and even she liked this photo session, which says a lot. Hands down the best photography experience we’ve ever had!

Lyndsey & Jade // Valentine's mini

My spouse and I signed up for a mini-session with Christine for Valentine's Day. She did a wonderful job capturing our personalities on film during a special time in our lives. The booking and payment process, instructions for arriving to the shoot, and instructions for downloading the photos were all clear and easy to follow. We got the photos back in under a week, which was great turnaround time. I recommend hiring her!

Alex // 30th birthday, christmas mini

Christine is absolutely the best! She makes you feel so comfortable when you’re with her and she gets you hyped and excited to be with her.

I hate getting my picture taken, but I know that I trust Christine to take pictures that I know I will love.

Christine is an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ve gone to her twice now and she does not disappoint. She works with you to make sure you feel comfortable and overall have a positive experience.
