I'm a proud mama to three fabulous kids, and it always amazes me how fast they change! Many times, beautiful moments get lost and forgotten, and yet, your child continues to grow. As your photographer I will document your family’s everyday moments and turn them into a memorable story that you will forever be able to relive.
am a family, maternity, and newborn photographer located in Truckee, California and serve Lake Tahoe, Reno, and the Bay Area.
Lake Tahoe family and motherhood photography
Booking a family session in Truckee or Lake Tahoe should be exciting, not stressful. That’s why I guide you every step of the way, answering questions, keeping you informed, and making sure your session feels relaxed and natural.
When you choose me as your family photographer, you get more than just photos—you get a seamless experience with clear communication, access to stunning Tahoe locations, personalized styling advice, a complimentary client closet, and professional prints and products. I keep the process simple and stress-free, so you can focus on making memories. I truly love working with families and can’t wait to capture the magic of yours.
rom our first conversation to the moment you hold your printed photos, I strive to make your experience effortless, fun, and meaningful.
My Approach to portrait
Photography
My maternal grandfather was a brilliant painter, and my maternal great-grandfather was a passionate glass blower and cherished his camera dearly. Capturing beautiful memories runs deep in my family and soul.
y passion for photography developed at a young age. Truthfully, I believe it runs in my veins. My mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather were driven by all forms of art. My mom is a wonderful artist and crafts her own jewelry.
My Background As a Fine Art Lifestyle Photographer
"Christina is the most wonderful photographer to work with. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She makes the entire process seamless and is an excellent communicator and businesswoman. Beyond that, the photos melted our hearts. She truly captured the love within my family. I requested a specific photo, and she nailed it. Our experience with her was very natural, and the photo shoot felt relaxed and personalized for us. We appreciate you, Christina, and can't wait for our next session!"

We were lucky enough to just do our second family session with Christina and absolutely loved everything about our time with her. She is so easy to work with, she makes it fun for the kids, makes everyone feel so comfortable and then captures pure magic. She has captured some of my very favorite photos of my family.

Christina was a dream to work with. She found the most perfect location for us, and she was a patient and kind with our toddler for our family photoshoot. She helped me from the start to choose outfits for our family and brought beautiful gowns for me to wear. We couldn’t be happier with the way she told our family’s story through her art and cannot wait to hang them in our home!
