Photography has always been in my blood. My family has a rich history in the arts—my mother creates beautiful jewelry, my grandfather was a talented painter, and my great-grandfather had a deep love for photography. These artistic influences have shaped my vision and my passion for capturing beautiful memories for families.
My approach to family photography is rooted in an organic, documentary style, with the addition of studio portraits to give you a range of options for your family’s memories. I focus on the emotional connections within your family, documenting real moments and telling your unique story. I know motherhood can be challenging, and often, mamas are left behind the camera. I’m committed to empowering mothers, helping them feel beautiful, fierce, and worthy of being in the spotlight. Whether it's an outdoor family session or a studio portrait, my goal is to create stunning artwork and help you preserve your family’s memories for years to come.
Your Fun-Loving family & motherhood Photographer
I'm Christina
am a family, maternity, newborn, and studio photographer based in Truckee, California, nestled in the beautiful Lake Tahoe region. As a proud mama of three and a passionate storyteller, I’ve built my life around capturing authentic, heartfelt moments. I’m a lover of life’s simple treasures, an old-fashioned cocktail enthusiast, and a wanderlust-driven soul. Whether it’s Hiking or enjoying the farmer's market, I find beauty in the little things.

My family is pretty darn amazing. I love my kids and husband to the moon and back. Gia is my oldest child and extremely talented when it comes to art. She’s my stubborn one but also loves deeply. Charlie is my wild middle child and fears nothing. She is also immensely kind and a little mama at heart. Seriously, I think she is going to have 8 kids one day, and she loves approaching moms and asking if she can pet their baby (LOL). And Dominic is my youngest and, by far, most sensitive sweet child. He is also a total boy and loves everything car and super hero related. I was so darn happy when I finally got my boy!

Besides my family, traveling is by far my FAVORITE thing—ever. I always have a trip planned. It gives me something to look forward to and fuels me with so much excitement. I have traveled to many amazing places, but my faves are Turkey, Italy, New Orleans, and Costa Rica. My bucket list destinations are Thailand, basically all of Europe, Japan, and the East Coast during the peak of fall foliage (I am fall obsessed)!

I am very passionate about health and living my best life. I love learning about herbs and natural remedies! A good farmer’s market is my jam. I believe great mental health is the foundation to a healthy lifestyle. I also believe our family ended up in the mountains because nature speaks to my soul and allows me to slow down.

"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. I honestly can not wait to book with Christina again! 10/10 recommend using Christina

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!
