I'm a full-time photographer based in the charming seaside town of Essex, located 45 minutes north of Boston. 

My days are filled with capturing families, small businesses, and one-year-olds—and every now and then, I get to photograph a beautiful wedding. It's the perfect mix that keeps my work fresh and exciting.

I’m a sentimental soul, an avid dog lover, and totally obsessed with being a parent to teenagers. I'm definitely not a morning person, but I love staying up late editing photos or dreaming up new creative ideas. Wrapped in a cozy blanket at my desk, with music or a podcast playing, is my happy place.

I pour my heart into every image I create because I truly love what I do. Building a genuine connection with you is so important to me. I don’t just want to be your photographer—I want to be a friend who gets to celebrate life’s special moments alongside you.

 I'm Christina,
 and I believe your story deserves to be told with grace and intention.

Christina is an absolute pleasure to work with! Scheduling is a breeze, when setting up my daughter’s first birthday shoot, she was instrumental in helping me choose outfits, had the best conceptual ideas on choosing color schemes, flower crown, literally everything and I adore the photos from that day. To help me with all this, she fielded endless emails from me in a sweet and timely manner to get us ready for the shoot. 
We also had family shots with Christina and she is wonderful with children, picture two wild 5 year olds, and yet she was able to make them laugh and get fabulous family photos despite their behavior during the session (she even had lollipops for the kids, she just knows kids 😊).
I would book more important family photos with Christina in a heartbeat, in fact I plan to, as she has such a great eye and is so relaxed and personable, you feel like you are hanging out with a good friend, she makes everyone so comfortable.”

I recently had my first ever professional photos done by Christina. From the very start I felt confident in my decision to choose her as my photographer. Booking was super easy and her attention to detail even before meeting for the session surpassed my expectations. She made sure to go over in detail what I was looking for, what the vibe of my business was, and included information on how to make the most of our time together. I'm not someone that particularly likes to get in front of a camera. Within the first few shots I kind of forgot she was even taking them. She is so down to earth and easy to talk to, it felt like I was just catching up with a friend. My photos came out exactly how I had mentioned I wanted them. She even captured aspects of my business I didn't think of, that turned out to be my favorite images. I would highly recommend Christina for any type of photography you are looking for. I know I'll be back for not only business photos but family sessions as well.
