Joy, 100% Guaranteed! With my Portrait Process:
"Listen, I hate having professional photos done. This time was unlike everything I've experienced in my lifetime. Christina got to know me as a person, understood what mattered to me, and was able to capture in pictures my authentic self. I left her studio feeling valued, empowered, and proud for how I am showing up in the world.
We shot for three different brands, and she understood each and represented it so well.
Everyone should experience her unique and compelling approach. I have received countless positive reviews about the images - repeatedly hearing, 'She captured the REAL you.'
What more could I want?"

We Know How it Feels to Get a Bad Photo
It's Embarrassing, Disappointing, Demoralizing
After graduating from NYU, I started my own art / graphic design business— a 2002 side hustle. I hired a well-known, professional NYC photographer for my headshots. It was a bit pricy for me, but their work looked beautiful so I took a gulp and hired them.
I didn’t talk to them at all between when I gave them my credit card number and the appointment of our session. I spent hours trying on clothes and figuring out what to wear. I did my best hair and makeup styling I knew how, and met the photographer at a park. I don’t remember much about the actual session anymore. I got a disk in the mail and that was the end of it. I can remember putting that disk in my computer like it was yesterday. I didn’t mind that there were 100 photos - I was encouraged by it.
But my heart sank as I clicked from photo to photo. Nobody told me that beige pants against the gray New York City skyline will basically look like I’m naked. Nobody flipped my piece of hair that was going the wrong way. I put that disk in a drawer and I never looked at it again. I didn’t even think to say anything to the photographer - that’s just what I look like, right? I was too embarrassed.
I took a winding path towards becoming a portrait photographer myself, and a huge part of that path has been learning how to flatter every body and every face with great lighting and posing. No one should ever feel the way I felt getting that disk.
Every step in my portrait process is designed to ensure that when you work with me you feel taken care of and in-control leading up to the session. You feel pampered and happy during the session, and proud of what you see when it’s all wrapped up.
How Do I Make Sure You'll Look Stunning?
An expert, guided process—start to finish. I believe that photography is about YOU. Not gear or technology.
Step I
- Let's get to know each other a bit and make sure I'm your person.
Step II
- We're going to meet, and we'll figure out everything from what to wear to having the right snacks. I'll get a good sense of your style and we'll make a fun plan for your shoot day.
Step III
- Whether it's just you, or you and loved ones... you can relax knowing that we are just following the plan and adapting as needed.
"I hate being photographed but I needed some professional photos. I wanted them to be approachable as well as usable for dating sites. I’d been getting interest from old guys in walkers, and I needed something different. I’m active and energetic, and wanted to meet men who can keep up with me. I told Christina all this and I felt like she took the time to really understand.
As nervous as I was, I felt taken care of every step of the way. Christina and her team are so fun and easy to be with! I love my photos and now my dating problem is that I’m getting hit on by these 30 year old kids! Christina is way too good!"
