Hey beautiful,

I'm Christie.

Nice to meet you. I tell stories with love & light I love God, my family and documenting the everyday simple moments.

All things motherhood hold my heart. I find joy in simple pleasures like thrift-ing for hidden treasures, crafting with my hands, creating art, and dreaming of new places to explore. Jesus is first, always.
Kindness wins, every time.
Photography is the heart and soul of my life, and after more than twenty-five years behind the lens, I still wake up loving what I do.
I began my photography journey over two decades ago, and I feel most at home, with a camera in hand.
Devoted Fuji girl—its color science speaks my language and cannot be matched!

Christie took our wedding photos. I was nervous because we were coming from out of state and eloping. They turned out fantastic!
