Events don't wait for everyone to be ready.
I’ll be there for the big moments, the little ones, and everything happening in between - the speaker who gets the room laughing, the applause that goes on a little longer than expected, the quick conversation in the hallway, the packed dance floor.
You shouldn’t have to spend your event wondering whether the important moments are being captured. You get to enjoy the people, the energy, and the reason you brought everyone together.
YOU ENJOY THE EVENT. I’LL WATCH FOR THE GOOD STUFF.
The moments you didn't see coming are usually the ones you'll remember.
Events have a rhythm. There’s the planned stuff, the transitions, the conversations happening around the edges, and all those little shifts that happen when people stop thinking about the camera.
I’ll move through it all quietly, paying attention to what’s unfolding - genuine interactions, interesting details, big reactions, and the moments that tell the story of what it actually felt like to be there.
THE PEOPLE. THE ENERGY. THE WHOLE STORY.
The room will empty. The stories won't.
You spend months creating something that lasts a few hours. The room you spent months planning. The people who showed up. The ridiculous little details you almost forgot to photograph. The energy that existed for a few hours and then disappeared.
Photographs give you a way back into it.
Not just what happened, but who was there, what it felt like, and all the little pieces that made this particular event yours.
BECAUSE GOOD EVENTS GO BY WAY TOO FAST.

We’ll talk about your event, what’s happening, who will be there, and what you most want captured. I’ll get a feel for the day so I know where to be, what matters most, and how to photograph it without getting in the way.
We’ll talk through the schedule, location, timing, and any moments you definitely don't want missed. If there are speakers, presentations, performances, awards, group photographs, or other important pieces of the day, we'll make sure I know about them ahead of time.
This is where I do my thing. I’ll photograph the big moments, the people experiencing them, and everything happening around the edges - without asking everyone to stop what they're doing and pose for me.
Your finished gallery arrives after the event, filled with the photographs that tell the story of the day - the people, the energy, the details, and the moments you may not have seen yourself.
Photos that earn their keep.
Event coverage is $325 per hour, with a two-hour minimum.
That includes photography throughout your event, a curated online gallery of finished images, and high-resolution digital files you can download, share, print, and use wherever you need them.
Need more coverage? Half-day, full-day, and custom rates are available depending on your event and what you're planning.
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I’LL MAKE SURE IT’S REMEMBERED.
A little less "say cheese."
A lot more being yourselves.
Hi, I’m Christine.
I know family photos can sometimes feel like one more thing to coordinate - the outfits, the schedules, the kids, and the hope that everyone is in a reasonably good mood at the same time.
My job isn't to make your family perform for the camera. It's to give you a little room to settle in, connect, and be yourselves. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when the good stuff is happening, and capture the moments that feel most like you.
