My perspective on photography began long before it became my profession. I grew up studying the albums my grandparents and parents created, watching their lives unfold through images over time. Love wasn’t captured once, it was documented in seasons.

That perspective shapes how I approach my work today. Whether I’m photographing a wedding or a growing family, I do so with the understanding that these images are part of something ongoing. They are meant to be revisited, shared, and passed down. It’s an honor to help document that for you.

I grew up in Maryland and, after years of travel, found my way back to the place that first shaped me. When I’m not photographing, you’ll likely find me with my husband Ryan, Son Sammy, and  husky/lab, Salem, or planning our next trip.

As an artist, I’m drawn to the balance of refined imagery and real connection, where every detail supports a larger story.

I’m Christine, a Maryland-based wedding and family photographer serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and the greater East Coast. For over a decade, I’ve documented weddings and families with a focus on creating images that feel as meaningful as they look, balancing refined portraiture with honest, unscripted moments.

I’ll guide you when it matters, step back when it doesn’t, and shape a rhythm that allows your day to unfold naturally while still being thoughtfully documented. My clients value not just how their images look, but how the experience feels,

As a top Maryland wedding and family photographer, I regularly travel across the East Coast. While I’m drawn to warmer destinations, New England holds a special place in my heart.

 believe images shape how we remember our lives. They hold the feeling of a moment, not just the way it looked, but how it unfolded, who was there, and what it meant. These are the photographs that become part of your family’s story, carried forward and revisited for decades and generations to come.

A dream photographer takes amazing pictures, but also has a wealth of knowledge to ensure you look effortlessly cool in said pictures, the ability to help the other stressors of the day melt away, and a personality that you want to hang around all day on your big day!! Christine has all of this and more. She made us look effortlessly cool, talked through our schedule in details ahead of time so that there is no need to stress, and she keeps everything light and fun the entire day!

Christine's images capture moments, memories, and emotions so thoroughly that it is impossible to stop scrolling.

When I was looking for a photographer and was recommended Christine by a friend. I am soooo glad I did!! I was LOST in this process and she was not only a photographer she helped me plan. She gave me a timeline and helped me with recommendations. Her pictures are amazing and she really listens to you. I hired her again for our holiday shoot. To any engaged couples, I always recommend her. She is worth every penny.

I was LOST in this process and she was not only a photographer- she helped me plan.

Christine not only demonstrated an ability to craft beautiful photos by combining her attention to detail and knack for ensuring she got both candid and staged images, she made us feel like we could be ourselves.

my favorites

Both sets of my grandparents were madly in love; they left a LEGACY of LOVE that my parents followed, and that I too have followed (Ryan proposed with my great-grandmothers diamond). 

I grew up admiring my grandparents wedding photos, even more so when they passed. It wasn't until my paternal grandfather passed away and we boxes of images that I realized how much he also enjoyed photography.
Ever since the early 1950s, he had a camera and adored taking photos of his family. Through his eyes I saw a side of them I never knew. Young, in love, rolling on the living room floor- even my father didn't recognize them. He knew his father as a hard working, serious business owner who had fled his homeland after WWII. In his photos though, we saw  a young man who loved a party with his brothers and adored his wife and making repairs on the house (his way-regardless of the "right" way to do anything).

Photos preserve our love so that those who come after us can see how much we loved  and were loved.
