Hello there and welcome
My name is Christine and I am so glad you’re here!
I am located in Kitchener ON, a Waterloo/Wellington Region based photographer specializing in family and portrait photography.
I want to create images that capture you and share your unique story.
About the photographer
Hi, I'm Christine!
I love my family and coffee!
I'm proud and lucky to be a mom, although sometimes I think I've got this and other days that I'm doing it all wrong.
My dream job is photography. If I won the lottery (I'd have to play first lol) I would still be a photographer.
I enjoy being with people, the technical side, I love editing and that feeling of capturing something so important. I honestly wouldn't survive life without people around me.
I'll do anything goofy to get the shot, mostly when kids and pets are involved - I promise.
When I'm not out taking photos, my heart is happiest at home.
I have two large puppies, we love playing in the yard and of course they love being product photography models for me too. Although if you ask them, I'm not sure they would give you the same answer!
I really enjoy making things, crocheting, knitting, painting and simple fixer upper projects at home.
I fell in love with photography as child. I always flipped through family photo albums, and old photos still melt my heart. I was the one documenting Christmas, baby showers and birthdays. I switched from film to a digital camera about 12 years ago.
In my 20's I took a darkroom developing class and I loved using a grainy black and white film. I still love converting lots of shots into black and white.
Photography is more than a job to me. It’s my passion.
I want to give every family images to cherish for a lifetime, and may we never forget how small they started out. Pet parents are included in this too! My goal is to capture your true personality and/or your family connection because memories fade and a picture is worth a thousand words.
I have gained so many new friends through my photography career, some of my best work is made through those connections.
Thank you.
If there is anything else you would to know or if you would like to book a session, just send me a message.

Session Info
You want to book a session, what's next?
Send me an email in the contact section. Let me know the type of session you are interested in. In the message box let me know your availability, we can work out a few of the details like times, dates, location, gorgeous light and style. I always dream of golden hour outdoor sessions, other times are fine though too. We can pick a spot that is meaningful to your family. If we are doing an indoor session, I have a few extra questions and tips for you regarding natural light and backgrounds.
On your session day, plan on being ready 5-10 minutes before your start time. There are always a few things to take care of before we start.
If you have booked a newborn lifestyle session, they are typically scheduled in the morning and it's a little more relaxed as baby's have their own schedules. We will talk about before our photo day.
What to expect after your session?
There are two types of galleries.
1. Proofing galleries (studio sessions, headshots, mini sessions and branding packages) are sent out next day, you pick your images, I edit and send them to you in another password protected gallery within two weeks of your final picks.
2. If you have purchased an all digital files package to start with, your gallery will be sent out within two weeks of our session date with all the high resolution digital files included.
Client Testimonial
My husband and I met Christine in 2016 when she was the photographer for our wedding and we have been working with her ever since. She shot our maternity and newborn photos, and we have visited Christine in her studio many times to capture important milestones for our daughter, like her first Christmas and birthday. Christine is always professional and patient and creates a calm and relaxing environment. We never feel pressured to get the photoshoot over with and when our little girl wasn’t quite ready to have her photo taken, Christine took the time to make her feel comfortable and only started shooting again once our daughter was ready. Christine is also great at editing and her final images are always beautiful. We are thankful to have found Christine and hope to work with her for many years to come!

Client Testimonial
"I've used Christine for many of our special life moments, and every single time I get my photos back, I am over the moon. She continues to amaze me with how she captures photos and gets them just right. She makes the whole process comfortable and stress free, which you can tell comes through in her pictures. She has an easy-going nature and truly loves what she does. I can't thank her enough for the incredible work over the years and highly I recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer."
