About Me

Hi, I'm Christy! My love of photography began when I was just in elementary school, I still have my first camera back from Kindergarten! By high school I was eager to enhance my knowledge and skills in photography. When I was 16 I had the opportunity to be dual enrolled in college while still attending high school. My college courses enabled me to broaden my knowledge of photography and put my skills to the test. After my second photography class I was able to enter several of my pieces in my college’s annual juried show. With the exception of one, all of my entries won awards; some were even purchased for FCCJ’s permanent collection. I started working at a portrait studio when I was 18 and worked my way up in the company from a seasonal photographer to Senior Manager. I am now 21 years old and trying share my love for photography and deliver memories for a lifetime through my lens.

Gavan Teaser



A day spent in St.Augustine with Stephanie and Gavan! I did Gavan's first birthday pictures last year and was so happy to get the chance to take his birthday pictures again this year!








Gavan was wiped out of a long day of being a model in the hot sun!

My trip from Texas to Georgia


At the end of July I flew out to Texas to see my boyfriend Jon who had just come back from 15 months in Iraq. From Texas we started on a trip to Georgia, passing through Arkansas, spending the night in Memphis Tennesee, and finally ending up in Cherry Log, Georgia. Here are a few of the many pitures that were taken, from state signs to random little things around the cabin.


The first of serveral state signs

My attempt at getting the Tennessee sign at night going 70 MPH
...it was beautiful going over the Mississippi River though.

Welcome to Georgia!
After driving in to Georgia a few miles later you end up back in Tennessee!
(it worked out seeing my first attempt at TN didn't work so well!)

Sneak Peek at the Asbury Wedding!

The Winterborne Inn, a beautiful location on a beautiful day.



A butterfly hanging around in the gardens before the wedding. In Greek myth, Psyche (which literally translates to mean “soul”) is represented in the form of a butterfly. Befittingly, Psyche is forever linked with love as she and Eros (the Greek god of love, also known in Roman myth as Cupid) shared an endlessly passionate bond together – both hopelessly in love with the other.
I
n the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss.

Best friend/ fellow photographer: Alexis Carter...Major thanks to her for giving me the oppurtunity to help her shoot this beautiful wedding!

Diamonds are a girls best friend, but pearls will do!


A special shoot with my niece Audrey to start my blog. I've had this in mind forever and I finally got it done. It didn't come out quite how I hoped, I think I may shoot it again but with a lot more pearls next time!
