Hello, I am Christen.

I've been capturing meaningful moments through my lens since the sixth grade—and I've loved every minute of it. Today, as a Lifestyle Photographer based in the Los Angeles area, I specialize in documenting genuine, candid moments that reflect the beauty of everyday life.

My work takes me all across Southern California, including Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach, San Pedro, Palos Verdes, The Valley, Castaic, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita, Saugus, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. Whether it's a golden-hour family session on the beach or an intimate in-home shoot, I'm always on the move—ready to tell your story in the most authentic way possible.

My Philosophy

When I first started this business, I made a promise to myself: to provide my clients with beautiful, artistic images of the people they love most. Over the years, that promise has evolved into a clear creative vision—one rooted in authenticity, emotion, and meaning.

I’ve developed a distinct photographic style that captures real connection and natural beauty, steering away from the cookie-cutter approach you often see in chain studios. Every portrait I create is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the unique spirit of each family, moment, and milestone.

My work often lives on as timeless wall art or custom-designed albums—heirlooms that tell a story for generations. One of the greatest joys of my career is the lasting relationships I’ve built with my clients. I've had the privilege of watching their children grow from newborns to toddlers, teens, and young adults.

It’s an honor to be invited into people’s lives in such a meaningful way—and I truly couldn’t ask for a more fulfilling profession.
