YOUR PHOToGRAPHER FOR Mammoth, Bishop, Lone Pine + Beyond
I’m Christie and I am here for your adventure in California’s Eastern Sierra Mountains!
Whether you want to have an epic adventure elopement, take engagement pictures by a lake, or a unique family session, I am here for it! I believe in documenting the smallest of moments but also those big, monumental ones too. I believe in intentionality which means helping you create images that are authentic to you. So whatever your adventure looks like, I want to be the one to make that memory last.
Specializing in elopements and lifestyle based sessions, I only photograph the things that make me happy. Selfish? Bad business? Maybe. But if I feel connected to what I am working on, that means you will feel that connection when you see those final images. And that is my goal for each and every one of you.

Why should we elope in the Eastern Sierra?
It’s no secret that California has some of the most diverse and epic landscapes in the country, making it the perfect spot for adventure elopements. But did you know that the Eastern Sierra Nevada range has hundreds of miles of unspoiled landscape with only a fraction of the visitors that its western counterpart gets? This makes California’s Eastern Sierra the perfect place to elope if you are looking for solitude and incredible scenery. So whether you want alpine lakes, jagged mountain vistas, or vast meadows, there is sure to be a place for your special day in this unique and underrated place!
What the heck is a lifestyle PhoTographer?
Someone who tends to stay away from your typical everyone-look-at-the-camera-and-smile photos during a session. Someone who focuses on storytelling, regardless of whether that story is about your family's newest addition, your engagement to the person you call your soulmate, or even a long-awaited graduation. All of these have a story behind them and as a lifestyle photographer, I am here to do that for you. Part of this process involves getting to know you, your partner, your family, your goals, and your dreams. I learn about your interests and passions which help guide me in giving you recommendations for where to have your session. So whether that is outdoors because it brings you peace or in your house because you can't imagine a better place to cuddle up, I have got you covered. Because your story deserves its time in the spotlight---so let's get to it!
Oh, and don't worry, we'll get one "say cheese" photo for the grandparents, I promise!
YOUR LOVE SToRY IS IMPORTANT
Whether we're talking romantic love or the love you have for your family, all love deserves to be documented. Those little moments, the ones you breathe in deeply. The touching of fingertips or the smell of your newborn's hair. These are the things I love capturing. The truly authentic, in the moment, details. So if you are ready to soak in the small moments with your children or make that commitment to your significant other, let's make sure those memories never fade.
