Hey, I’m Cristy!

I’m originally from Ojai, CA, but moved to Montana in 2017. I’m based in Missoula, obsessed with the mountains, and always down to travel somewhere new.

When I’m not taking photos, you’ll probably find me at a concert screaming the lyrics, reading romance novels, thrifting for things I definitely don’t need, or randomly driving somewhere just because.

In 2023, I attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography’s Professional Intensive Program, spending 10 weeks diving headfirst into all things photography.

My goal is simple: make you feel comfortable, have a damn good time, and take photos that feel like you. I’ll hype you up, fix your dress, tell you when you have something in your teeth, and be your right-hand lady through it all.

Basically, I’m your photographer + hype girl + adventure buddy all in one. ♡

Are we a good fit?

My goal? To make you feel like your authentic self during our shoot. No awkward poses or uncomfortable moments here. It’s my job to guide you through the process, so it feels more like hanging out with a friend than a formal session. Don’t even worry about posing for a second because that’s my job, I got you. : )

If you’re looking for a photographer that will photoshop you or change your body in any way that’s not me. I love you for you.

Don't be afraid to be yourself in front of the camera. Embrace your quirks, your laughter, and your individuality. Im all for the giggles and spontaneous butt grabs.

It's the candid authentic moments that make the perfect shot.

If you’re down to road trip to find a beautiful mountain top, or wake up at the crack of dawn to catch the sunrise, Im the one for you.

Let's create something beautiful together.

Lets do this thing!
