Documenting life with deep purpose because I know how fleeting time is
Hi, I'm Christine
I’m a mom to Luke—a wild, curious, amazing little guy— with baby number two on the way—and as I prepare to welcome this little one, I feel more deeply called to honor the time we have, through photographs that stick to the heart. I am wife to Jeff, my rock and biggest cheerleader through it all. When I’m not chasing after them, I’m usually wearing one of my other hats: pediatric cardiac intensive care nurse, cancer warrior, and, more recently, photographer.
Photography started for me at 13, when I got my first camera and began convincing my friends to model in awkward, giggly basement photo shoots. That playful curiosity never left—but it deepened into something sacred after Luke was born. I wanted to help moms like me hold on to moments that are so easy to miss when life is moving fast.
In 2016, my cancer diagnosis turned our world upside down. It changed everything about how I see time, memory, and what really matters. That journey—fueled by God’s grace and sustained through so many prayers—shaped how I show up behind the lens. I don’t take moments for granted anymore. And I don’t take your trust lightly either.
Today, I photograph families, maternity, newborn, and engagement sessions—and I also offer end-of-life photography for families walking through sacred, sorrowful goodbyes. These sessions are never shared publicly, but they matter more than I can explain. If this is something your family needs, I would be honored to serve you.
Having walked through cancer, PTSD, and the holy chaos of new motherhood, I know how precious—and how fleeting—the smallest moments are. So, thank you for being here. For considering me. For letting me tell part of your story.

“Motherhood made time feel faster—photography lets me slow it down. I started this business to help freeze the moments that mean everything.”
Why I see Time Differently
1990
📍 Born in Germany
Into a family where photos mattered. My mom made sure we had pictures—some in those awkward 90s studio settings, others staged at home with a self-timer. I didn’t know it then, but she was showing me how to treasure time.
2003
🎁 Got my first camera for my 13th birthday
Also the year we visited Canada for the first time. Seeds were planted for something bigger. Most of my early “sessions” involved awkward teenage model shoots in friends’ basements—complete with dramatic poses, harsh flash, and way too much lip gloss.
2008
✈️ Moved to Canada
At first I was resistant, but eventually I was ready for a new beginning. What felt like an ending became a turning point.
2010-2012
💍 From friendship to forever
I met Jeff in 2003 on our first visit to Canada—but we became best friends when I moved here in 2008. What started as friendship slowly grew into something more.
I wasn’t ready at first—I didn’t want to date unless I could see it truly leading somewhere. Jeff was steady and kind while I figured that out.
When I finally said yes, I meant it. We got engaged three months later and married the next year.
God’s timing, not mine.
2013
🎓 Finished nursing school
& started in pediatric cardiac
Working at the Stollery was like a dream come true. It was also the year strange symptoms began. No answers yet—just quiet discomfort.
📝 What I Didn’t Know Was Coming
2016
🩺 Diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer
A rare, chronic kind. It rerouted everything—and grounded me in grace like never before. That chapter made me less willing to watch moments pass me by.

2018
👶 Photographed my nephew as a newborn
Casual, simple… and unforgettable. The calling began to form. It was hurriedly set up, it was a lot of trial and error, but we ended up with some great shots.
📝 “The first - the newborn who started it all”
2019
🕊 Witnessed sacred end-of-life photography
A family brought in a photographer after their child passed in the ICU. It was one of the most profound moments of my career. That seed—planted in grief—birthed a deeper purpose.📝 “Where My Passion for Sacred Sessions Began”
2020
🌿 Pregnancy during the pandemic
Modified bedrest. A lot of alone time. A lot of prayer. A lot of crocheting. A lot of couch time. A lot of TV.
📝 “Pregnancy, Isolation, and Quiet Trust"
September 2020
👶 Luke was born
Everything sped up. Photography became my way to slow it down. How could I not want to eternalize all of these little moments.

2021-2023
📸 Offered my first sessions publicly
Started with fall minis. Then came newborns, cake smashes, returning clients, and the start of something real.

2024
🎉 My busiest year yet
Mother’s Day, cherry blossoms, sunflowers, fall minis, Christmas. More returning clients. More joy.
2025
💛 A new kind of slowing down
Diagnosed with PTSD. Pregnant with baby number two. This season looks different—but even here, I see God’s faithfulness. And I still believe in telling stories worth remembering.
P.S. If you read all the way down here—hi, we’re probably already friends.
Thank you for being here. If you’re expecting or embracing a fresh season, I’d be honored to walk the journey together. If this is not the season of life you are in, your season still deserves to be put to memory. I would love to be a part of your story
