I’m a five-foot tall shot of fireball still in the phase they said I’d grow out of, and sound way more serious online than I am in person.

I have three cats, 15 tattoos, a crazy teenager named James, and a Dr. Pepper addiction. I'm a poet, writer, musician, and designer in my free time.

My own love story allows me to connect deeply to my client's stories. My husband makes every part of life better. You may get lucky and meet him!

my life
Sacred days these are. 
to be a witness of human experience
is to shout "I lived"

My inspiration

Drawn to the depth of it all, I approach every client session with intention, emotional awareness, and a deep respect for the human experience. The temporary nature of time defines my work and my purpose. All we carry forward are the memories, stories, and images that hold it all together.

The temporary nature of time defines my work. All we carry forward are the memories, stories, and images that hold it all together.

The connections I build, both in my life and in my work, are rooted in inclusion. Being welcomed into someone’s safe space is a privilege I don’t take lightly. I’m committed to creating and protecting environments where my LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients feel secure, seen, and respected. It's an honor to witness the full intensity and honesty of their stories.

I’m highly aware, capturing moments quickly and quietly, so you can stay grounded in the present moment.

You won't miss what matters most, because I can anticipate moments before they happen very well.

I thrive under high-pressure, so if the unexpected happens, I handle it with calm clarity so you don't have to.

You will feel seen, understood, and supported due to my ability to anticipate unspoken needs.

I'm trauma informed, which means I meet you with respect and emotional awareness exactly where you are.

"What makes you different from other photographers?"

“I have worked with Christie many times over the last few years and there’s a reason I consistently go back to her and not someone else. She’s not only a phenomenally talented photographer, she’s a wonderful person and has a fabulous personality. She makes you instantly comfortable and she’s so invested and genuinely excited about each experience. You will be her priority and you’ll know it. Her photography skills and her ability to capture pure, genuine moments is unreal. You won’t be sorry! I recommend her to people constantly and not one person has ever been disappointed.”

“I am in LOVE with every single photo I’ve ever gotten from Christie! I’ve done two photoshoots with her, one last year for my two year wedding anniversary, and one this year because fall is beautiful and you can never have too many photos! She is constantly growing and improving her craft, and it shows!!! She made my husband and I feel comfortable, and even got our dogs to pose perfectly! She was timely and extremely professional. She’s a joy to work with!! I can’t stop printing her photos and hanging them all over my home! You will not regret it!”

“I absolutely loved our engagement session with Christie Q while visiting family. She’s an amazing photographer and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. I let her know ahead of time what exactly I wanted and what I didn’t want as far as location and she picked a fantastic spot for us as we are from Florida and don’t know the area well. She got multiple different angles and really made me feel confident in front of the camera which isn’t easy for me. She made sure before we left that we had a good variety of shots and asked if there was anything specific we wanted which was amazing as I did recall a photo I’ve been swooning over from Pinterest. She not only made it happen but she put her own spin on it and it’s now hanging up above our bed. Worth EVERY penny! Highly recommend.”
