Hi! I’m Christina! I was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest. I love everything about this part of the country – from the gorgeous rural communities all the way to the baseball capital of the world. I was lucky enough to meet the love of my life, Chris, at age 16 and we have been together ever since. He is also my second shooter at weddings and comes along to sessions from time to time. We have a handsome Australian Shepherd named Oskar who is our four-legged child. We travel any chance we get – and are always up to traveling for work! I am also a devoted Apple and Canon user – loyal to the core!

My background started in Graphic Design where I put words and images together to create a piece that people were able to touch and feel. While I was in school I fell in love with photography. I kept it only as a hobby at first, then in 2010 I decided to take a chance. I learned that in order to be happy in life we stometimes need to get scared. I quit my cozy job and started Charisma Photography full time – and I have never looked back!

Photographs provide a tangible record of a family’s history and the passage of time. They allow you to relive and share the special moments, milestones, and experiences in a family’s life – and that is may aim with all of my work.
