Jersey Shore Family & Motherhood Photographer
Serving Monmouth County & beyond!
Well, Hello There!
Im so happy you found me! My name is Christie and I call The Jersey Shore (not that "Jersey Shore"!) home. I share my life with my hardworking, fishing loving, guitar playing husband, James and my Irish twin boys, who are 16 & 17, my tabby, Cliff and our newest addition, an adorable rescue dog, Bandit. It's a busy, crazy life that I wouldn't change.
In 2000, I lost my mom to brain cancer. I was in my 20s, way too young. During this time I realized there were almost no photographs of my mom and me. Once I had my own children, I understood how important photos were. In 2012, after Super Storm Sandy, I spoke to many of my clients who while evacuating their homes, grabbed their portraits off their walls. That was just a few months after I started my business, This is when I knew this was my calling. To preserve families memories.

I renovated a popup camper. I love it so much. We camp as much as possible!

I can't decide if Im a night owl or a early bird. Which leads to some very tired days.

I feel most at home in the woods. I love hiking and enjoying nature.

As of late, I have a semi addiction to True Crime Podcasts.

​I have a sarcastic sense of humor....like my dad.

I have nephews just a few years younger then me. I became a great aunt before I was a mother!

Which leads me to how I became a mother. I struggled with infertility for 5 years. And long story short, then had 2 babies within a year!

​More clients then I can count have become friends thru the years. I have photographed their engagements, weddings, babies and families. I am so blessed to be able to do what I am so passionate about.
