My focus is on capturing both the guided moments and the candid in-betweens that make each session or wedding day feel truly personal. I’m here to lead you through the process with ease while preserving the moments that matter most, exactly as they unfold.

With over 8 years of experience, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients; newly engaged couples, young families, soon-to-be moms, and everything in between. 

Hi, I’m Cristina!

I'm a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Palm Beach, Florida,

Great photos start with you feeling relaxed and confident,

Which is why I focus on building a personal connection with every client, being attentive to your needs, and communicating effectively. You’ll never just feel like another session on my calendar; I want to be your cheerleader, an encourager, and most of all, someone who captures the warmth and love you share with one another.

preserving the moments you never want to forget

Photography allows us to hold onto what matters most. It’s not just about capturing a moment, but preserving the emotions, the laughter, and the connections that make life beautiful. When I got my first digital camera, documenting life’s fleeting moments became my passion. I treasure the photos I’ve taken throughout my own life, and now I’m here to offer others the same gift: timeless, high-quality memories to be cherished for generations. Each photograph I take is a way to help my clients hold onto the moments they never want to forget.

WHAT MATTERS MOST

Your moments deserve to be captured as they truly are, without over-editing or forcing a “perfect” look. Photographs should feel just like the moment that was captured; real and full of emotion, just as you experienced them.

Authenticity

I want you to feel comfortable and at ease during our time together. Building a personal connection allows me to capture your true essence and the genuine moments that make your story unique.

The goal is to create images that stand the test of time. You'll walk away with photos that feel like the moment and won't ever go out of style. 

Timelessness

Here are the values that guide my work and my connection with every client:

Every step of my process is designed to be seamless, with clear communication from securing your date to receiving your final gallery. You deserve a stress-free experience, where every detail is taken care of with ease and transparency.

Experience

The most genuine moments unfold when you feel comfortable in front of the lens. That’s why the goal is to create a relaxed, stress-free environment where you can truly be yourself. With gentle guidance and subtle prompts, you'll effortlessly embrace the moment and walk away with timeless photos that reflect who you are.


PHOTOS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL.

Maybe you can relate?

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at a local coffee shop, the beach, playing with my pup, spending time with family, or jamming to some good tunes! Other than that, my greatest joy comes from turning moments into photographic memories. After all, these photos are what we rely on to remember the past seasons of our precious lives!

Let's capture what matters most!
