Meet Christina

 

Hi! I'm Christina, the person behind the lens and owner of CMP!

I became a professional photographer in 2009, when my lifelong hobby forayed into a business. As a child, I used to pretend to develop photos, using magazine pictures, and I would spend hours browsing through our family photo albums.

My photography style is clean, true-to-life, and classic. I specialize in capturing milestone moments, and it's a privilege to help my clients freeze time and preserve their memories in print. 
I'd love to talk with you to see if I'm the right photographer for you!

  • I love to cook, and rarely use recipes, except when I am baking.
  • My family and I love to play board and card games like Ticket to Ride, Yahtzee, Sequence, Uno, Gin Rummy, or Euchre!
  • I absolutely love trivia, and I auditioned for Jeopardy® in the early 2000s!

Christina is a member of the Brighton Light House Community, which includes All-Heart Garage (located in the Heartmonics Building). Both offer controlled indoor shooting environments, which come in handy when the weather in Michigan is less than favorable. Additionally, these locations feature beautiful outdoor landscapes ideal for themed mini-sessions and outdoor shoots. 

For newborn sessions, they are typically scheduled for the morning. Parents have the option of having the session at their own home or in Brighton, MI. If they opt to have the session in Brighton, they can enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, snacks or simply relax while their newborn is being photographed. 

Christina has a vast collection of wraps, headbands, hats, and other props to choose from for the newborn shoots. Siblings are always welcome to attend the session, and toys, coloring books, and puzzles are available for them to use while they wait for their turn to be photographed.
