About Christina ...
Photographer, Webmaster/Designer
Bio
Christina currently spends her days working in the
criminal justice system, so photography and web design
are two of the ways she de-stresses after hours.
She previously worked in higher education, where, among
many other job duties, she developed and maintained a
departmental website and edited web pages for another
department at one institution. Educationally, Christina
holds a BBA in Finance and a MS in Criminal Justice.
While teaching in the community college classroom is her
ultimate career goal, photography, web design, and
travel are her primary passions.
Christina's only formal education in photography was a
high school photography fundamentals class in the spring
of 1996, where she learned how to use a film SLR,
develop and process black and white film, and print
photographs. She also contributed photos to her high
school yearbook for both track and cross country.
Since high school, she has contributed photos to several
online communities and has developed and hosts a
personal photoblog and a photojournal of her past
travels. In addition, she has previously hosted and designed two
personal weblogs for two close friends and currently provides
hosting services for another personal / fanfiction
website for another friend. In her spare time, she has taught herself -- through
plenty of trial and error -- the fundamentals of web
design and photo editing, as well as constantly improving her
photographic skills.

In my own
words...
Photography has interested me off and on for as long as
I can remember back. Starting with a 110 camera in
elementary school and progressing steadily more advanced
over the years, I've grown to enjoy capturing moments on
film and now in digital format. Just about wherever I
go, a camera (or two or more!) are in tow, because I'd
be crazy not to document it all!
I’m an overachieving,
detail-oriented classic
only/oldest child — and that’s
the service I provide to you. I
don’t give you half my time, I
give you all of it when you
choose me as your photographer.
I want you to be wowed and
amazed when you see the final
images. I give you what I would
expect from any photographer I
would commission for portraits or an event,
nothing less.
Just a few facts about me:
Female. Late twenties. Finished graduate school in
2006. Single. Texan. American. Christian. Dog
lover. Loves cats too. Bookworm. Dork. Wordy. Farm
girl. Longhorn Fan. Bit of a computer geek. Gradually
becoming more a photo geek. Writer of lots of letters to
pals worldwide. Bitten by the travel bug with a passport
that seriously needs to be put to use some more before
it expires. Addicted to postcard collecting. Also
addicted to chocolate and Dr Pepper. Loves strawberry
cheesecake and homemade sweetened iced
tea. Subscribes to travel magazines like crazy. Listens
to country, alternative, and oldies/classic rock.

myself in the third person, that is? Read my
