Hey You!

My name is Cristen, and I am a wife, mother, artist, plant lover, and photographer based in Southern Oregon. I find beauty in the little moments—the way light filters through the trees, the laughter shared between loved ones, and the quiet, fleeting expressions that tell a deeper story. Southern Oregon is my home, and its wild landscapes, from wide open fields to the dense evergreens of the PNW, deeply inspire my work.

My love for documenting my own family is what led me to capture others in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. When I look back at the images I cherish most, they are the unscripted ones—the uncontrollable laughter, the scraped knees, the way my husband looks at me when I’m caring for our daughter. These moments are the essence of our human experience, and it is an honor to preserve them for others.

Beyond photography, creativity is woven into everything I do. Whether through my art, my connection to nature, or the way I hold space for those I work with, I am always drawn to the deeper layers of a story. If you feel called to create something meaningful together, I’d love to connect and craft a collection of images that will be treasured for generations.
