The photoshoot with Cristina was life-changing! I felt like the goddess self that I only dream of being — because of Cristina’s presence and photographic gaze. She is beyond supportive — she makes you feel divine and beautiful during the actual shoot — even before you see the amazing photos! After a few difficult years for me, health wise, where I was struggling with some anxiety issues, this photoshoot was better than therapy — it was a healing somatic experience in itself. I felt transformed by the day we had together! I think anyone who goes into a shoot with Cristina should do so with the intention to be fully present, to be free to be led by her into a version of you that you forgot about! And the photos were incredible, I wanted them all!! They connect me to the magic of that day every time I use them. Thank you so much, Cristina, for your vision, your love, your guidance, your gentle support & your beautiful work. You helped me find myself again after years of hiding. 🤍

For generations,
We were told what to do:
How to sit
How to smile
How to cover out bodies
Our body is governed by so many rules, set in place to control us. How we look, how we show up in the world, how we are, it’s all controlled by patriarchy.
I would like to live in a world where women do not have to see their bodies as a reason to hide away.
Where women do not have to cover their bodies and faces for their safety.
A world where we are free to show up in the world the way we want, without the fear of being stigmatised for it
“When you are in an environment where you get accepted for who you are and you feel safe to express your inner self, then you drop your mask and start focusing on your true purpose.” Lisa Renander
I would like to live in a world where every body is seen as beautiful.
You are perfectly fine the way you are
Be your most feminine
What if there’s a way to own your femininity and your gifts that have been given to you in this world
Give your body a voice
And live vicariously through you and your own feelings
Every day

My name is Cristina and I am a portrait photographer. I’ve learned through the years that photographing the lives and hearts of women runs so much deeper than just getting your picture taken. It’s an emotional experience, one that exposes vulnerabilities, but all the while empowers and uplifts. It’s an experience I want every women to have. One where she realises her beauty is unmistakable and the role that she plays in this world is both irreplaceable and imperative. My promise to you is that once you step in front of my camera, this will happen. And it’s an experience you won’t forget.
I look forward to seeing you in my studio.
Yours truly,
