Frequently Asked Questions
How long have you been a photographer?
People don’t believe me when I say twenty years, but I had an early start in the photography profession. I’ve worn many different hats over that time, from student to university lecturer, fine artist to portrait photographer, and many more! I fell in love with photography through darkroom classes in high school. My teacher made me promise her that I’d never stop taking photos, and I intend to uphold that promise! I assisted a wedding photographer as a third shooter in my high school and college years. Then I photographed about a dozen weddings together with my sister-in-law, the incredible Lisa Boggs of Lisa Boggs Photography, before I went off to pursue a Master of Fine Art degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. I've taught photography courses at universities in the Washington D.C. area, as well as in South Africa. After several years abroad, I returned to Northern Virginia in 2016, and launched Christin Photography, offering photography services to my community.
What do you love most about being a photographer?
The best thing about being a photographer is having the chance to meet new people and see new things every day! I am thankful that the camera opens up countless opportunities to learn about the incredible people and projects in my community.
What’s your favorite thing to photograph?
In terms of personal projects, my biggest passion in life is holistic health and sustainable food practices. Since 2009, I've photographed urban gardens and small farms in Upstate New York as a grad student in the MFA program at Rochester Institute of Technology; and abroad in Ireland through an Artist Residency with Cow House Studios; in Finland through a U.S. Student Fulbright Grant and in South Africa through a temporary residency. My husband and I run a health and fitness blog called Mountain Road.
