About Me

Hello, my name is Christine, and I’m the owner and photographer of Christine Alva Photography. For the past 13 incredible years, I’ve been married to my best friend, and together, we’re raising two adventurous, energetic, and wildly creative boys who make life as exciting as it is full of laughter. My family has been my greatest inspiration, playing a major role in my journey as a photographer.

My love for photography began in high school, where I discovered the magic of capturing moments in my first digital photography course. While I pursued a college degree after graduation, it wasn’t until I became a mom in 2013 that my passion for photography truly came to life. I wanted to preserve every fleeting moment of my sons’ milestones and quickly fell in love with the art of storytelling through my lens.

Sharing these cherished memories on social media brought overwhelming support and encouragement from family and friends. My husband and parents believed in me long before I believed in myself, urging me to turn my talent into something greater. What started as simple snapshots of loved ones evolved into a calling—helping clients feel seen, celebrated, and deeply valued. Through photography, I’ve learned the power of giving hope and joy, and I strive to create timeless memories that clients can treasure forever.

Photography is more than just a profession for me; it’s my heart’s passion. Every session is a chance to tell a unique story and capture the beauty of life’s most meaningful moments. Clients often say I’m patient, caring, and refreshingly nonjudgmental, and I aim to make every person who steps in front of my lens feel comfortable, valued, and seen.

My mission goes beyond taking pictures—it’s about spreading joy, crafting memories, and giving hope. I look forward to connecting with you and helping you celebrate the moments that matter most.
