Creating beautiful images and connecting with people fuels my soul. Incorporating film photography into my creative process is essential as I initially learned to shoot and develop film in a dark room over a decade ago. I enjoy any opportunity to travel, meet new people and create new art with my lens. I strive to bring joy, warmth, imagination and a fresh perspective to each photoshoot.
I am excited to connect with you!

Her presence added peace and joy to our wedding day experience and we could not be happier with the final product of her work!”

"When I first saw Christina’s photography, it captured my heart in an instant. I felt drawn to how her photos felt raw, as life truly is, but with the most beautiful parts highlighted effortlessly. That spark of light and magic carried through when speaking with Christina for the planning of our family shoot. She has a soul that radiates warmth and light, that is genuine and rare to find. When working with her on the day of, she helped make our family feel seen and comfortable, especially when getting pictures taken as a family can usually feel anything but. We met Christina for our family photos, but what we took away was much greater than a simple picture for a holiday card. We were able to be reminded of how important each moment in life is and how we can spread that kindness to everyone we meet throughout our busy days.
Christina is professional, intelligent, and has incredible talent for bringing out the beauty and hope in this world. She is patient, helpful to direct, energetic to help ease our nerves, and effortless. We cannot wait to see all of the lives she touches and all of the successes to come her way - because just as the waves will forever wash upon the shore, Christina Cernik’s light is destined to touch the world."
