Bio
An architect photographing architecture, a mother photographing children and families, a hiker photographing beautiful landscapes, and a gardener painting flowers.
I began my art career in a high school art class, painting a watercolor. That painting still hangs in my house. After obtaining my Bachelor of Architecture at Cal Poly SLO, I began to look at my landscape photos and think, “If the photograph is this good, why should I paint it?” After becoming a licensed architect in Nevada, I had children whom I photographed and realized that people will want photos like this of their kids, so I opened Creation Studio in 2005.
I love photographing children, they are so precious. I love to just follow them around and capture them where they are at for the moment they are with me. I also enjoy photographing families. One family chose a proof I would not have, but the mom stated, “That is such the personality of my family, I love it.” As an architect, I love to capture a building’s personality, even the more challenging ones. I once had an architect say, “I never knew my buildings looked so good.”
Life is full of precious fleeting moments, and I love to capture them with a camera.

HI Christy,
I got your contact info as a fellow member of PPA. I am looking for a photographer for Friday, Feb 14 in Reno between 8:30am-11:30am to cover a ribbon cutting and store opening. The scope is capturing the actual ribbon cutting of this new store and the events surrounding it. The rate is $50/hr and there is very little editing. It’s more like culling and adjusting anything like the exposure, temperature or similar. The only tricky part is that they need to be uploaded by 3pm. They use them for social media and so there is a time issue. This takes about an hour and is paid. Does this sound like something that might work for you? If not, do you have another photographer that you think might be interested?
You can always call me on my cell: 609-458-9690
Many thanks, Bridget
