I Am Carissa Christine

I started shooting at 17 years old with an old Canon film camera. I went to technical school for photography and fell in love with film and developing it in the dark room. Inspired to take what I saw in film and mimic it with my digital camera I started shooting family and friends.

From there my little business grew. Before I knew it I quit my job and was spending my weekends shooting weddings, taking portraits in studio, on location or being on call to photograph births. My wonderful husband supporting and encouraging me from day one.

When our family began to grow, I knew it was time to pause my business. Babies don’t keep, and time is a thief. Now that my kids are older, I’m picking up my camera again, ready to return to what I love most:

"capturing joy, preserving fleeting moments, and turning them into memories that last a lifetime."

Let's Talk

"I strive for simplicity, joy, and an environment for people to open up to
me so I can capture the real and the raw of their season in life."

I’d like to tell you the weekend wasn’t long enough, but I feel like that is starting to sound repetitive around here…

Fireworks on the fourth. Over an hour of fireworks on the lake, the kids were thrilled! ✨

Lake reflections from this past weekend. 🔥
Rivers of iron and skimming rocks.
Fighting the Monday blues with the blue hues still lingering from a weekend on the water.
It feels like home.
Why must the weekend be over so soon?
The littlest got his own set of wheels. He’s over the moon. ☺️
River fishing.
A gift from my husband and kids, a day to myself while they work hard with dad. So I went to my favorite place, the tea shop.
Did I prompt them to hold hands you ask? No, they did it on their own accord. Walking through Target, hand in hand. The best…
I only post photos when the sun is out and the air is warm. This explains my lack of posts… it’s still too cold here.
I live for lazy Sundays… excited to finish reading my book today.
Tuesday is giving us all Monday vibes. I’m just not here for it.
Why must the sun hide behind the clouds so often here?
One week ago we were heading out for our last day on the gulf until the winter.
Every time I put a tank on a say a little prayer to see a turtle. This time was pretty amazing.
The oldest, and her photos from the underwater camera.
I spy three little snorklers. 🤿 “There’s a shark,” one says excitedly.
