Christina Chavez Photography

I'm just a small town gal that says "ya'll", trying to make big dreams happen. I also have four young children and a husband, so yes, BUSY life!

My interest in photography truly sparked when I took a photography class in my senior year of high school. I loved the art of it, the way I could capture anything I wanted.

Not until the birth of my first son seven years ago, did my photography really take off. My sister one day told me, "Chris, you're really good at taking pictures! You should do photo shoots."

Needless to say, I started from the bottom like everyone else. I started with a little Canon camera, one of the ones you can fit in a small purse, you know, that doesn't cost hardly anything. I bought it at Walmart during a Thanksgiving sale. Ha! Oh...the "cheap camera" days. The camera I have now is just a "TAD" more expensive to say the least....I'll just leave it at that. But after gradually upgrading throughout the years, I deserved the Canon I have now and I'm proud of it! Yes sir! She's a beauty.

Years later, I have taught myself everything I know. When I say taught, I literally mean like college student status. I've spent hours reading books, watching videos and tutorials, reading reviews, even taking notes like a real college student! There's so much to learn about photography and how to master it and I'll always embrace learning.

So here I am, capturing precious memories for you all and hoping to work with more of you. The real smiles, the moments when it seems my clients aren't even noticing I'm there snapping away....those are the photos I live for! The natural beauty of life! Life is beautiful. What better way to remember it than through a photo?

And......that's me. For short, you can call me Christina Q.
