Take a look around and see just some of the memories I have captured over the years since I started down this road in 2010. If you are looking to document your newborn baby, your family or you are newly engaged and looking for a wedding photographer, you will find some of my favorite images in my portfolio section.
My goal once you receive your images is to give you a gift that you can look back on for years to come and to share with others. Your experience working with me is more than just photos. I will put you at ease and let you be yourself while providing artistic direction to capture the memories you will cherish.

Services
When you choose to book with me, you receive a photographer who takes their time with you. We will have a fun and relaxing session where we get to know each other. If we are having an engagement session, I figure out what makes the two you who you are as a couple and we build on that. That then turns into us having a great working relationship on your wedding day.
Christina was absolutely amazing. We got to know her at the Hermann Wedding Trail events and looked forward to our Engagement Session and Wedding with her as our photographer. From the second we met her, we felt comfortable and could be ourselves around her. On the Wedding Day, when I got nervous about anything she kept me calm, and treated me like I was a good friend.
Additional time is available al la carte. Travel time is included in the package price for most anywhere in the Greater St. Louis area west of the Mississippi including the Washington and Hermann areas. My portraiture session is for capturing your real life events and milestones in a unique and artistic way which shows the reflection of who you are in that time in your life.

Christina was such a delight to work with! She took all of my family’s ideas and she made them come to life. She had my son giggling the whole session and truly captured the love. Christina also contacted me back the same day as my initial inquiry and had my photos ready in what seems like record time. This was an amazing experience all around and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting photos!

Charisma did an outstanding job for our June 2019 wedding! From the very beginning we knew Christina was right for the job. We met with her prior to signing the contract, and she was sure to go over every single detail and answered any question we had. After signing the contract, we picked a day for engagement pictures and Christina offered multiple different locations of great spots to take photos. It was so much fun getting to know her during our session and we enjoyed those couple hours! The turn around time for receiving our engagement photos was extremely quick and they turned out great!

Words cannot describe the magic that Christina and Chris were able to capture through my engagement and wedding! Christina worked with us through scheduling issues, was able to make a freezing cold engagment shoot easy and fun while keeping it short ;). The memories she was able to capture for me from the wedding are beyond what I could've hoped for! I can quit looking at them and plan to print them all! So many candid of family and friend in their utmost finest moment that I will cherish for a life time. I cannot thank these two enough and cannot wait to have them capture my families future moments

Christina is a dream to work with! I would recommend her to anyone. We used her for our wedding package and I just first want to say how affordable her all inclusive package is compared to other photographers. She is very experienced, professional, and knowledgeable. She helped guide us through the structure of our wedding day (which I didn't even realize I would need so much help with!) and she made it so personal. I plan to use Charisma Photography for family photos in the future! Thank you so much Christina!

Hands down the best photographer. Christina did an awesome job with our engagement photos and even a better job with our wedding. And i can't forget her husband, Chris, who was also awesome to work with. Made these photos forever. It even made it better when we got our furbaby, Bear (dog), involved with our engagement photos. Would definitely use again in the future.

Christina is absolutely amazing to work with. She did our wedding on 11/12/18 and it was so much fun. We hoped for snow on our wedding day, and we got it. Christina has so much energy and an amazing personality to work with. Plus she didn’t have any issues running around downtown Hermann, MO in the freezing weather and snow to make our photos exactly what we wanted. We are so excited to see the final results. Thanks Charisma Photography for making our special day just that much more amazing.

Wow! Christina is so talented and professional! She was such a joy to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. She has a way of capturing the moment without necessarily noticing that she's even there! She is down to earth, yet very passionate and artistic in her photography! Her and her husband work as a well oiled machine and capture the variety of moments of the day. Hands down amazing! We will treasure her work in our family forever!

Christina was joy to work with! She is so friendly and makes getting your picture taken a completely fun experience, instead of what could be very awkward. She listened to what we envisioned for engagement photos and used her professional eye to create amazing photographs! I will definitely use her again when the time comes. For our wedding, she knew the venue, so she already knew the best spots to take photos! The best lighting and places for shade, so it made the process of everything very easy. Thank you so much for capturing the joy and beauty of our special day!

After much deliberation and research, we decided to go with Charisma Photography for our wedding in August of 2018. We started out with engagement pictures in the fall of 2017, which gave us a good chance to meet Christina and her husband. We knew after that session that she would be great keeping everything in order and on track for our large family and wedding party. On the wedding day, Christina was amazing. She took charge and was able to capture every photo we could dream of. She was also down to earth, worked well with our videographers, and respectful of our family and friends. The lighting
