Meet Christina Fox

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Fox.

Christina, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born and grew up in Philadelphia for fourteen years, but when I turned fifteen in Arizona, I was mentored for four years by my photography teacher, Mr. Lew, and started my photography in the darkroom. From developing my own film to creating my own prints with the enlarger and the various chemicals that would leave my fingers smelling like sulfur every single day – it was magic to me. I was making magic.

Through those years, with the guidance of Mr. Lew and the many “photo drives” my mom and I would go on in the desert, my eye improved for angles, depth, and the overall beauty of well, everything and everyone.

As a young adult, I started my business out in Arizona and did well with word of mouth and social media, but decided to leave the West Coast behind and move to North Carolina to be closer to my family – especially my Granny.

I would freelance here and there, but my camera took a backseat while education, family, and love took the wheel. During those times it always felt like something was missing and looking back it’s evident that it was my camera. It brings me life.

Now that I am a mother to a beautiful child, the fiancé of a gorgeous person, and the happiest that I have ever been, I knew that it was time to pick up my Nikon again. Ever since that I have made that decision, I have never felt fuller.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Nothing involves a smooth road in most scenarios – there’s always going to be a struggle. I struggled with my confidence for a long time, but now my only struggle is to keep up with my schedule! It’s hectic and refreshing!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a photographer who specializes in Weddings, Events, and anything else you might need – from engagements, family, commercial, I have experienced and have a portfolio for it!

My ability to capture candids definitely sets me apart from others. It doesn’t take much for me to make you laugh! Genuine smiles make such a significant difference when it comes to the quality and memory of a photograph.

Any big plans?
I currently am taking it day by day and enjoying this time in my life. I would love to eventually have an assistant that I can teach and have a backup, but that’s for the future!
