I'm Christine!
I'm a portrait photographer based in Melbourne, Australia.
These are the stories and images of some of the teens I've photographed around the world. Sprinkled in here is also my work as a missional photographic storyteller which focuses on the work of organisations on a mission to do good and bring good to their local and global communities.
Thanks for being here.
This past winter I photographed my first high school production, and I couldn’t have asked for a more joyful introduction. Mary Poppins at Glen Waverley Secondary College was bursting with colour, talent, and energy from start to finish. The students’ enthusiasm filled the stage — and the auditorium — in the best way.

It’s something special to work with teens across the years, getting to know them and hear first hand how they have matured, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s also an amazing […]
When I started playing softball again in 2022, I met some pretty fun women who love the sport so much that no matter rain or shine, cold or hot, even all that weather on the same day (that’s just Melbourne being Melbourne), they’d make the trek to the diamonds at the Waverley Women’s Sports Complex […]
This 2023 school year brought new opportunities to photograph more teens and young people in the Melbourne area. One organisation I thoroughly enjoyed working with was the Melbourne Youth Orchestra. The MYO provides performance opportunities for over 580 young musicians in the greater Melbourne area across various ensembles, ages, and ability levels. Musicians range from […]
The year was my most eventful and diverse year of shooting teenagers since arriving in Australia in 2019. As we were finally able to travel outside the country, I shot dozens of teens across three continents. Closer to home in Melbourne I had the honour of photographing many talented teens here in Australia. In no […]
Many people look at me quizzically when I say that I’m a portrait photographer who specialises in teen portraits. Why not wedding, family, maternity or kids?
