Missional Photographic Storytelling
by Christine Tan
For me, photographs come alive when I get to hear the stories behind the people. Portraits are a wonderful starting point, but my heart is to go deeper than creating beautiful images.

My portrait work fuels this calling to reveal the often-unsung efforts of those loving their neighbors and sowing seeds for God’s Kingdom.
So when you hire me as your portrait photographer,
your support makes this mission possible. Thank you for helping bring it to life.
