Hey! I’m Christa

and I’ve had a passion for the art and storytelling of photography for as long as I can remember. It is my favorite way to express myself creatively. I live for the connections I form with my clients and the stories we tell together. I’m here to bring all of my experience and creativity into providing an amazing experience for you and to tell your story in a way that looks and feels authentic to you. I’m based out of Phoenix, AZ and I am available for hire worldwide.

“It’s because of Christa that I have my “look at me now” photos hanging in my living room! It has taken me years to be in the best shape of my life and I’m so thankful Christa was able to capture this special moment for me! She took my vision and brought it to life!” - Rayanna

"Christa is without a doubt one of the best photographers out there! As someone who is often awkward and shy in front of the camera, it made such a huge difference to have a skilled photographer who was able to guide me through the photoshoot. She has an impeccable eye for the perfect setting and poses to breathe life into any idea and vision. The images she captured during our session were stunning and breathtaking! I absolutely loved working with Christa and would 100% recommend her to any and everyone looking for a photographer." - Sola

“Christa is one of the best photographers I have had the honor of working with. Her energy on set is very calming and she made me feel so comfortable, especially while shooting swimsuit on a crowded beach. She’s very communicative and her direction is always easy to understand.” - Payton Booker

“Christa from The Blüm Gallery provides premier services and intentionality that speaks to the integrity of the person behind the camera and that is business that you can trust. Christa showed up to my video shoot and provided a calm, fun, and creative presence that was engaging and full of life-giving moments, laughter, and captured black women in their element — BEING BLACK. It was unforced, effortless, and easy from the beginning until now. Christa captured so many organic moments as well as orchestrated beautiful intentional moments that helped make the shoot day one full of good memories that the girls, production crew, and myself can now have for a life time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHRISTA!!!!” - Alton Kiing
