Capturing your love stories and connections through my lens.

Hi, I'm Christin!

I am an island born girl (she/her), who was raised in Ontario. I've forever had a longing to be back by the sea, and the beautiful forest and mountains, and am so happy to live on the traditional lək̓ʷəŋən - Lekwungen Territory, in Victoria, BC, which is also home to my downtown (LGBTQ friendly and all body positive) photography studio. I am a single mama, and my three littles (who are not quite so little anymore - hello teenage life) are my world. I love the ocean and enjoy freediving, everything about whales and marine life, as well as exploring the lush rainforests here and foraging for mushrooms.



The importance of motherhood, and that wild love like no other is what inspires me. The stories between a couple, the love the sparks your souls on fire. Families built on so much history and love. Connections. These are are the things that inspire me - people and their connections and the stories they tell. Let me help tell your story!

Client Love

Christin is just wonderful. She did our 1 year old baby photos and she could not have been more kind, more talented, more fun! She made the experience fantastic from start to finish and the images made us all cry with how gorgeous they turned out. Christin is also a lovely person who volunteers and contributes her time to important causes and so I could not recommend her more highly!

We were traveling from Ontario to Victoria for the first time and wanted family photos in a beautiful setting. Christin chose the perfect location for our family and made the whole process fun. It just felt so natural! I quickly received a teaser photo and fell in love. Absolutely perfect results! We'll be booking with Ooh Ooh Darling again on our next vacation to Victoria.

We did a family photo shoot during the heights of COVID, and Christin was amazing with our 3 and 6 year-old. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous and she somehow managed to get both great action shots as well as beautiful posed portraits, all while she was socially distancing and staying masked up! Great value for the product, and she was very patient with us and our kids. Thank you so much for your beautiful work capturing our special memories!
