About

Hi! I'm Christina, my middle name is Best, and I'm a photographer. I photograph all kinds of people and things.

My photography utilizes natural light and space to beautifully capture subjects and their essence. As inspired by light, lines, shadows, space, and fellow creatives, I strive to capture the virtue I see and feel in the world.

Regardless of the digital age we live in, I am a firm believer in Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “Decisive Moment” by using intuition, light, and timing to determine exactly when to snap the shutter (and then keep snapping).

My subjects include portraits, families, still lifes, landscapes, and events all while depicting them in a adulatory form. I primarily use the digital medium but still shoot 35mm film for fun and personal projects.

When I'm not shooting, you'll find me hanging out in my garden, walking riverside, or teasing one of my cats. Please get in touch for rates or just to chat. I love coffee, photo walks, and creative talk.

Christina is the best!

We booked Christina based on a family members recommendation and we met her the day of our wedding, crazy right? We were were BLOWN AWAY! Christina's personality is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable the entire night, like we were running around with a friend! And the photos, they turned out amazing! I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a photographer.

Wilson Wedding 11/2023

Where to start? She's AMAZING! I came to know Christina and her work through a highly trusted family member attending our wedding. Christina's gallery showcased exactly the style and realness within her photos that I was searching for.

We chose a package for our small, intimate wedding of under 45 guests hosted at the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley. We met during our engagement shoot in Sacramento. Meeting her in person was great. She is so cheerful, happy and genuinely kind. Her personality was also a joy to have around to keep energy high and excited. She wanted to celebrate our love and unity as much as we did.

The day of the wedding, she floated around and I didn't even know she was there. She captured SO many wonderful moments and made sure each attendee was featured. The detailed images, the candidate, the ceremony, reception, I could go on and on about our day. Christina even followed us for on last chance on the bridal balcony between the rain. She made the Wilson wedding timeless! I'll forever look at these pictures and think nothing but love!

Christina Best Thomas was truly a blessing to our wedding day. I don't know many married couples who can say that their photographer made them feel as relaxed and happy as she made us. Christina was also good at blending in because a lot of the shots were pleasant surprises of candid with laughing guests or children playing. She has a wonderful eye and a delightful spirit. She was so positive and uplifting the entire day (she made every moment so easy and fun)! She was quick to get us the final prints and even asked for our favorites. I loved that she allowed us to have input with the photos we loved. She was very responsive and made our day look so beautiful. She even printed out my top favorites and put them into a beautiful box that I still peek through from time to time. My mother and mother in law also enjoyed going through them. She offers many services as well. I need to contact her again for a large print of the family photo! I never knew that it took so much work to get the right quality of print. She is definitely experienced and worth every penny. I would recommend her to any bride.
