About Christy Whitehead

The images above are pictures behind the scenes and also incorporate images of my family, our pets and more.

I've been a photographer for over 20 years and started my career as a journalist.

I am a mom with two great kids.

I've always been very much into genealogy and family is very important to me. I force my family to take photos all the time.

Photographs have always been a way for me to stop time for a moment.

When I pack my car to run from a hurricane, pictures are one of the first things that go in the trunk. Clothing can be replaced, but my memories can't.

I don't do coffee, love Coke. But I prefer Mexican coke--cause it has cane sugar instead of corn syrup. I hate mashed potatoes, grits and seafood. Chocolate covered strawberries are one of my favorite foods.

I love to travel. I love camping with my kids. Our house is often a crazy place where chickens might be temporarily living in the bathtub. We've had pet peacocks and goats before.

When the weather is nice, I sometimes drive my 66 Ford Mustang convertible. She normally puts me in a good mood when I have to get groceries.

If you're ever at the studio, sometimes my kids are there. My daughter works part time for me and she's great with the little ones.
