About Celina

I began photographing the world around me as a child of 4 years old. Snaps of my mom and dad watching TV, sticks and plants on outings to chop firewood.
In high school, I was the student who would skip socializing at lunch to secure my spot on an enlarger in the darkroom. And in college, I majored in photography and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington.

I have been fortunate to work and specialize in several areas of photography: portraits, events, and commercial/product. Because of this, I consider myself a multi-disciplinary photographer with several areas of expertise.
Along with my photography experience, I have experience podcasting (audio editing, conducting interviews, transcription), videography (including video editing), picture framing and fine art giclee printing, as well as digital marketing and am available for consultation as well as photography services.
While sorting through my grandparents’ belongings after their passing, I discovered a trove of old cameras in the back of a closet. This was when I realized from whence my love of photography came; my grandmother. My Memo had been an amateur photographer and had collected cameras, the oldest dating from the early 1940s, and the latest a Polaroid camera from the 1970s. My grandmother was known for capturing all of the important family moments, and the photo albums she put together exist to this day.
