Hi, I am Christina. (We'll work on a self-portrait later...)

My love for photography started when I was just a kid- with disposable cameras. I wanted to snap a picture of everything I would see. As I grew older, the love I had for photography grew with age. I started using a 35mm, and learning on my mother's camera. My mother would always say I had an eye for Photography.

After high school, I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop. Within a few months, I had self taught myself a lot of the program and with the years, and many changes within the software, I became fairly proficient with the program- self-taught.

Around 2010, I started a hobbyist photographer, with a high interest in Boudoir- women empowerment. Just 1 year later, I went from a hobby to a legit fulltime business. While I loved what I did, I didn't find Boudoir completely fulfilling. I began taking workshops to gain more experience in other styles. I quickly fell in love with babies and military families. Christina Rush Photography went a different direction, shifted away from Boudoir, and became known for photographing newborns and military homecomings.

Being that my husband is military as well, we moved a lot. I was well established in Virginia. Then, we moved to California and my photography business boomed there as well. We were thrown a curveball when I became pregnant with our son and he was born 8 weeks early. I took a step back from photography to focus on him, and my family, limiting sessions to a couple a month. Then, we moved again, and again, and again... and one more time, in just 2 years. I let my business go with dreams for the future.

Now, we're planted in Tennessee. We are home.

I've decided to take a step back and get my degree- a dual degree in both Photography and Graphic design. I'm taking this time to go back to basics, see things differently, grow as a photographer and also as a graphic designer with intentions of specializing in photomanipulation. I'm taking this time to reinvent Christina Rush Photography, expand on my creative side and become the best I can be in the world of Photography.
