“Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.” - Stella Adler
Hey, my name is Christi Marie ♥
Too much for some. Exactly right for others.
 
Artist, photographer, and someone who refuses to water things down to make them easier to consume. I create for people who are done with polished versions of their lives and ready to be seen as they actually are. The messy. The powerful. The moments that don’t ask for permission.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty. And honesty shouldn’t be out of reach.
I believe art and photography should be accessible. Not hidden behind inflated pricing, not locked into upsells, and not reserved for a select few. You get your full story here. No gatekeeping. No surprises. Just real work that reflects real life.
Mandala Gallery | What’s New
These are the most recent finishes, created over time, not in a single pass. Built up in layers, adjusted, reworked, and sometimes completely redirected. Nothing here was rushed just to call it done. What you’re seeing is what happens when I let the work take the time it needs.
What I’ve Been Capturing Lately...
Every gallery here is delivered the same way yours will be: complete, honest, and yours to keep. No upsells, no hidden fees, no “you only get three images” nonsense. Just real sessions, fully captured, and ready to live beyond your screen. All galleries are password protected to respect and protect client privacy, because your moments deserve to stay yours.
