About Us

I'm so happy you're here!

After over 19 years of experience in the South Texas events industry, we have strong connections with many other professional photographers we hire as second shooters, assistants, grips, or other roles as needed to delivery outstanding photography for your event.  Chrystina is always the lead photographer and editor for every event booked with Straughan Photography.

Chrystina

Chrystina is the lead photographer and owner of Straughan Photography. Events are some of the most exciting days, and Chrystina enjoys every moment of documenting them.


As a member of a military family, Chrystina has had the opportunity to travel extensively, including several years in Germany, where she developed a deep appreciation for the art and architecture of Old Europe. Her family eventually settled in the Texas Hill Country.



Chrystina received her B.S. from Sam Houston State University, where she studied Journalism (Photography) and Agriculture. She is a Certified Professional Photographer and obtained her Photographic Craftsman and Master of Photography degrees through Professional Photographers of America (PPA). These are among the highest recognitions for speaking, writing, and mentoring in photography.
