About Me
Christina Parker

I specialize in bringing out the real emotions of families and children. My photography style is playful, with natural expressions and connections. I also have candy for incentives, if allowed, of course!! On the commercial side, I photograph business owners, and their products, and their brand.
I photograph Tuesday thru to Friday, and some Saturdays. Sundays are reserved for the Sabbath Day, and spending time with my family.
Favorite thing to do? To PLAY and CREATE a quality product and service. One of my children, jokes that when I die, on my headstone, it will say, "Serial Entrepreneur". Twenty five years ago, I got creating and published my own cross stitch designs. Then came creating my one of a kind jewelry called "Precious Sadie's" for 8 years. After my camera was left behind in Mexico, I fell into photography night classes at SAIT for 2 years in 2009 to learn all about photography.
2020, I am starting my 8th year in the photography business, and changed my name to Playtography! Playtography was created in 2016, as an in home preschool, where I taught, and took daily photographs, to create a personalized photo album for each parent. Children play on my different photography backdrop sets, as one of their centers of learning, and I have many small business owners come in as guest speakers.
I love playing, and creating, it will be a combination of photography, as well as a blog.
Favorite Saying? "I want to do it all, I can do it all, I just can't do it all, at the same time".
Favorite Movies: The childhood classic, "Mary Poppins", of course, I want to jump into the sidewalk, and ride a carousel horse! Other sappy, chic flicks, like, "While he was sleeping".
Favorite Food: Ice cream, there is always room for ice cream, it just melts in between the cracks!
On my bucket list: There is always room to Travel. 2016, I did a 5 week car trip from Alberta, to New Jersey, and back. 19 states, 3 provinces, and 1 wedding! I'm always up to travel to Disney, and go on a rollercoaster!
Favorite Season: Spring! Love the warm air, the new buds on the trees, and rain. I love rainy saturdays, and puddles to jump in unexpectedly, especially if holding a child's hand!
I love serving the world by fundraising through photography that will especially benefit children and families.
