Bio
In the beginning…
I was your typical little bush kid who loved searching for stones, playing with the menagerie of farm animals, helping dad in the yard or mustering on the motor bikes. Thankfully I have married a wonderful cook as I was a bit of a tomboy and never really spent much time in the kitchen.
We spent till grade 3 on a property just outside Tambo , then grade 4 till grade 9 between Bollon and Mitchell where our ever patient Mum taught us . We were School of The Air kids!!! Then grade 9 till 12 was spent on another property outside Aramac.
Lots of long bus trips to boarding school Downlands in Toowoomba, do not miss those at all.
When I finished high school in Toowoomba and not being entirely sure of what I wanted to be when - and if - I ever grew up I decided to set sail for the motherland hoping to figure it all out.
To cut a long story short, after an amazing two years of traveling through Europe and working as a nanny in London I returned to Australia for my brother’s wedding. Still not sure what I wanted to do…I decided to chat with a careers advisor (I know what you’re thinking - how daggy). It made me decide that I wanted to go to Queensland College of Art to study photography. I knew then that I wanted to be a family photographer.
I spent the next four years rushing between full-time work and study, often until late in the night, but I knew that this was what I wanted to do! In my final year of study I married my best friend Andy.
The next stage in my life was starting my business and having babies – at the same time! In 1996 Katrina Christ Photographer, was born!. The challenge of balance between starting a business and family was tricky, thank god for wonderful husbands.
By this stage I had decided to specialise in family portraiture. All of my blood, sweat and tears paid off because the business took off.
I decided whilst in hospital giving birth to my 3rd daughter that I would enter the Telstra Small Business awards and ended up as a Qld Finalist that year in 2003 and again in 2004.
