About CUhlDesigns

My name is Christina and I am the founder of CUhlDesigns and the photographer behind CUhlPhotography. I first started shooting photography in the middle of the snowy slopes of Steamboat Springs Ski Area in Colorado. I stood in the elements day after day capturing photos of people skiing by practicing what it takes to properly expose a photo to the conditions you are shooting in and truly learning what it takes to get the right shot.

I immediately bought my own camera as soon as that season ended and it has been at my hip, or around my neck ever since. After studying photography at Colorado Mountain College, I became much more familiar with all of the intricacies of the business of photography. This is where I learned data management, honed my Adobe creative skills, was challenged to adapt to new and different shooting techniques, and learned about an array of technicalities surrounding the production of photography.

All of that gave me the tools I needed to formulate CUhlDesigns. I created every photo on this site. I now have more than 7 years of experience with professional shoots. I do not limit my shooting. I have an extensive and diverse portfolio which you can explore throughout this site. I absolutely love the challenge of a new project. My goal is to build lasting relationships with people who love great photos. I incorporate my skills in post-production with an intricate eye for composure, beauty, and color. I emphasize the candid moments of life at its best in order to create stunning imagery that tells a beautiful story.
