About Me

Welcome to Justine Christal Photography Blog! 


This blog started as a way for me to share my photography and get clients. I am now using it to share whatever is on my mind. (I still take photos too..If you would like more information on the me as a photographer click here.) 

Lately that has been... recipes, therapy, travel, DIY projects, and so on. 

I think one of the best ways to understand people are to look at the hats they wear. Not literal hats.. I am talking about the different "hats" people wear for their roles in life. Sometimes it feels like I have them all piled on my head at times! My "hats" include:

  • Therapist- I am a therapist (social worker accruing licencing hours) at Lutheran Social Services. I like to focus on children and families, adoption, attachment, and trauma. 
  • Photographer 
  • Wife- Married to this great man!
  • James Stokes Photography, LLC
  • Christian- This "hat" I never take off. :)
  • Traveler- I love traveling and I have been making it a priority in my life for some years now.
  • Eco-friend- I love nature and believe wholeheartedly in taking care of it!
  • Daughter, Sister, and friend. Who knows.. This blog may be a "mommy blog" when I gain that "hat."
