Meet Christy!

There have been lots of super exciting changes happening to Claire Diana Photography recently, and I am now thrilled to announce that I have a new intern joining the team for the Fall semester!  Everyone, meet Christy!

Where did you grow up?

I was born and raised in Sacramento, California.

What’s your favorite pastime?

Ever since I was little I’ve loved baking. I can’t get enough of the smells, tastes, and big smiles that show up on friends and family’s faces after they take their first bites. Plus, it’s a world that can continue to be explored! The combinations of flavors and textures are never ending so it never gets boring - not to mention any sort of baked good is oh so yummy!

Do you have any pets?

My mom and I took in our grandma’s cat after she passed away. Her name is Sparky, and she has the personality to match: although she is little, she is fierce.

What’s your biggest pet peeve?

It bothers me when people discourage change. First of all, change is inevitable! And secondly, change is beautiful. No matter what direction you’re going in life, you’re constantly adapting and flourishing into the beautiful human being that God has created you to be - so why not embrace it?

What’s your favorite junk food?

Flaming Hot Cheetos - they are and forever will be my guilty pleasure!

If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

Dreaming big here, but I would absolutely love to be a Supreme Court Justice after working my way through law school, litigating, and presiding as a judge.

Who is your biggest inspiration?

Definitely my mother. She is the most good-natured person I know and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. I’ve yet to meet anyone else so full of love and grace. She pushes me to be the best person I can every day, and I hope to one day be half the person she is.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

Even though I subscribe to Netflix, I only use it to binge watch one show: The Office. No other show can match its witty humor and hilarious antics!
