How Paradise Began
When Christine stepped away from her legal career in Washington, DC to pursue photography, she was following more than a passion. she was following her heart.
Little did she know that decision would lead her to more than beginning a new career. It would lead her to meet her husband James Roy, the owner of a successful Maryland-based studio whose artistry, dedication, and vision matched her own.
Together, their shared love for storytelling through imagery blossomed into a partnership in life and business. United by creativity and a dream of living on an island, they brought Paradise Photography to life, blending their award-winning talents into a studio rooted in artistry, romance, and intention. This husband-and-wife team is proof of what it means to follow your heart and see where it leads.
Photography is more
than clicking a button;
it's creating an experience.

As the first Master Photographer in Turks and Caicos she is known for her refined approach and dedication to her craft. Under her direction, Paradise Photography has grown into an award-winning studio, recognized as Business of the Year.
