Who Are We

VanHyning Photography is owned and led by Christine VanHyning, whose experience in leadership, business management, and photography helps guide the company’s creative and professional direction.

Christine serves as Owner and Primary Photographer, overseeing the business, client experience, and photographic vision of VanHyning Photography.

Craig VanHyning contributes as a photographer, bringing more than thirty years of experience behind the camera and a lifelong connection to the natural world. His background as a wildland firefighter and paramedic shaped the way he observes landscapes—with patience, respect, and attention to the quiet moments often missed.

Together, Christine and Craig create and present fine art landscape photography rooted in authenticity, conservation, and a deep respect for place.
