February | Inagural Newsletter
NEWS | February 2026
This is the first of my monthly newsletters that you will be receiving with images and descriptions of the many adventures that I have been on. Within the newsletter I will also be showcasing artists and organizations that I support in their growth and endeavors. I welcome any suggestions that you may have in growing this new photography company and apologize up front if you have received this newsletter in error. The recipients of this inaugural newsletter came from my personal email list which spans over forty-four years in real estate along with forty years as a supporter of numerous Orange County arts organizations.
This February newsletter is showcasing the Solo Exhibition that I held in Laguna Beach on January 10th. It met every hope and aspiration of sharing my work with family and friends. On a personal note, I want to share with you that my sister, Susan Lyon, who lives in San Francisco, flew down to surprise me in attending this important day. I also had a wonderful cousin, Richard Rienhardt, who also surprised me from Seattle, WA.
I have always been interested in supporting individual artists and art organizations of which each month I will be highlighting their work.
Starting this Friday the 13th (why not?) I will be offering an 8x10 print giveaway which will be a weekly event. The winner each week will be able to go to my entire collection on the website crhoadespics.com and choose which print they would like. All entry information can be found on the website here.
Christine Rhoades Photography is happy to support your next fundraiser with a complimentary 16x20 print. Contact: Christine@crhoadespics.com
SOLO EXHIBITION
JANUARY 10, 2026
For the viewing of the exhibition I have created a separate collection which can be found on my website as Solo Exhibition 2026
It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you Julia Montroy who has been my designer, curator and all around supporter with the development of my company. She will be an integral part in all the day to day aspects of growing Christine Rhoades Photography. I feel more than bless to have met her and been able to realize her skills and talent.
FEATURED ARTIST
Julia Montroy | Montroy Design
I'm deeply honored to be Christine's first Featured Artist, it truly means a lot to me.
I've run Montroy Design Studio for the last 20 years. My love of history, architecture, and nature, coupled with an adventurous spirit, guarantees I'm never short on inspiration. I love working with clients like Christine who already have a clear vision and a beautiful body of work but need help bringing it to life in new ways. We have partnered together to create an experience that's memorable and authentic, one that tells Christine's real story, her passion for travel and photography, not some polished version that doesn't feel like her.
