Crystal is so kind, patient, and positive! My husband is not a fan of having his photo taken but Crystal captured some beautiful and natural images of him. We had a wonderful experience and photos that we can treasure! Crystal flowed well with our thoughts and then her own expert opinion. We will definitely be using her again!

Crystals work is beautiful but it isn't just about her work. It's about how she makes you feel and trust her. I was very nervous about taking pictures at first and she helped me relax and coached me on poses. She was very mindful of my pregnancy and safety when taking pictures outdoors. Our family recommends her 100%.

Crystal was phenomenal. Before our session I loved how she took the time to get to know me and the vision for my brand. In our shoot she accomplished so much, she had poses and scenery mapped out. She directed me and really captured my vision. Crystal was very professional and could tell she is passionate about what she does. I will definitely be working with her again.

Crystal is wonderful! I usually feel nervous taking photos but I felt at ease and comfortable the entire time. She helps guide you to take great photos that look natural. I was impressed with the photos. It was difficult for me to choose my favorites. Outstanding quality of work. I definitely recommend.

Crystal did a wonderful job with our wedding photos. We "eloped" in our backyard and wanted a photographer to capture the event. Crystal was just what we needed - professional yet able to make you relax and almost forget she was there. The photos she took exceeded our expectations. Everyone who has seen them has commented on how well they turned out. Thank you Crystal for making two camera shy people look natural.
