my mission

Making photo sessions fun and romanticizing your life in imagery.

Reasons to hire me.

 I LOVE children, and would never expect them to be perfect. I love people and never expect dads to be perfect, ha!  I have a natural ability to make everyone comfortable, dads usually say the session was actually fun!  I make moms look beautiful.  I do like to capture life more beautifully than it may feel, why wouldn't we want everything to have a little magic or whimsy?!  I edit your photos fast!  You'll never be waiting on me. I'm affordable, local sessions are $375.   I've been a photographer for 18 years.

Testimonials

If you're seeking natural vibes and warm lighting, look no further than Crystal.  I was incredibly fortunate to find her for our wedding photos.  She has the warmest personality and made us feel so comfortable.  We did our engagement photos at her backyard pond, it felt like we were straight out of the movie The Notebook.

Crystal has captured the growth of our family from maternity, newborn and regular sessions. We see her annually for family photos and our three children squeal with delight, I'm not sure they realize she is our photographer and we pay her to take out pictures.  They think it's a date to have fun and hang out with her!

Crystal will be my photographer for life.  I've had three sessions with her.  She makes photos so easy for the whole family, she is fun to be with and her studio/yard is beautiful.  She is priced extremely fair too.  All around 10/10.

Testimonials

Crystal has taken our photos many times now, and I can only say great things about her.  With a rambunctious 5 year old, it's always nervewracking on how a photographer can handle the challenge of a not always cooperative kid.  Crystal has exceeded our expectations in every aspect of making our photos incredible and having fun doing it!! I can't recommend her enough to anybody!

Crystal has been taking our family photos since my daughter was born 3 years ago and we have been so incredibly happy!  Her turnaround time to get photos back is faster than any photographer I've worked with! She is kind and always makes us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Crystal is incredible at what she does!  She took newborn photos for us and we adore every single image!  Her work is timeless and I know we will treasure these photos forever.  The session was efficient and we had so much fun chatting with Crystal during nursing breaks, which she was so patient about.  Her studio is stunning! I've been dreaming of the day I could work with her and she did not disapoint!

Testimonials

I can't begin to describe how special Crystal made my session with my young sons.  She is so kind and personable, she captured their sweet and goofy sides in the perfect way!  The experience of taking photos with her will be a cherished memory in itself.

Teresa bass

Crystal took photos of our full family (three generations) on our farm.  She was a delight to work with and clearly loves what she does- capturing family memories.  Both our family and our farm look absolutely beautiful in her photos.  She has a wonderful style and did a great job getting our toddler to smile.  We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area!

Melanie b

We LOVE hiring Crystal as our photographer.  She captures the best candid photos, and knows how to get our boys to laugh.  She is easy going and kind.  She has a very quick turn around time with in one week.  Her studio is beautiful and outdoor photos are gorgeous as well!
