I bring the fun—and the camera
I’m married to a really awesome guy named Eric—he’s more on the quiet side, which honestly helps me with clients. I get that not everyone in the family loves being in front of a camera, so I make it fun. Because once you’re actually enjoying it, the photos come naturally. And by the end of the session, they'll all be saying, "that wasn't so bad!"
Me? I’m the total opposite of shy. I’ve taught a full dance floor how to do the Cotton Eye Joe at a wedding I was working, and it was awesome. You’ll usually find me near the speakers, snapping pics, singing along, and dancing with you and your guests. I love a good time—and I bring that energy with me everywhere I go.
I never take for granted that you chose me to capture your best day ever. So I’ll show up with good vibes, a full heart, and by the end of it all… we’ll hug, I’ll tell you I love you, and we’ll probably be friends for life.
Hey, I'm Crystal
I find it hard to write about myself, sometimes I wish other people could write bios for me. But I think I’m pretty cool. I love to have fun. I love being with my family and friends, my husband and my daughter - Maya, outside, in the sun, on a boat, at the bars, on the beach, country concerts, Nashville, traveling somewhere, and driving in my car with the music really loud. Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing it with a smile on my face and enjoying every minute I get to be alive and living this roller coaster we call life.
I’ll bring the energy, the camera, and the good times

Get to know me
I have two Huskies named Maui & Kona. The dog hair I deal with on the daily is literally insane.
I have the same birthday as my daughter, and also my mother. July 2!
If there’s ever a time I can wear my cowboy boots and cowboy hat, I will take full advantage of the opportunity.
Mexican Mules are my absolutely favorite drink in the world. It is my husband and I’s drink of choice everywhere we go.
I visit Marathon in the Florida Keys every year and I believe it is the best place on Earth!
I have worked for my father for my entire life. We owned the largest firearm store in NJ from 2013 to 2024. Prior to the range, we owned a hardware store from 1999 to 2013. We sold paint, nuts and bolts, live bait, boots, clothing and every other outdoor hunting and fishing item you could think of. I grew up in the business and I worked there as a kid starting at the age of 7, running the register, scooping minnows and pricing inventory. Everything I learned about business, I learned from my Dad. I have always been a people person, working in the customer service industry. Before shooting weddings, I sold and shot guns and ran our shooting range!
After working in my dad’s business all my life, when he decided it was time to retire, I knew it was time for me to move on, I had to do something I genuinely loved—something that made people feel cared for, the one thing I strived for everyday in our store. I was never in sales to make money. People came back to our store because I treated them with kindness, respect, and made them feel like they mattered. That’s how I was raised, and that’s the same energy I bring to my business.
When the store sold, I went all in on photography—starting from scratch and pouring my heart into it. Not just to take pretty pictures, but to give people an experience that felt personal, easy, and fun from start to finish.
I don’t have the answer to selling yourself to a couple but I do believe it comes down to connection. You can tell a lot about someone through an email, a text, or a quick phone call. I’ve talked to brides for 30 seconds and just known we were going to be friends. I've met guests at weddings who told me that when they get married, they are going to hire me. That’s what matters most—finding someone who gets you and who wants you around on one of the biggest days of your life. Your not just hiring a photographer, your hiring a person to share your very important day with!
I’ll never claim to be the best of the best, but I will always give you my best. If you choose me, you won’t just be a date in my calendar. You’ll be two people I care about, two new friends, and two people who can count on me to show up, bring the energy, and help you have the best damn day ever.
