What to expect

You can expect a fun, relaxed, and professional photography experience from start to finish. My goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera while going above and beyond to capture the genuine moments, personalities, and details that make your occasion special.

Whether I’m photographing a corporate event, senior session, family portraits, or an important celebration, I take the time to understand what you’re looking for while also watching for those candid, unexpected moments that often become favorite photographs.

After the session or event, each final image is carefully selected and professionally edited. My typical turnaround time is 1–2 weeks, depending on the season and size of the event.

Your finished photos will be delivered through a convenient online gallery where you can view and download your images and choose your favorites to print and share. Most importantly, you can expect beautiful photographs, friendly and dependable service, and memories you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.

About

Hello! I'm Crystal, a born and raised Minnesota gal. I've had a love for photography as far back as I can remember. I loved playing around with disposable cameras when I was really young - the thrill of waiting 3 days to have film developed at the drug store and then get the phone call that the photos were ready to be picked up was the best! When I was around 11 years old or so, my Grandma bought me my first 35mm camera for my birthday and the rest is history!

Outside of photography, I am an avid Minnesota Twins fan (yes, I accept your condolences), a bowler, a proud mother of the best kiddo in the world, and love to hike and just be outdoors.

Some of my proudest accomplishments as a photographer include being selected for several gallery exhibitions, including the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Competition, as well as having a solo exhibition at the Hallberg Center for the Arts.
My photography has also been published in Chasing Magic, Magic in the Wilderness, the KARE 11 Weather Guide Calendar, and other publications.
I’m especially honored to have received the Photography Grand Champion award at the Washington County Fair for four consecutive years—2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
