hugs. smiles. love.

With each day that passes we understand the importance of cherishing our loved ones and valuing the time we have with them. This includes taking time to create fun, joyful and touching moments with our families. When we have those moments captured to become tangible images, they beautify our homes with the artwork that is our family.

Crystal’s playful approach make our family photo shoots fun and easy, while her unrivaled skill as a photographer results in pictures we absolutely love. 7 years ago, Crystal became our photographer and we were instantly blown away by the difference she made, compared to all previous photographers we had worked with. Crystal has elevated the yearly school photo of our son into an annual work of art that truly captures his personality at ages 2 and 3, the transitional mood he felt upon starting Kindergarten and his various moods throughout grades 1-4, so far. Crystal’s unique eye, the joy she brings to every photo session and her calm confidence show up in the spectacular prints she always creates. She is wonderful with kids, adults and especially people like me, who don’t like being photographed. Crystal’s ability to put everyone at ease and her mastery of photography results in gorgeous pictures that we have framed in the living room and that we look at daily, with delight. She is unbelievably kind and responsive, and most important, she captures our family’s essence and makes it seem effortless.

Crystal has taken many photos of my family and me over the course of many years. I am always amazed at how she makes me look much prettier than I am in reality! She knows how to play up your best features using the softest light.

Je n'ai que de bonnes choses à dire sur le travail de Crystal. Elle est très talentueuse et vraiment professionnelle. Je ne suis pas une de ces personnes photogéniques, pourtant mes photos prises par Crystal sont les meilleures. Elle détient le remède pour me détendre ce qui fait que les photos sont réussies et très naturelles. Chaque année, ma famille et moi, nous demandons à Crystal de faire notre séance de photos familiale. Je ne peux que recommander son talent et son bon travail aux gens qui sont intéressés. Et une dernière chose que j'apprécie énormément est la qualité de son travail et le résultat que l'on reçoit.

Crystal shot our family portrait and the pictures are beautiful. I had an idea of a style that I wanted and she was able to make that happen, and it was beyond what I imagined it could be. She is very skilled and she knows what she is doing. It was a pleasure working with her.

Crystal is an absolutely brilliant photographer. I happened to meet her as our kids' pre-school recommended her for their beginning of the year pictures. My husband did not want to take any pictures as my twin boys are very difficult to photograph (they were 2 at that time) but I wanted to have some pictures taken anyway. The pictures came back fantastic! I have no clue how she managed but she got individual pictures of them, looking at the camera, smiling, relaxed and showing their personalities. Since then I am not using any other photographer to take pictures of my boys. The last time she managed to get a picture of them hugging each other while holding hands. I have NO CLUE how she manages to do that! Can't recommend her enough. :)
