Crystal was so accommodating when the weather turned poor for our scheduled shoot. I really appreciated how she worked with me to reschedule. She also has a very calming presence which made it easier to feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend her for your next photoshoot and I would use her services again in the future.

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.

I completed a Branding and Lifestyle Shoot with Crystal and the experience was fabulous. She was attentive, gave great direction and did a phenomenal job capturing exactly the look and feel I was looking for in my shoot. Thank you CMB Photography and we will see you at our next shoot.

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.

Crystal was awesome with our family! We use her over and over for family pictures, my maternity pics and my son’s first birthday. She is amazing with candid photos and outdoor scenery.

Last Saturday was my second time booking Crystal. A few months back she did a shoot for my oldest daughter. The pictures came out so Beautiful and put the biggest smile on my daughter's face for her birthday. So when it came time to do a family shoot I knew exactly who to call. Crystal has a very pleasant demeanor which would make anyone feel comfortable. Both times the photos were sent ahead of time with plenty and many to choose from. The photos have a great quality.  I hope this review helps everyone to make the best decision when in search of a photographer. I definitely plan to book with
