Crystal did outstanding work from start to finish with my family's experience. She made everything very easy with coordinating & scheduling this experience. Communication was always prompt. At the session, we had a wonderful time from start to finish with our 9 month old daughter. The images are breathtaking & far exceeded our expectations! She captured a time in our family's life that we will forever cherish every time we look at them. Thank you Crystal! Keep up the wonderful work!
