Meet Crystal 

A Corpus Christi photographer specializing in newborn, maternity, family, and milestone portraits — with a calm, thoughtful approach.

A Calm, Guided Approach

My approach to photography is rooted in patience, connection, and creating a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. Sessions are intentionally paced and gently guided, allowing for natural moments to unfold without pressure or rushing.
 

Whether I’m working with a newborn, a growing family, or a graduating senior, my goal is always the same: to create polished, timeless images while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable.

Experience You Can Trust

In addition to over a decade of photography experience, I have a background in healthcare, including years spent working in a local pediatric emergency department. That experience shaped the way I work — with attentiveness, calm problem-solving, and a deep respect for safety and comfort.
 

This background is especially valuable during newborn and family sessions, where patience, adaptability, and a steady presence make all the difference.

What Clients Often Share

Families often tell me how surprised they are by how relaxed their sessions feel — and how many beautiful images we’re able to create even when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Children don’t need to be perfectly cooperative for meaningful images to happen, and sessions are designed to meet families where they are.
