Short Bio - Hey everyone!! I am Crystal, the C in R+C Photography. I am a mommy to 4 kids and a wife to the most amazing and supportive man alive!!
I was always interested in photography. However, I never had the money to invest in an SLR to learn. When I got married to my husband his sister owned her own sports photography business, and let me borrow their Nikon. I used and abused that little camera for about a year, before they needed it back. When I had to give it back, I felt like a piece of me was missing, and that is when I realized, that my "hobby" was turning into something more.
Then my 2 year old was born, and from there it grew into what it is today. I met Rachel about a year ago and that is when we formed R+C Photography. Shooting with her is a blast. We both bring something completely different to the table, in regards to technical skills, artistic vision, and business savyness.
Our personalities are different enough that we can find some common ground with almost every client. In fact a lot of our clients remain very close friends with us to this day, and this is how we prefer to run our business. I love shooting with a partner. I love having someone to bounce ideas off of, and of course we challenge each other to get better. We are always striving to "one up" our previous shoot. We talk about what we learned from each shoot, and what we can do different next time, and what we liked that time.
To wrap it up lol, shooting together as a partnership, and more then that, as friends, is what makes us unique!!!

Word from the Photographer: I became interested in photography when my first son, Caleb, was born. As a proud new parent I took pictures of him with a VGA camera (640 x 480, not even 1 megapixel) that only had enough memory to take 12 pictures, and cost about $500. The pictures looked terrible, but I was able to email them to family and was quickly bitten by the photo bug. Almost ten years and seven cameras have passed since I snapped the first picture of Caleb. I have learned so much and gained a creative outlet that still surprises many of my friends and family members.

Short Bio (Word from photographer)
Art is one of my passions in life.
I admire and I am inspired by the creativity of others such as Michelangelo, Edouard Manet, Henry Moore and Dale Chilhuly.
As a photographer I feel that have the opportunity to create art… in my own unique way.
In addition to capturing the special moments in people’s lives I also enjoy taking pictures of places.
I have a goal to visit all 7 continents and as I do I will be taking pictures all along the way. Photography is so much a part of my life and it makes me very happy!
My Two Cents
Sara is my sister. She's been doing photographer for a lot longer than I have.
When I started getting interested in Photography back in 2005 we started talking all the time about it and supporting eachother.
We got our blogs around the same time and helped bounce ideas off eachother ever since then.
She's been very helpful and supportive.
She's now planning on starting up some photowalks and other learning experiences down in Arizona, so if you're interested get a hold of her.
