Short Bio:
With ten years of experience as a commercial photographer, I felt accomplished and successful, but something was missing. Becoming a father was the catalyst that caused my love of photography to blossom all over again. With so many special, once-in-a-lifetime moments, I found myself being constantly inspired by my daughter. I spent countless hours staring at my precious miracle, snapping endless pictures in hopes of preserving every amazing bit of her. Children are the most genuine and revealing of creatures; there is nothing like capturing those moments of uninhibited emotion. With the assistance of my wonderful wife, Sophie, I use a fun and energetic approach to elicit natural expressions that come from deep within: a burst of laughter, an impish grin or an intense gaze. I tailor my images to each child, in order to present you with images that truly represent the child you love and cherish. Our babies grow so quickly. This is your chance to cheat time and embrace these precious moments that will bring you joy and lasting memories. I find nothing more rewarding than being able to provide parents with images to be treasured for a lifetime. I draw on my photographic expertise to ensure that you receive stunning portraits of the highest quality.

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!!!

Short Bio: I come from a family of four brothers and grew up in both Chicago Ill, and Pentwater Michigan. The
military took me to Ft. Lewis Washingtion where I turned 30 and entered into the 2nd Ranger Battalion for a little
over three years. After the Army, Pocatello, Idaho is where I finished my Mass Communication degree and where I met my wife
Madeline Ritchie, eventually settling in Salt Lake after fishing a combat tour in Baghdad. I'm 41 now.
I work as a draftsman for FFKR Architects - www.ffkr.com.
Photography started as a creative outlet and has evolved into something unexplainable
for me. I really enjoy just grabbing my gear and shooting for myself -- and most of my images reflect that. Unpaid
work is always the most enjoyable as you don't feel the pressure to perform and it just happens, or it doesn't. Street
Photography could become quite addicting also, if we lived in NYC; upon visiting there I quickly became hooked.
Recently I've ventured into some paid work - portraits, weddings, and some light commercial Architectural assignments.
My style is a bit geometric and maybe even constrained, or serious. Influences come from the masters of Bauhaus,
Lissitzky, and the Russian Constructivist's and I rely heavily on visualizing a grid when I view the frame. I very
much like creating tension with either the placement of the subject or with the strength or weakness of the camera
and equipment. Lens Bokeh becomes a powerful aspect of some of the favorite images, along with geometric framing.
Photography is always very challenging and rewarding when it all comes together - I'm constantly learning and glad to be
apart of the Salt Lake group of photographers of where I met Scott Jarvie and friends.
