Short Bio

I have always been a creative person.  I was always interested in art.  I used to do alot of scrapbooking, (alot) and had many friends who admired the pictures in my albums.  One of those friends hired me to do her family pictures, all I had then was my little kodak digital camera and my brain, and it pretty much snowballed from there.  This wasn't something I would have ever thought of doing as a career let alone having my own successful business.  So along the way, I have had to learn (alot of times it was by doing things the wrong way) how to get the effects I wanted.  Gradually got better equipment and try to learn things along the way.  I also make collages with all of my shoots to capture some of the feeling.  turning a few pictures into a work of art.  The best part of being a photographer is all the friends you make along the way.  When I gain a client, they always come back for more, and that trusting relationship goes along way.  Helps me to build the self confidence I need in making this successful business.

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 (Word from photographer)

I'm primarily a people photographer.
I used to shoot flowers and landscapes and architecture, but I find that the most fulfilling work for me is capturing people's inner and outer beauty and allowing others to see and appreciate them.
My Two Cents
David Terry or (Dwterry) is very well known in some circles... as the guy who everyone wonders how he gets everything done that he gets done.
He gets his pictures done and online faster than many of us can even consider uploading them
He posts to his blog, smugmug, facebook, flickr and who knows what else.
He's also known as the person to turn to when you need some feedback or comments on something.
It would be interesting to know how many comments he's left on people's pictures in his lifetime.
It's probably far more comments than most people have taken pictures or a greater quantity than some people have even seen pictures.
He knows almost all my photographer friends and does a better job at keeping track of them than I do.
And yet he has a full time job and has raised several kids and goes to tons of Photography events and is very open to helping and teaching.
In short: He's an inspiration to many!
