Meet Crystal

I’m Crystal. I am a family and portrait photographer located 45 minutes north of Minneapolis, MN in Cambridge. I am married to an amazing man (one who cooks me delicious food all of the time), and have three wonderful sons that make me so proud, Logan is 20 and is pursuing a business degree in college, Lucas is 17 and loves working on his truck, Landon is 15 and loves sports. Basically all of my clients know about the boys as they’re the highlight of my life! They keep me busy and inspired.

My sons see how much I love what I do and they see joy every time I get home from a photoshoot. Showing them what it is like to love your life is so important to me. My job is also my true passion in life, I often am using my big lens for wildlife and football photography. I made photography my full time career about 10 years ago. It has allowed me to be present at home and also spend time with amazing people documenting their life.

I love to find beautiful luminous light, and capture true, simple moments that will forever make you remember what these days felt like. I have a beautiful natural light studio in Cambridge as well as many outdoor locations. To see more of the studio please visit www.instagram.com/studioundertheoaks
