Hi Friends, I’m Crystal Jo!

Child of God. Mom. Photographer. Gymnastics coach. Traveler. Chocolate enthusiast. Professional memory maker.

I’m a joyful soul raising my two little rays of sunshine, Pixie and Lucy. They keep me on my toes, keep me laughing, and occasionally make me wonder how two people can create sooo much laundry. Life with them is busy, loud, hilarious, and full of the kind of moments I never want to forget.

I’ve always loved photography because life is fleeting. Kids grow up. Seniors graduate. Families change. Bellies get bigger. Hair gets grayer. And somehow, the years seem to fly by when we aren’t looking.

That’s where I come in.

I’m here to capture the real stuff. The belly laughs. The goofy faces. The cuddles. The personalities. The slightly chaotic family moments. The proud senior who is ready to take on the world. The little details you might not notice until years later.

My photography style is relaxed, natural, and most importantly FUN. I’m not interested in making you stand perfectly still and smile at the camera for an hour. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I also want you to move, laugh, interact, and be yourselves.

Because honestly, those are usually my favorite photos anyway.

So come as you are. Bring the kids, bring the chaos, bring your favorite people, and please bring your fun personality.

I’ll bring the camera. 📷
