Minimalist

Crystal creates photos that incorporate the concepts of minimalism to allow the beauty of your photos lasting forever. Her photos are elegant and clean with a strong focus on emotions and connections. Hanging a piece of portrait art created by Crystal will not add the noise to your home, but only the love floating in the air. Crystal believes that photos that capture emotions and love remind us of the values that matter the most in our lives. This belief has helped her bring up the genuine laughs, smile, and interactions in families. If you believe in these values and have a faith to the power of love like Crystal does, please let Crystal capture the precious moments for your family.
