Hey There!I’m Crystal and I’m so happy you stopped by!
Since moving to the country in 2020, I have discovered a couple key features about myself.
1 - I have become a crazy duck lady (as my children like to call me), they are the cutest ever! - ducks that is, and my kids too.
2 - Gardening isn’t as hard as I thought it was. I can now grow more than just gardens of good intentions. - I am still working out the kinks though
3 - I actually love it and didn’t think I ever wanted to move out of town. Turns out, I won’t ever move back.
I am surrounded by the most amazing people in the world! My husband and our adorable kids. They are so so amazing and I cherish all of the moments spent with them. I hate how they seem to fly by so fast. So you can usually find me with my camera in hand and my children saying “stop taking pictures”.
But understanding how important these moments are, I apply the same principles when I photograph my clients weddings and families. My goals are simple. I want to document all of the moments! Especially when it counts the most, either on a wedding day, with your family or when you are feeling body positive and want to remember it.
I’m a romantic... and I love using this to capture love. All of the love. Whether it is applied to a mother bonding with her new baby, families playing together or a couple cuddled up together in each others arms on the most important day of their lives. I enjoy it all so much! When capturing the love, my passion lies within weddings. They give me all the feels!
I love being there to capture the day between you and your loved one(s). I try to make your experience with me as seamless as possible. So, I get a feel of who you are and I am either a loud, joke-making friend or I am a quiet fly on the wall. Ultimately, I want your pictures to represent you and who you are as a person in that moment. I want you to be yourself. Completely and unapologetically…
Thats what I love and if thats what you love, let’s chat over coffee or wine either in person or on FaceTime and see if we are a good fit. I am based out of Peterborough Ontario, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to travel! I especially love to shoot a variety of new locations. I travel most within Ontario. The most popular area’s I travel are throughout Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes and Prince Edward County.
One more thing, let’s be friends on Instagram @crystaljessup !!
Other fun facts about me…
I work towards being a minimalist since watching it on Netflix, I suck at it, but try.
I have terrible taste in movies, cheesy chick flick, sign me up!
Listening to the rain with coffee in hand is the most relaxing feeling ever.
Wood burning fireplaces, mm that smell on a cool day.
I will always mess up catch phrases. My family likes to let me struggle while figuring it out.
