303 Magazine--July Issue!

The Outdoor issue of 303 Magazine is out! Check out the Aspen shoot that I did with the 303 team. Produced by Laura Standley, Hair & Makeup by Ron Lopez, photo assisting by Melanie Watson, Fashion styling by Tracy Bozarth, and modeling by the AMAZING Aubrey Brewer of Donna Baldwin Talent.

I had such a great time in Aspen. It was nothing at all what I expected (previous knowledge of Aspen was from the movie Dumb & Dumber..hahaaa). It was beautiful, everyone was really friendly, and it's seclusion was alluring. Our team worked REALLY hard. We hauled lights up hills (mountain base), into a restaurant, up stairs, down stairs, and around pools. We even got kicked out of the street at one point--but luckily got the shot in the 2 minutes prior. Everyone was fantastic to work & play with...and I really appreciated the opportunity!

Pride Fest 2011

2011-07-03T23:50:00.011-06:00

I went to the pride parade this year, and wanted to share some of the snapshots that I took, for fun. It was an amazing time, with so much to see. Can't wait for next year!

It's been two years since my last post. WOW.

Hello! I have to apologize to anyone that sees this blog! It has been two years since I posted anything. I even had to reset the password, because it had been that long. WOW. I will be better about that moving forward.

So it's been two years! A lot has happened. I have so many images to share!! I will spend the next couple of weeks catching my blog up. I am also in the middle of building a new website and massive editing, so let's just say, that my computer and I are REALLY close right now. So if we see each other in public, and I have a thousand yard stare, you will know why.

Here is something short and quick to share! My husband was voted a top personality by 5280 magazine (Editor's choice, best comedian). My photo of him was featured in the July 'Top of the Town' issue. We found out that they needed a photo of him, so we jumped in the car, drove down colfax ave, until we found a couple of fun walls and store fronts. It was TERRIBLE light (noon-ish), but we made the best of it! Check it out! --xo crystal

Savannah

2009-05-31T19:54:00.010-06:00

I recently returned from Savannah, Georgia, where I was shooting a wedding for some friends of mine. I had such an amazing time getting to know all of their family and friends. Tim and Courtney have such a wonderful dynamic, and being surrounded by those who loved them was so wonderful. I have always found Savannah so inspiring...with it's rich culture, and incredible trees. But I had never spent time on Tybee Island, and WOW. It was so refreshing. Here are some images from their beautiful day. Congrats, Tim & Courtney!

I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some of the most talented comedians in the country. Denver has a thriving comedy scene, with a cast of characters that keep me laughing and blushing constantly. I love being involved in their process. They are usually up for trying anything, and looking ridiculous for an amazing picture. It's always an adventure.

Ben Roy, Studio 500.

Lori Callahan, Chris Atencio, Brian Kellen, Kevin Fitgerald, Rick Kearns, Denver.

Josh Blue, Studio 500.
