I Thought that day would be awful had three kids -12 months, 8, and 11, outdoors in the afternoon when the youngest needed a nap. Crystal was great worked with the kids better than any photographer I have been to. She got great shots and exactly what I wanted. There were allot of pictures and I ended up buying some of all. There were to many great shots. Have already booked another appoint. and will not be going anywhere else for my kids memories. Great Work!!!!!

Taking a fourteen month grandchild for pictures can be quite a chore! Crystal’s studio was roomy and pleasant and equipped to deal with children. Her work was professional and shots were great even with an active baby!

I cannot explain how I felt when I looked at our wedding portraits. I am in love with every single one. I’ve had so many compliments from our friends and family on what a great job you done. I was told I was a more relaxed bride than anyone they had seen, but I felt very at ease while you took the photos! I am recommending you to anyone and everyone; especially for their wedding day! Thank you so much for the time and effort you have obviously put into our portraits.

I wanted to tell you what a great job I think you did. I love the pictures, particularly the candid shots of the children and the black and white of Ashley and Grayson. The background is a lovely idea, and I really commend you for a set of photographs we’ll enjoy for many years.

I cannot begin to tell you the emotions I felt when our children gave us the picture you had taken of them and their families. It was absolutely gorgeous and words cannot do it justice. The barn setting and tractor suited perfect, as they were all raised on a farm. You did a top job and showed your expertise in photography. God has blessed you with the ability to be on top in your

First off let me start off by saying the pictures you took were fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with them. You made me feel welcomed from the moment I stepped in your studio. You were wonderful to my kids and me. I am very pleased with you, your work, and your prices. I have already recommended you to my family and friends. Feel free to contact me for a reference. I can not wait to get the photos and hang them on my wall and give them out. Thanks again, you did a great job and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

We have found CIP to be an extremely professional and quality focused business. We have used Crystal’s services for a number of projects for our company: annual reports, newspaper advertisements, trade show/exhibit board design & layout, and photography services at company sponsered events. I have been truly impressed with her skills. Her ability to listen to the description of our desired outcomes and to always excede those expectations is remarkable.

I was very pleased with the service from Crystal Image Photography. Both my portrait and wedding photographs turned out excellent and I received prompt turn-around time on both. I’ve had great comments from family and friends on the great quality of the pictures and have recommended Crystal’s services to several people in the short time since the wedding. I wouldn’t have changed a thing in regards to my wedding portrait and wedding day picture experience.

I have enjoyed working with Crystal Vandegrift on several occasions over the last two years. She has done event photography, scenic work, sports shots, and photograph retouching for the Public Relations Office. I have always found her reliable, pleasant, accommodating, and highly professional. The quality of her work is excellent. I recommend her with confidence.

Crystal was a calm presence throughout the whirlwind of activity and excitement on our wedding day. With her camera, she was somehow able to capture the magic of that day. We treasure each picture and appreciate her talent as a photographer.

I would just like to take a moment to comment on the services rendered unto me for my Wedding Day event (June 2000). As with any Wedding Day event, you want your day to be special and you want to look back on that day and have great quality photos upon which to reflect. Crystal had everything under control. She always had an encouraging word for the Bride-to-Be. I am very camera shy, but, somehow, Crystal knew exactly what to do and what to say to get me to smile and pose for the camera. As with most weddings, everyone knows the old saying, "Without fail, something will go wrong on your wedding day." Well, even though I know what the ring bearer and the flower girls were doing during the ceremony, Crystal was able to capture a "Picture Perfect Wedding Day". I just want to say thank you once again for everything.
