About Crystal

Hi, I’m Crystal, a portrait photographer based in Apex, North Carolina.

Since 2011, I’ve been capturing the people and moments that matter most, from growing families and milestone celebrations to high school seniors stepping into their next chapter. As a mom of two boys, I know how quickly the years pass, and I believe photos should preserve the people you love exactly as they are in this season of life.

My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable experience with beautiful, natural images you’ll love looking back on for years to come.

What People Are Saying

It was an absolute pleasure working with Crystal Anne Portraits ! Crystal and Misty made the whole photoshoot process for our newborn feel like a breeze. They were very gentle with our baby and made sure that he’s comfortable - total baby whisperers! I must add that they have the cutest collection of newborn outfits and props. The final photos looked fantastic and Crystal was very prompt with delivering the photos on time. We’re very happy with the whole experience. We’ll definitely be going back. :)

Crystal is a phenomenal photographer. She has been the only person to get my 10 month old daughter to smile and giggle during a photoshoot. The pictures turned out fabulously, and she was very flexible with rescheduling due to illness. Crystal is a true professional, and I highly recommend her services. Can't wait to rebook with her in the fall for our family photoshoot and Christmas card pictures!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Crystal for our maternity photoshoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Crystal impressed us with her warm demeanor and exceptional professionalism. She was incredibly patient throughout the session, making us feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way.
