Who is this lady behind the camera?

Crystal Justine Photography

I'm a mom! I have three wild boys and have learned to embrace the chaos of being a boy mom. My oldest is 13 years old, and my twins are 6. Yes, you read that right—I have twins! Let me tell you, having twins is an adventure. The first year with double the diapers, double the feedings, and double the crying was overwhelming, to say the least. Just as we rolled into the toddler stage, the COVID lockdown started. Trapped at home with twin toddlers and another young child was truly survival of the fittest.

​

When people tell me they are worried about their photoshoot because they think their child is too rambunctious, I remind them that I am the chief monkey at my wild zoo and well-versed in the chaos children can bring. My rowdy children have prepared me well for yours.​

In between the kids' soccer practice, mountains of laundry, and editing, I enjoy watching reality TV. Survivor, Love is Blind, and Amazing Race are all in my top five, but my all-time favorite is The Bachelor. I am a diehard Bachelor fan. We have watch parties for the premiere, and we even have a Bachelor Fantasy League where we draft contestants and see who has the most points at the end of the season. Why should the football fantasy leagues have all the fun?

It’s a funny thing to sit down and figure out what to write about yourself, but here it goes!

Family is my heart and soul. I have a big family, and we have some fun times when we all get together. We have an annual camping trip, where all the cousins and family attend. I enjoy fishing, dirt biking, floating on the lake, playing cards, and sitting by the campfire. Being out in nature always rejuvenates me.​

​

Oh, and a fun fact about me—I don’t have a green thumb at all and somehow manage to kill all my plants! I even killed my cactus.

​​​​Christmas! I am obsessed with Christmas. It is my favourite time of year, and I start decorating at the beginning of November. Every square inch of my house is covered with festive decor—it’s such a magical time of year. I want to share my love of Christmas, which is why I spend half the year planning my elaborate Christmas Mini sessions.

​

Photography is more than a job to me; it's a passion and a way to connect with families, capturing their unique stories and moments of joy. I look forward to meeting you and your family, and helping you capture your own wonderful memories. After all, every family has its own story, and I can't wait to help tell yours.
