Hello everyone!

We’ve been a tad bit quiet lately, but for good reason. We are coming up fairly quickly on our little bundle of joy’s due date!

Just a quick update on my maternity leave; I plan to start maternity leave from photography the first of June to allow us some time to finish up last minute things and get our house prepared for bringing baby home.

If you have any gift certificates, or have purchased a “pay what you can” session and need to get it booked, please message me so we can get you on the calendar. I only have a couple weekends in May that I am available prior to my maternity leave.

I’ll be picking things back up somewhere around the end of September, just in time for the beautiful fall colors for fall photos! However, with having a new baby and a family, I will be limiting my time behind the camera to one weekend a month for a while. I’ll try to get as many sessions booked during these weekends, but need to allow myself time to focus on my little family as much as possible for a while.

Thank you all for the support and business, and we cannot wait to share some sweet photos of our little family with you soon! 🩵💙

Hey y’all!

First, I want to sincerely apologize for being silent for a while recently. I have been so happily overwhelmed by the amount of support we received for our pay what you can sessions to help contribute towards our IVF!

Second, I would like to give a huge shout out to each and everyone of you who have booked sessions, or supported our IVF journey in anyway! I am still a little behind on getting galleries out, but working very diligently to get them done as quickly as I can!

Lastly, we need your help again! As many of you may know, we have officially started our first cycle of IVF. Unfortunately, we very quickly maxed out our lifetime pharmacy benefits with our first order of medications. Here’s where you can help; we need to order additional meds and they are EXPENSIVE! Since our pharmacy benefits are maxed, we now have to self pay for any additional medications. Each extra vial of meds is roughly $923, and get us 2 and a half shots.

I am trying to run a gift certificate special to help cover AT LEAST 1 vial of medication to help us get through to our appointment next week Monday.

Here’s the special; $175 session gift certificate for $150; with EVERY gift certificate purchase you will receive a FREE mini session, valued at $75.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our dream of having a baby come true. Please like and share this post to help boost audience, in case anyone is looking for a gift idea! ❤️

I just wanted to give my current clients a quick update regarding your gallery. I’ve gotten a little behind schedule due to some unexpected work obligations and being under the weather recently. I truly apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause.

Please know that I am working diligently to complete each and every one of your photos and give them the time and attention they deserve. Your galleries means so much to me, and I want to make sure it’s delivered with the quality and care you expect and deserve

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding—I truly appreciate it! ❤️

Crystal,
CJ Photography

✨ Sneak Peek ✨

On 09.13.25, Roger and Stephanie said “I do” surrounded by love, laughter, and the most beautiful memories. 💍

I first met these two last year during their engagement session, and we had such a fun time together that I just knew their wedding day would be nothing short of amazing—and it did NOT disappoint! From start to finish, their joy and love for one another shined through in every single moment.

Roger & Stephanie, thank you so much for trusting me to capture such a special chapter in your lives. I was beyond honored to be part of your wedding day, and I look forward to documenting many more of your sweet milestones in the years ahead. ❤️

Here’s just a little sneak peek of your magical day—more to come soon! ✨

✨ Wow… I am truly overwhelmed (in the best way) by the amount of love and support I’ve received for my Pay What You Can sessions. Thank you to each and every one of you who has reached out, booked a session, or shared kind words. Your support means more than I can ever put into words, especially as every session helps us move one step closer on our IVF journey. 💕

I also want to sincerely apologize if I haven’t gotten back to your message yet—please know I see you, and I am working on responding as quickly as I can. I appreciate your patience with me during this busy season.

📸 At this time, I am currently booking:
✨ December 2025 Pay What You Can sessions
✨ 2026 Pay What You Can sessions

Thank you again for lifting us up with your encouragement and support—it fills my heart with so much gratitude. 🥹💛

**EDIT**
This special is now closed; thank you all or your support!

✨❤️ Big Announcement ❤️✨

As many of you know, my husband and I are beginning our journey with IVF this October. It’s a road filled with hope, prayers, and big dreams for our future. To help cover some of the personal costs, I’m offering Pay What You Can Mini Sessions through the end of this year.

📸 The minimum is $35, due as a non-refundale deposit to secure your date; but if you feel led to give more, it will mean the world to us. Every session includes at least 10 edited images, and more importantly, every single one brings us closer to growing our family.

This isn’t just about photos—it’s about love, faith, and community. By booking a session, you’re not only capturing your own memories but also helping us build ours.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting CJ Photography and our journey to parenthood. 💕

📅 Sessions available now through December 31st. Message me to book!bef

✨ Sneak Peek | Isaiah + Delaney ✨

This weekend I had the honor of capturing Isaiah and Delaney’s engagement session, and it was worth every mile of the hour-and-a-half drive to their location! 🌿💍

Their evening session was filled with soft golden light, laughter, and sweet moments that show just how much love they share. This is just a little glimpse into their beautiful story—I can’t wait to share more from their gallery soon!

Congratulations, Isaiah & Delaney—your love truly shines through every photo. 💕
