Whispering Wild Photography

12/15/2025

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to officially close this photography page.

The last couple of years have been so much fun, and I am incredibly thankful for every family, couple, and moment I was trusted to capture. Your support meant more to me than you probably know, and I’ll always be grateful for the love shown during this season of my life.

Recently, I’ve come to realize that while photography brought me joy, I was never fully finished grieving a season of my life that was taken from me very suddenly in 2018. A season where I found so much freedom, happiness, and identity riding motorcycles in California, learning everything I could about them, and feeling so alive. Ironically, that passion is also what led me to meet my husband, and it will always be a part of our story.

Life looks very different now. I have a full family, full hands, and a full heart. I know that season will never look the same again, but it doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. It’s something my husband and I can talk about, dream about, and work toward together in a way that fits the life we’ve built.

This isn’t a goodbye filled with sadness, but one filled with gratitude and clarity. Thank you for walking alongside me during this chapter. It truly meant the world to me.

With love,
Crystel

What a beautiful day at Sandbridge Beach for the Best Day Foundation event! 🌊☀️
I had the privilege of photographing this incredible day filled with joy, teamwork, and so much heart.

I'll be in Virginia Beach next weekend, August 8th-9th! I'm heading down to capture some amazing moments at the Best Day event, and I'd love to extend an invitation for anyone looking to get some stunning photos done.

If you're going to be in the area and want to take advantage of the beautiful scenery, let's connect! I'm especially keen to do some golden hour sessions on the beach, that light is just magical!

Send me a message to book your slot or if you have any questions. Let's create some beautiful memories together! ✨

Branding sessions are definitely a favorite when I also get to taste the goodies!

I’m ready to open up my books more regularly! ✨
