I have 2 simple beliefs

  • Memories and milestones are special and should be fun to capture

  • Right now is exactly the right time for a photoshoot no matter what time of year or phase of life you are in

About Me - Crystal Anthony

I am a Missouri and Illinois native. I grew up next to the Mississippi River in both Hannibal, MO (home of Mark Twain) and just on the other side of the river in Barry, IL (a small rural farming town). I now split my time between NW Arkansas and Central Illinois. Though it’s hard for me to admit, I have 2 boys that are a Junior and Senior in high school. Time sure does fly! Because of them, I understand completely how difficult it can be to convince kids of any age that pictures are actually fun (bribery works well).

I’ve been a professional photographer for just over 5 years now. My specialty is capturing images of people…no matter if you’re a graduating senior, wanting low key pictures of you or your family, or are getting married. It’s my strong belief that you are exactly perfect the way you are today and shouldn’t wait to get pictures taken.

My goal for 2023 is to add newborn photography as a specialty for my clients. If you’re reading this and are expecting a little one this year, please message me for a discounted newborn session (expires Dec 2023).

Thank You

To my past clients, I’m honored you chose me as your photographer and can’t wait to capture more of your life events!
