  • A mother, grandmother, but first… a WOMAN!

    Being a woman is hard. Too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, too slutty, a prude... on and on it goes. Being shamed for everything we do..and usually by each other. Lately I feel “too old.” Then every once in awhile you meet a real woman that gets you. That celebrates you and reminds you that you’re perfect the way you are. This picture is me celebrating that I really am exactly where I’m supposed to be right now and feeling really comfortable doing exactly what I want. Thank you so so much to @cristalsawatzky For capturing me entering my grandmother years in just the way I would want! A mother, a grandmother, but first...a woman! Lately I have been surrounded by the best kinds of women! The best kind! They lift you up, they give you courage, they remind you that you’re beautiful. They support you when you’re down and an even greater gift is that they allow you to support them, when they feel vulnerable or scared or less-than. Ladies I’m here for you. I’m naked cause I want to be. If you don’t like it, or you want to judge go right on ahead. I’ll be over here where you can’t touch me!

  • Warm your heart, forever....

    The thought of doing a boudoir session terrified me. I am quite private — parading around half naked didn’t appeal to me! However, something about Cristal’s social media posts were drawing me in. Next thing I knew, I was booking a session. I arrived so nervous and felt like I was just going through the motions to not disappoint Cristal, but she is intuitive and could sense my uneasiness. Next thing you know, I was engaged and loving our session. Cristal is gifted. Her photography skills are clearly strong but her gifts also lie in her ability to connect with you, to truly ‘see’ you, and to draw out your radiance. Her artistic touches, combined with an empowering and loving energy creates something magical. Yes, you’ll walk away with beautiful photos but, more importantly, you’ll create a memory that will warm your heart, forever. I often look at my photos just to remind myself that I am ‘that’ girl as well. Not just the wife, mother, and business owner that occupies each day.

  • Game changer for my SELF ESTEEM

    Words can not describe the experience you get with Cristal!!! Like truly a game changer for my self esteem not gonna lie turning 50 was a mental battle for me! I had seen Cristal’s work before and I noticed that every single image every single woman looked amazingly gorgeous.. so feeling deflated wth my soon to be 50 year old body I was like I’m gonna do this!! I knew from the very first email from Cristal that she wasn’t only amazingly talented but was an amazing human who loved making women look fantastic !

    Cristal walks you through every step of your amazing journey. Then you finally get your special day and get to meet Cristal and Loni both beautiful souls that make you feel like a million bucks from the moment you arrive… Loni transforms your hair and make up into a masterpiece while Cristal organizes your clothes and jewelry and shoes. Then the magic begins they both make you feel so comfortable and trust me you will laugh a lot ….it’s like being on a date with your best friends. After having 3 kids going through menopause and body changing into some sort of tele tubby I was a little self conscious… but Cristal knows exactly how to get you to position your body To hide anything you don’t love …. I promise you ladies you will not regret treating yourself to this experience whether it’s just for yourself or a treat for someone special it’s worth every penny! Then you get an invite back for the reveal that will just blow your mind.

  • I feel powerful!

    Boudoir photo shoot with Cristal is not only a photo shoot but one of a kind of experience. The moment you book the session with her, she’s with you every step of the way. From assisting with outfits, tips, postures to the end of the outcome. The moment you looked in the studio, you feel welcome & treated like a goddess that you are!! It was an empowering experience for me. This sexual empowerment experience turned into spiritual. I am more confident & comfortable in my skin. I feel powerful. I recommend to every women to try this experience with Cristal. Thanks my love.
