For years, and to this day, I’m much more comfortable standing behind the camera than in front of it. 🫣

I’d much rather be capturing your story than sharing mine.

But I’ve also realized something important…

When you invite a photographer into some of life’s biggest moments—welcoming a new baby, celebrating your senior year, growing your business, or gathering your family together for those annual family portraits—you deserve to know the person behind the lens. 📷

So… hi! 👋

I’m Crystal, the owner of Kruse PhotoGraphics. 📷

Whether I’m photographing a family, helping a local business tell their story, or capturing a milestone, my goal is always the same:

Create images that become part of your story.

Thank you again to Patty - Solis Photography - and Kamie - Wittrock Photography - for helping me step outside my comfort zone for some much needed photos of. . .me! 🤗 📷

Shoutout to Beauty Lounge Glamour Studio for getting me "camera ready" yet still be "me" in a sense yet - GLAM. 🤣

You may have noticed there wasn't a post for Feature Friday this past week. . . and there may not be one this coming week.

The reason? LIFE! ❤️

I’ve been spending my time catching up on client galleries, checking off a long list of everyday responsibilities, and trying to make the most of summer with my family.

My girls are growing up far too quick, and as the summer days begin to slip away, I’m trying to soak in as many of these little moments as I can.

As a photographer, I know just how quickly seasons of life pass, and I don’t want to miss this one and it's about time I start documenting our own memories too. 📷

Thank you for your patience as I balance serving my amazing clients while also being present for my own family. I’ll be back to highlighting more incredible local businesses soon!

Until then, I hope you’re finding time to slow down and enjoy your own summer memories, too. ☀️📸

Throwback Thursday! 💙

When your youngest "employee" works for snacks... 😂

Several years ago, my daughter stepped into the role of "patient" while I photographed images for Harrisburg Family Chiropractic. She took her modeling job very seriously...🤨

Looking back now, it's amazing how quickly the years have flown by!

I'm so thankful for opportunities like these that allow me to help local businesses tell their story while creating memories with my own family along the way.

Some photo sessions become more than just work—they become memories. 🤗📷

💙 Behind every local business is a team dedicated to serving its community.

Grateful for the opportunity to photograph Harrisburg Family Chiropractic and help showcase the people behind the practice, both chiropractic care and massage therapy. I can't wait to capture updated portraits later this year! ❤️

Here's to supporting the local businesses that help keep our community healthy and thriving!
