ElCrow Photography and Design

ElCrow Photography and Design Let me know if I can help you capture a special moment for you and your family or an upcoming event! Why Photography, and why now?

I have been in printing for over 30 years and have always admired great pictures. Photography was always something I wanted to do, but not something I was willing to invest in or take the time to learn. After a couple of meetings with some friends, a couple of John Maxwell books, and a friend that had a cheap camera, the timing seemed right. As soon as I started I fell in love with it. I always ha

ve been the shutterbug of whatever group I am with and I love capturing important times in my life with selfies. Everyone knows this about me, and I hope they realize that when the camera goes up, it is because I want to remember that moment. Things have taken off from there and I hope they don’t slow down any time soon. Nothing makes me happier than knowing a picture I took brought a smile to someone’s face, and knowing that picture will be around long after I am gone. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to working with you in the future!

If I haven’t said how blessed I am to be able to do what I do every day with the most amazing clients and organizations, let me be very clear. I love every bit of it. Sometimes it’s hard keeping up with a work, life, home, fun, side hustle work balance, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It has afforded me some amazing opportunities and some invaluable friendships. So Thank you to everyone that got us to this point. I may get down in my feels every once in a while, but it is never lost on me just how fortunate I am!!

If you missed Courtney Patton and Jamie Lin Wilson at the Twisted Tree Music Hall, I'm sorry. What an amazing show. I love love 2 people shows where they have great stage banter and do stage work. And then add 2 of the prettiest voices in the mix and you have one heck of a show. Some people drove 2-8 hours for this one. Thanks again to Mike for bringing these artists to our town!!!

As a photographer, one of the scariest things that can happen is to have eye issues. Tbh, this last issue has me shaking in my boots a little. I get in to see the ophthalmologist next week after lots of begging and hopefully I can get it taken care of. As for now everything is just a blurry double vision mess. So if my edits look a little off, no they don’t lol.
Fingers crossed they figure out what’s up and I can get back to normal.

Yet another beautiful night for a Pageant. The Morgan County Fair Pageant was amazing as it always is. Ive said it before and I will always say it. Huge congrats to all of the contestants. It takes so much courage to put yourself out there, I could never do it. So many more photos coming, but these will have to do for now. To those that purchased the photo package, thank you so much for supporting local small business. I will make a post here when the gallery is complete!

I worked with Lilly in 2025 at a flowy dress sunrise shoot- those of you that know me, know I am definitely not a morning person, so I was super excited to be able to get her in her dance element this year. Btw, I love this hallway!! Usually have to photoshop out some folks, but it’s a vibe!

Next up is the always amazing Alyssa Russo ! We shot some dance pics last year together and I wanted to try some posed ones this year. Once she told me her outfit, I knew exactly where I wanted to take them. My goal at shutterfest this year was try and find new and interesting spots, this one wasn’t new, but I hadn’t lit it or shot it this way before
