    Crystal did a great job, with awesome attention to detail and very professional and efficient work. The shoot came together on short notice and Crystal worked with us to find the needed gear and crew. I'd recommend her for any doc or interview shoot.

    Crystal was amazing to work with. She communicated very well throughout, and was able to capture everything asked of her as well as get paperwork signed by others who joined the shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
