Nice to meet you!

I'm Crystal

A parent and child share joyful moments together outdoors during an autumn photoshoot.

Welcome to Tesoro Photography! 


Where does the name come from you may ask? A special nickname my late father had for me. I was his Tesoro, Spanish for Treasure. Capturing your family memories for me, is capturing tiny treasures for you to remember and cherish.


I look forward to meeting your family, and creating meaningful portrait art for you to treasure always!

I got professional headshots updated. Crystal gave good direction (which I appreciated a lot) and was thoughtful with the lighting and I liked the result. It was easy to get the photos afterward. Great price too.

Crystal is an incredibly talented photographer and amazing person. My biggest compliment is how great she is with children. My kiddos are typically very timid and hesitant in front of a camera. She's able to bring them out of their shell, make them feel comfortable and bring out their personalities. And take the best photos of them. If you are looking for someone to capture some sweet memories, Crystal is your girl!

We had a fall mini session with Crystal and enjoyed every minute of our experience with her. This was our first time doing family pictures, and I didn’t know what to expect. Crystal made us feel so comfortable with preparing for the photo shoot and while we were taking photos. She helped us find color coordinating outfits that made the pictures! We had so much fun at our photo shoot and we plan on doing another photo shoot soon. We love how the photographs came out-so professional! I am blown away.


We highly recommend Tesoro Photography!

I highly recommend Crystal. We had our pregnancy and newborn shoot done. Crystal is truly wonderful from the beginning of the booking, during the shoot, until you get the final edited pictures. She’ll recommend outfits that you’ll wear to go with the style on what you want your pictures to look like. Crystal also answered all our questions and concerns. If there are any ideas or images you want for the shoot, Crystal will do her best to make sure you get those shots.

For the newborn shoot, we were very impressed on how patient and caring she was with our baby.

The final edited pictures are truly beautiful.

We will definitely book with Crystal again.

We’ve had family photos taken twice with Crystal—once at Busse Woods and once at Lilacia Park—and both experiences were fantastic! She knew exactly where to go in each location to capture the most beautiful shots. Crystal is amazing with kids and takes a great mix of poses, both individual and group. She’s also incredibly organized and uses an online scheduling site, which makes communication super easy and stress-free. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for stunning family photos and a smooth, enjoyable experience!

Crystal was very accomodating and scheduled us for an in-home newborn session. She was so patient with my newborn and even though it took time to get her sleepy, Crystal did not rush. We even got some great shots with my toddler! We were very happy with the final gallery. Highly recommend!
