I am a lifestyle photographer drawn to the real moments. The ones that happen when no one’s posing. A quiet look. Dust flying as a horse runs. Kids laughing in a field. A cowboy mid-ride. Those are the scenes that move me — and that’s what I want to give back to you.
I specialize in Western lifestyle and natural storytelling, whether it’s at a rodeo, around the ranch, or during a quiet moment at home. I also offer portrait work such as senior photos, but even then, I’m chasing something honest. You do you — and I’ll show you what you didn’t even know was there.
Photography, for me, is about perspective. It’s about the way I see the shot finished in my head before it’s even taken. You can teach editing — but that creative eye, that feel — that’s something different. I want your photos to feel like you… But unmistakably like a Crystal Burns photo.
I chose to share these images because I struggle with sitting still. i am always doing something and my partner in crime, whiskey - is typically with me.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
-Romans 12:2 (NIV)
