Crystal and her second shooter Curtis were a DREAM to work with!! We hired her for our engagement photos and for our wedding, which was this past weekend (06/20/2026). She was very responsive, candid, professional, and above all is a very talented photographer. Our engagement photos came out gorgeous and we can't wait to see the photos from our wedding!! Highly recommend.

About CMB Photography
⚠️ BEFORE REACHING OUT ⚠️ — Thumbtack charges me for every inquiry, so I truly appreciate you reaching out only if you’re seriously considering booking. I'm really quick to respond and the pricing listed reflects my starting rate for individual sessions. Thanks so much for your understanding! If you’re looking for photos that feel natural, effortless, and truly you… you’re in the right place. A lot of my clients come to me saying: “I feel awkward in photos” or “I don’t know how to pose.” That’s exactly where I come in. I guide you through the entire session so you feel comfortable, confident, and actually enjoy the experience—no stiff or overly posed moments. I'm based in Temecula, serving Southern California beaches, scenic outdoor locations, and studio sessions.
Reviews
Crystel is absolutely amazing! I just want to say she stepped in at the last minute when I had to switch photographers because of comfort issues with the original choice. Honestly, it was the best decision I could have made. Our surprise engagement photoshoot at Sunset Cliff was made truly special by her. She arrived an hour early to scout the location, identify the best spots, and even suggested areas that would look better. Every photo she sent us turned out beautifully. I highly recommend her for any photography needs. Although we’re from the East Coast, if we’re ever return to the West Coast and need a photoshoot, I will definitely reach out to Crystel
We cannot recommend Crystal highly enough! Our photos are stunning, and she was able to capture our wedding day in such a beautiful, authentic way that feels completely us ❤️ Despite our wedding being very small and intimate, Crystal made the experience feel incredibly special, she was amazing to work with from start to finish and we were so grateful to have her be part of the day with us. Crystal took so much care with our pictures, the artistry, and the final images perfectly reflect the love, joy, and atmosphere of the day. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and will cherish these photos forever. We would not hesitate to work with Crystal again in the future to capture special moments and family celebrations. Highly, highly recommend!
Crystal photographed our intimate wedding ceremony in Balboa Park and we are so happy with the photos! She was super responsive and communicative leading up to the day, and had a very calm yet professional demeanor which made me feel relaxed and led to very organic photos. They came out amazing. She really knew how to capture the memories we wanted and I’m so happy we were able to find Crystal, highly recommend.
Crystal was amazing and our family photos turned out so beautifully. She truly captured some amazing shots of my family. There are too many we loved so we are actually purchasing the whole album. I will definitely use her for future family photos.
Crystal was very prompt in reaching out, extremely professional and worked to accommodate my client mini sessions on short notice. She was also very personable, I would definitely work with her again.
I had the best time working with Crystal! She was efficient and professional every step of the way. The terms of our agreement were very clear and she went above and beyond in what she delivered. Totally recommend and I'm excited to work with her on our next project!
We were in town to celebrate my parents’ 50th anniversary and wanted to do a family photo session. I reached out to Crystal and she was quick to respond and was very professional. Her pricing was clear cut and she was easy to communicate with. The whole process was very easy and the photos she took are absolutely amazing. Beautiful work! I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Crystal!!
I can’t say enough good things about CMB Photography. She was responsive immediately after my injury, got to know my family, and made us so comfortable during our shoot. Not only that, but her work is quality and her return time is extremely fast. She was also accommodating to our needs as a family. We had such a wonderful experience with her and plan to book again in the future
Crystal was awesome! She did a great job helping find a location for a proposal, was punctual responsive and easy to work with!
She has an amazing and warm personality with empathy and also very professional. I will still want to hire her when our baby comes😊✊. Thank you Crystal! You are amazing! 🤩
Crystal provided a comfortable photo session with her kindness, professionalism, and confidence in what she does. She did graduation photos. I intend to hire her again in the future for family photos
Crystal was very sweet and accommodating as we changed meeting location last minute. She was patient and stayed longer than originally planned. The pictures turned out wonderful for my son’s graduation photos and I bought all of them! I would definitely recommend Crystal!
