About Us

Hi! My name is Crystal Molina. I am the owner and photographer for
Crystal Clear Photography.

Photography is not something that I always knew I wanted to do. I
wish I could say it was. After years of tossing around the idea God
finally brought me back around to it, this time giving me a new
perspective and appreciation.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Throughout the course of a life we all gain new perspectives on things.
Life and our position in it, changes. At least it has for me.
I fell in love and married my husband when I was 19 years old. We
have been married for 9 years now.
Love and marriage change your perspective. You see the world
differently when this happens to you. And as you grow together as a
couple, as long as you are willing, you will continue to grow and
change, thus changing how you see things.

Babies change your perspective too. My husband and I are blessed to
have two beautiful little boys. Ian and Isaiah are twins who look
nothing alike. February, 2006 they made their grand entrance into
our lives. When the doctor told us we were expecting twins he
preceded the news by telling us that what he was about to say would
change our lives. Boy was he ever telling the truth!!!
...But every bit for the better.

AND ANOTHER NEW PERSPECTIVE
Anyone who has children knows this... for those who don't, let me
explain by saying that before I became a parent holidays and special
events had lost a lot of the luster they had held during my childhood.
They were still special but not like they were when I was a child. I
wondered sometimes if I would ever have those feelings again. I was
so surprised when, during the time I was pregnant, I began to feel
excitement again for things the way I had as a child. I couldn't wait to
see my children experience things for the first time. Now I get excited
every Spring at the thought of going to the zoo. Seeing the wonder in
their eyes when they experience something new is better than
anything I experienced as a child.

At the time that we found out we were expecting two we knew that I
wouldn't be going back to work. The cost of childcare would have
taken every bit of what I made at the time.
This was a very scary time for us because it didn't look like we would be
able to make it on paper. It took a lot of trusting God and knowing
that He is faithful to His Word.

During this same time and shortly after my boys were born God
began to bring me back around to photography. It started with the
thought that this is something I can do to make a little extra money
while still being home with my boys. From there it grew into a love.
Just like when I met my husband and fell in love with him, and when I
had my children and fell in love with them, I had fallen in love again...
this time with photography. I had a new perspective again...

...And this is where you come in. I love capturing these same special
times for others. These are the precious memories that make up a life
and I love being a part of them and being able to provide a visual of
these special moments for you to enjoy for years to come.

Now I'd like to introduce you to my family.
