Crystal Whiteaker

Crystal Whiteaker is a joyful, passionate brand and lifestyle photographer and brand/inclusivity consultant, for impactful brands and thoughtful people who want to make a difference. Crystal has 15 years of strategic, creative, process driven experience across multiple industries; including work in nonprofits and high-level executive recruiting. She is a self-described "corporate trained, creative hippie." Feeling a desire to connect with people on a more genuine level, Crystal started Crystal Lily Photography in 2015 and grew it to a brand with clients across the country, including Los Angeles, New York, and Miami. She puts a strong focus on core values to create impactful photography, mentoring, and consulting experiences to help clients find clarity, confidence, and direction in their businesses. In addition to working with impactful brands, Crystal also takes on a select number of weddings to photograph each year. Crystal believes in giving back so a portion of her profits are donated annually to organizations that provide resources and support for women and the LGBTQ+ community. As an extension of the philanthropic element of her brand, Crystal is offering portrait sessions to trauma survivors as an opportunity to highlight who they are by giving them control over their own image, while rebuilding their confidence through photos intended to represent visual I am statements. Outside of her work, Crystal enjoys practicing yoga, spending time in nature, connecting with people, and exploring new places.
