Story Time with Cristy Cross

How did you get started in your business?

It’s always a fun story to tell, and in July, I had the opportunity to share my story.

I started my business with not know exactly how I was going to do it, but I was determined to make it happen.

One thing I forgot to mention is, a several years back, I almost gave up my photography business. It was a scary moment when we realized my business needed to make more money to pay bills and it wasn’t.

I think that scare lit a fire under me and rebooted my business and thankfully here we are 15 yrs and going strong.

Are you starting a business, interested in starting a business or have questions about what I do?

Listen to the end of the video for the Q and A part, but also feel free to leave any questions in the comments here and I’ll get back with you.

Hey Mom! What Do You Wear for Your Next Family Session?

A friend recently asked me to share “what to wear” for family sessions and these are my top recommendations that I give to my clients.

Take note and save this so you can come back to it for your next family session.

What outfit do you love most?
For me, it’s the oversized sweater and pleated shirt. It just screams beautiful-cozy.
