Well first of all…my name is Crystal Saly not Crystal Pixel. But how awesome would that be?

I am a full time mother of two wonderful children! They are my inspiration and my everything. I am happy to say that my husband and I have been happily married for 10 years and still going strong! Without him, I don’t know where I would be. I also have two Shiba Inus one named Spritie and the other named Seiko. Both bring lots of doggie joy in our lives.

All my life I have loved all things electronic. My dad started me off early in computers and from that point forward it STUCK. I am also proud to say that I served in the USAF for a few years and gained a lot of experience being a mechanic. One thing I have learned in life…is that “Tomorrow is never a promise” and we all should live our lives to the fullest and “Learn to Love…because it really is the only thing we take with us when we die“. I want to send my love to all my Family and Friends who have supported me through my endeavors! Thank you for always being there!

Photography
There is something awesome and great about being able to pick up a camera and be artistic with it. Its almost like painting a picture but… a million times easier then painting…lol (considering I used to paint)

I started to get into photography about 5 years ago and started shooting weddings about 4 years ago. I truly enjoy shooting photos for couples and love to see the final product. My favorite type of photography happens to be weddings. Although it can be a tiring job, I LOVE doing it. Being a part of a wedding and seeing it from the beginning to end, truly is a blessing in itself. But having the opportunity to document it on camera – is an honor.

Website Design & Development
I have many years experience designing high quality web sites, flash animations, logos and print materials. When I was younger I had a strong passion for the graphic design by building websites as a hobby. This hobby then evolved into freelancing opportunities which then lead to my long awaited career as a Designer and Developer. In 2006 I achieved my Bachelors Degree in Visual Communications: Digital Design, graduating top of the class as Summa Cum Laude. Now married and a mother of 2 children, I work at home as a Creative Director for Visualscope LLC. While doing additional freelance design and development when the opportunity arises.
