Self portrait of Crystal Gonsalves from Forget Me Not Photography sitting on chair in a meadow at Stevens Coolidge Estate in Andover, MA.

Maternity, motherhood, wedding, newborn, family, senior, and couple's photographer, based in the Concord area.


Hello! I'm Crystal. It's nice to meet you!


I am a philocalist; "lover and seeker of all things beauty." I aspire to capture the beauty in your life and IN YOU. 


A photograph laments, “Forget me not” and a camera is an exposure of daily moments not to forget.


"You have the privilege to give a nod to your values today by making a photograph." (Marie Masse) My camera is an aperture of hope, peace, and beauty and the values I wish to portray in my images.


I am a wife and mother of five children. Jesus pursuer. Lover of pine trees, books, and all things country. Teacher, shopper and a cleaner. Flavored coffee enthusiast. I am the coordinator and teacher of the English as a Second Language Program and Sunday School ministry at my church. I also teach photography to both adults and youth.


Photography is my best distraction. He is the Light, I am the film.

"We do not want to merely see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something which we can hardly be put into words; to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it."
