"HOW WE SPEND OUR DAYS, IS HOW WE SPEND OUR LIVES."

Annie Dillard


Seacoast Southern NH Family Newborn Photographer


Photography allows us to hold an image, a memory in our hands. Photographs are a heritage we leave to our children's children. Photos are a time capsule of milestones and moment keepers.


My uncle was a talented, hobbyist film photographer who captured such artistic images of my family and his own wife and children. His love for photography and capturing the beauty of a family illuminated my heart and inspired me to photograph. I see the importance of family photographs when my oldest daughter looks through her baby book and at the end of one's life when a photograph is clung to. Photographs CELEBRATE LIFE and yours is worth the party.


Forget Me Not Photography specializes in home and lifestyle family and newborn photography, where the woman is the center of my camera's eye. With home family photography, we document reading to your children, baking, playing in the yard, praying, tickle tortures, and so much more. Home is where the heart is because that is where your family is.

With outdoor sessions, we photograph in the places that are HOME AWAY FROM HOME, that make your spirits soar with joy, and where you feel like you are the star in the best movie of all time.


Being a mother of five children, I know what a mother wants photographed; the dimpled hand around a lock of your hair, the little arms wrapped like a shawl around your husband's neck, and the Cheerios all over the kitchen floor. Yes, even that...someday you will miss that.

I will see your family with the eyes of a mother because I AM ONE.

I understand the legacy you want to leave for your children with photographs.



Motherhood Sessions

Not only do I photograph family and newborn shoots, but motherhood sessions, where mothers are alone with their children in the home and the great outdoors. Sessions for the mothers who deserve to be celebrated and be the center of my camera's eye because they have been the center of their children's heart and world. Motherhood shoots are the golden hour of my photographer heart.

 "I can’t say enough incredible things about Crystal’s photography! From start to finish, she made the entire experience feel effortless and genuinely enjoyable. Not only does she have an amazing eye for capturing the most beautiful, natural moments, but she also goes above and beyond to help with every detail—outfits, locations, and even posing guidance.


And the photos? Absolutely stunning. She truly has a gift for capturing personality and emotion in a way that feels authentic and timeless.


I would recommend Crystal to all of my friends without hesitation. If you’re thinking about booking a session—do it. You won’t regret it!"

Morgan George

"I think the world of Crystal and her photography work. We have done family photo shoots with her twice--once when my kids were babies and toddlers, and then again just a couple of summers ago. Both were exquisite and we loved working with her. I am a children's book author, and Crystal also took beautiful professional photos of me for headshots and my author materials. Don't hesitate to work with her--she's fantastic and lovely to work with!"

Hiliary Margitich

"Crystal is an amazing photographer and an instant recommendation to anyone! Her final product is gorgeous, we have received beautiful family photos that we will treasure for years to come. She so well captures family memories and moments with ease, despite the fact that children are difficult to photograph at times :) She was so kind to our toddler son and worked so well with him to make it an easy and enjoyable experience. She has a calming and peaceful presence that really blessed us and made it a wonderful experience! She really gets to know her clients and uses that information to inform her work which is so special and rare. She’s wonderful!! Wonderful work! Love!!



Scarlett Moore

"Crystal is a phenomenal photographer, and I would hire her again to shoot my family’s photos in a heartbeat. She went above and beyond by suggesting locations that perfectly fit the theme I wanted, visiting the sites before the day of our shoot, and virtually holding my hand when it came to choosing the outfits my family would wear. Crystal saw my vision more clearly than I did. The photos are proof! Her work is worth its weight in gold."

"Mother, I love you so. Said the child, I love you more than you know. She laid her head on her mother's arm, and the love between them kept them warm."
