@Kortni Bolden 🎬 The Promo Lounge AND Stories to Shine Skool Community owner, Kortni! ❤️📸 Love seeing another business owner supporting fellow entrepreneurs! And with my Hollywood modeling background, I especially appreciate the power of sharing real-life stories! I'm a Hollywood photographer bringing professional headshots right into people's homes through LIVE Remote Headshot Sessions. I love helping business owners put their best face forward! So happy you've joined Photography by Cristal! ❤️ 📸 When you're ready for a new profile shot, I'd love to work with you! You can find all the details in my One-on-One Headshot Session right here! 📸 As a little welcome gift, I created a fresh take on your profile picture! I hope you like it! ❤️

Leadership is not only about what you build for yourself. It is about what becomes possible for other people because you built it. Those words really made me think about why I created Photography by Cristal. After decades as a Hollywood actress, international model, and professional photographer, I've learned something important. A beautiful photograph can change the way someone sees themselves. ❤️ I've experienced it firsthand through my LIVE Remote Headshot Sessions, photographing people in Sweden, the UK, Australia, Canada, and even the West Bank, all while sitting right here in Los Angeles! But the most rewarding part isn't how far my photography reaches. It's hearing someone say they've finally found a photograph of themselves they LOVE! It's watching their confidence grow. It's knowing that something I've learned over the years can make a difference in someone else's life. And that's exactly why I created this community! I want you to learn how to see yourself through a photographer's eyes. To understand lighting, discover your best angles, feel comfortable being photographed, and recognize the beauty that's already there. With more than 240 of you here, I want to make sure we're creating something meaningful together. ❤️ So here's my question for YOU: What's the ONE thing you wish you could change about how you look or feel in photographs? I'd love to hear your answers because what matters to YOU helps me decide what we learn together next! 📸❤️

When I was little, I'd say, “Someday, I’ll be a model.” And I became one. I’m so happy to share that my book, Someday, I’ll Be a Model!, is now published on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. It’s the true story of the choice I made at twelve: a brand-new skateboard, or my very first modeling portfolio. Both cost $500. I chose my dream. It’s filled with short stories from my memoir: a duck on the front lawn during my first photo shoot, the young photographer and makeup artist who believed in me, and how it all took me from Los Angeles to Tokyo. The real photos from my modeling days are at the end of the book. This book is for every young person with a big dream, ages 10 to 16. Does your child dream of being in front of the camera? My kids' workshop helps them feel confident, have fun, and shine on camera. Live with me: 👉 Confident Kids on Camera The Amazon link is coming in a few days, as soon as it goes live. I’ll share it right here. What did you dream of becoming when you were little? With love, Cristal

@Michael LeBlanc 🎼 The other day, I accidentally clicked on a LIVE audio show when I saw a DM from @Americo Da Costa . I wasn't planning on being on a show, but somehow, THERE I WAS!!! 🎤🤣 And that's where I met this incredible man, @Michael LeBlanc! Michael is a singer, songwriter, and AI song producer who creates beautiful, heartfelt custom songs for podcasts and life's special moments! 🎶 HOW COOL IS THAT?! Michael, I am absolutely THRILLED that you've joined Photography by Cristal! What a wonderful surprise! Now, I have one little problem... MICHAEL!!! WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT SHOW WE WERE ON?! 😂 Was it Audio Only? Global Social Audio? I've been searching LinkedIn for Keith Keller, trying to solve this mystery! I remember meeting you and everyone. I remember having a wonderful time. I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I WAS!!! 🤣🎤 But here's what I DO know: sometimes the most wonderful connections happen completely by accident! And now we have a talented musician and creative storyteller joining our community! Michael, I would LOVE for you to tell us more about your music, your creative projects, and what you're working on! EVERYBODY, PLEASE GIVE MICHAEL A HUGE HOLLYWOOD WELCOME!!! 🎬🎉 CLICK! CLICK! BOOM! 📸💥 @Americo Da Costa
