Hello!! Thank you so much for visiting my website! Please let me introduce myself and tell you a bit about me.

 I am Crystal Via and am a photographer in Spokane, WA. I remember being the great age of 16 when I was first mesmerized by the sound of a camera snapping a photo…I had to have that in my life! I can honestly compare it to the same love I have for the sound of a bat hitting the baseball, a basketball swishing through the net, and a golf ball falling into the cup. I could listen to all of these sounds and my camera thousands and thousands of times. Even with the new digital cameras, I tend to leave the shutter noise audible so I can hear that magnificent sound.

Immediately out of high school, I enrolled into college photography classes in Spokane, WA. I won’t give you the year, but we were still shooting film. I had received a softball scholarship and was determined to excel at both. Unfortunately the photography classes and softball schedule conflicted so I chose softball over photography. From that moment photography became a major hobby and dream for me. I played softball for another 2 years at Saint Martin’s University, graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing, had two drop-dead gorgeous children and got VERY busy with life. 10 years after attempting to begin my photography career, I finally did it! I am now one of the top boudoir photographers in Spokane, a veteran high school senior portrait photographer, a dynamic wedding photographer and provide beautiful family photos, powerful commercial headshots, AND I offer photography lessons in Spokane!

Helping others achieve their creative photography goals is an absolute joy. Being able to offer photography lessons and camera classes in Spokane follows my motto “Inspire others. Share knowledge. Encourage growth. Spread love. Kickass.”
