About Colin K. Crader II

My journey as a photographer started as a hobby to document family moments at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. I always had an expressive and artistic side of me, and if you knew me in my early adulthood, you would have thought it was singing (I still karaoke better than most). As I became more adept to taking and editing photos, I started sharing them on my own social media. Feedback in my direct messages and comments was uplifting and centered on hope when we were all isolated and alone. Eventually, family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends wanted someone they knew and trust to take photos of their personal lives or professional events.They didn’t want to hire the typical photographer.They just wanted to live their day, enjoy an event, or craft a visual story — and to have someone comfortable and trustworthy to make it look incredible.My approach working with clients is to be your trusted guide in coordinating the photo assets you desire, and be your socially approachable photojournalist during the event. I also love collaborating with clients on achieving the artistic direction in the photo taking and editing process.For me, photography isn’t just about snapping pretty pictures — it’s about telling your story in a way that is genuine and quintessentially you, your event, or your business. I thrive on bringing out the authentic connection and emotion between people of the moment in every photo I take.So, if you are looking for a photographer whose approach is candid, fun, and artistic - let's connect.I look forward to collaborating with you soon,Colin K.

On a personal level
