Today we’d like to introduce you to Cris Newton.
Hi Cris, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I found my way into professional photography after losing all my childhood photos. While memories live in our hearts, I realized how fragile they can be without something tangible to hold onto. A photograph doesn’t just capture a moment. It preserves the laughter, the love, and the small details time can blur. That loss sparked my passion to help others protect their memories, so they can revisit life’s most meaningful moments for years to come.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. When I started, I thought I would only take portraits, but over time I shifted to engagements, proposals, and weddings because capturing love is so rewarding. Another challenge I faced was finding the right locations. Now, I’ve gotten really good at scouting spots in advance so I know exactly what the parking and traffic situation will be.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I specialize in true-to-life, dynamic photography that blends fine art portraiture with heartfelt proposals and engagements. My approach combines sweeping wide-angle shots that showcase the world around you with intimate close-ups that preserve the emotion of the moment. I’m most proud when a client loves a photo so much that they not only print it, but also make it their profile picture; a small gesture that tells me I’ve truly captured their essence. What sets me apart is my dedication to bringing each client’s vision to life, ensuring every image reflects exactly what they had imagined and more.
How do you define success?
For me, success is the freedom to go wherever and whenever my clients need me, knowing I can show up fully prepared to capture their most important moments. It’s not just about being present. It’s about delivering images that bring their memories to life, time and time again.
