Crystal's Photography Studio, East Stroudsburg

Photo-shoot participants typically need to focus on striking poses and holding smiles, but Crystal Jenkins asks her subjects to perform a much simpler task: drink tea. During tea-party sessions at Crystal's Photography Studio, guests enjoy complimentary beverages, as well as each other's company, while Crystal unobtrusively snaps candid shots. The events can even take on an Alice in Wonderland theme, where participants don their best Mad Hatter, Dormouse, and March Hare costumes. Though Crystal applies this candid approach elsewhere, such as wedding ceremonies, she encourages posing when working with her other clients, including kids, families, and models.
