About Me




My name is Crystal Edivan. I am 33 years old, a born and raised Cali girl and I am the owner of Pure Images Photography and Design! I am married to the love of my life and we have 5 children. The two younger ones are mine from a previous marriage and the three older ones are my husband's from a previous marriage.



I have been involved in photography since I was a child. My mom took years and years of photography classes and even had her own darkroom studio in our house growing up. I wanted to be just like her, even at a young age. I jumped right into film photography at the start of college. I was doing lots of engagements and couples. I kept at it until I had a baby girl in 2005 and then a son in 2007. Right around 2006 I bought my first digital camera. I resisted for a while thinking the digital 'fad' would float away, but obviously, it is way to fun to let go of! It was then I started taking digital classes and haven't stopped since. I love the digital style along with all of the Photoshop and Lightroom capabilities. Since going professional, I have shot many many families, newborns, children, and weddings. I also freelance for a company during the college graduation seasons doing event photography and PR work. I am so grateful to be doing what I do. I love it and I wouldn't see it any other way. We are located in the heart of Southern California.

Martin Luther King High School Prom - Riverside California - MLK High

Imagine this... one of the most important days of high school - PROM! Add a super sweet handsome boyfriend, a group of friends, a beautiful dress, hair and makeup... and then RAIN? We made the most of our time together to do photos and the minute the rain let up we were outside with umbrella and all. It was a lot of fun to be with them during the excitement before Prom. I am sure they had an amazing time together! {Riverside Poly High Prom Photography} {Riverside Senior Photography}, Riverside Poly High School, Martin Luther King High School, crystal edivan, pure images photography,
