Creative Partner for Elevated, Human-Centered Imagery

Hi, I’m Chrissylynn — a photographer, director, and creative partner drawn to thoughtful collaborations and purpose-driven work.

Since 2004, I’ve worked with brands, agencies, founders, and creative teams to create imagery that feels thoughtful, authentic, and connected to something bigger than the photo itself.

Along the way, I created Tether Collective, a shared studio built to foster collaboration and creative community among photographers. And currently, I serve as the Chair of the San Francisco + Northwest Chapter of APA (American Photographic Artists), where we elevate and educate the photographic community nationwide.

I’m also a twin, a mom, and a bit of a health-food nut. Those parts of my life have rooted me deeply in communities that support women, families, and creatives, and they shape how I show up- collaborative, curious, and invested in the people behind the project.

In a time when AI is reshaping the creative landscape, I embrace the tools that streamline the process, but the part that still inspires me most is the human side of the work—original thoughts, building relationships, solving problems together, and creating something meaningful with a great team.

So that's enough about me, for now- Got an idea brewing? Reach out—I’m always happy to chat about new projects, partnerships, and possibilities.
