Chrissylynn is a fearless creator, working with brilliant creative teams to get into the heart of a brand's "why". Known for her problem-solving attitude and sunny disposition, she has been a trusted image-making partner for agencies, companies and brands since 2004.
Believing in nurturing community, Cl leveled up her commitment by co-creating Tether Collective—a shared photography studio and co-working space with a group of like-minded photographers. This collaborative environment fosters creativity, collaboration, and support among professionals, reflecting Chrissylynn's belief in the power of community-driven initiatives. 2020-2022 she was a board member of the Northwestern chapter of ASMP, and currently, she's a new board member of the San Francisco chapter of APA *American Photographic Artists*
Beyond her professional endeavors, Chrissylynn is a dedicated mom, musician, twin, and earth advocate. Her multifaceted interests and passions enrich her creative perspective and contribute to her holistic approach to life and work.
Giving back: Cl is committed to working with brands and agencies that have a positive impact for people and planet. And through her Society 6 store, she donates 25% of her annual sales to Friends of the Earth, an advocacy group that fights for necessary reforms to protect our planet and the humans on it.
With her unwavering dedication to her craft, her diverse talents, and her commitment to creating positive impact, Chrissylynn continues to inspire and make a difference in both the creative industry and the world at large.
