Guest Bio

Tiffany Crenshaw is a Huntsville and North Alabama’s leading lifestyle, newborn and family storytelling photographer and one of the only black photographers in her field. And while some may not think it important to notate those things — Tiffany believes it’s a huge part of her story, and in turn, the stories that she can create for families.

More than a photographer, she considers herself a professional storyteller. She absolutely loves capturing real and authentic moments between families. Watching her own children as they grow drives the way that she photographs families. Because as a mama she knows that the images we have are the only way to truly freeze time.

It’s her role as wife, as friend and as mama that fuels her passion and intention as a lifestyle family photographer.
