Some days behind the camera feel like front-row seats to something unforgettable—and this was one of them.

I had the privilege of being in the podcast room as Crystal Hirschi and her husband Chad shared the incredible story of their life, family, and business journey. Every time I hear Crystal speak, I walk away more impressed—not just by her professional achievements, but by the way she leads with vision, grace, and purpose.

Chad, with unmistakable pride, took over the mic for a few minutes just to brag about his wife. His deep admiration and support reminded all of us that behind every powerful woman, there can be a partner who lifts her up without hesitation. Their story struck such a chord that they were invited back for a Part 2 episode—because it was clear this wasn’t just a podcast. It was a blueprint for young entrepreneurs building businesses and legacies together.

What resonated most was Crystal’s personal philosophy: that living a meaningful life means giving back and making a difference. I feel so fortunate to know her, and even more honored to have introduced her to Workforce Connections, where her spirit of leadership and contribution aligns perfectly.

And of course, I couldn’t let the moment pass without capturing a few portraits. Crystal was radiant—both in presence and personality. With the elegance of a model and the confidence of a visionary, she was an absolute joy to photograph.

These are the moments I live for—not just documenting success, but celebrating purpose, resilience, and the human story behind the professional journey.

Looking forward to the next episode, and to continuing to share the inspiring stories of the leaders shaping Southern Nevada.
