First and foremost, I am a Gemologist. Second, I am a Photographer. Last, but not least, I am a Gypsy...

My name is Christi Cramer and I have been taking pictures since I was 10 years old when I received my
first camera from my father who was also a photographer. I was newspaper and yearbook staff photographer in high school, where I also won awards for art photography. My career in minerals and
gems began in 1977 where my genetic love of jewelry flourished.

I enjoy shooting in the field- even more than working in the studio. I enjoy the challenge of bringing all available resources together to produce something beautiful and artistic- something you would enjoy seeing in person, in a magazine, in a gallery, or in your home.
