Get to know the photographer
Justin Crawford
Studio Inara is a veteran-owned portrait photography studio in Everett, WA. Formerly named J. M. Crawford Photography, LLC, we transformed our brand in 2024 to build a unique identify for ourselves and to build a household name in the community. Originating in Issaquah, WA, we have graciously served families of King County, Snohomish County, Pierce County, and surrounding communities since 2013.
Hello, I'm Justin - a photographer driven by a passion for freezing moments in time. Photography has been a constant fuel source for creativity and happiness for over twenty years. My artistry blends years of practice and formal education from the Art Institute of Seattle to produce crafted images for my clients.
Family is at the heart of everything I do, dovetailing my passion for photography with a deep commitment to creating lasting memories for you and your family. I am graciously supported by my wife, Anne Marie, and my long-time friend, Amber, whom you may see helping me along the way. My wife and I will be welcoming our first baby in 2025. Grow with our family as we are there to watch your family grow.
Beyond the lens, I proudly serve our country in the Army Reserve as a Senior Human Resources Sergeant, adding a dash of discipline and dedication to my work. I enlisted in 2010 and since have deployed overseas twice and mobilized for three local tours culminating in nearly 50% of my military career on active status.
