Crys makes you feel comfortable, his unique artistic eye, and the quality of the final images are incredible.
Crys makes you feel comfortable, his unique artistic eye, and the quality of the final images are incredible. Crys is great at getting my son Ethan excited during the shoot! When we got our gallery, we were completely blown away. The photos are absolute works of art and we will cherish them for a lifetime! I have continued to use his services for family and business for the past seven years. We highly recommend Crys & Ale

Book this for sure!
Crystian and Ale are SO fun - they make taking photos such a memorable experience. I highly recommend booking this experience - we were traveling for an anniversary trip and I wanted to get pictures of the two of us and this is exactly what I hoped it would be! Very reasonably priced (although we loved SOOO many photos we ended up spending quite a bit, but it was totally worth it!)

Buyer beware!
Buyer beware!!! My fiancée and I booked a pregnancy photo shoot with Crystian while in San Miguel. I should have known He was going to be trouble when he was an hour late, and then blamed the "lighting and shading" and how it wasn't a hood time yet as a reason for his for untimeliness. He lives there and should be familiar with those variables, so why schdeule us for a certain time and then say it wasn't a good time later on. Fishy. It was the last day of our trip, so at that point we had no choice but to use him. He promised us a photo shoot with multiple locations and wardrobe changes. He definitely took his time taking multiple shots at the 3 different locations he selected for us. When it came time to pay, he said the extra locations took extra time and would cost extra money, but only if we wanted the extra pictures. Basically, he would hold our photos hostage and did not honor the price he quoated us. Again, what choice does one have at that point... Disappoint my fiance and not get those shots of her? He's a snake. He also told us he would send the file with all of the photos, and we would send him the top 40 so he could touch them up on the computer. This was September 6, just after Labor Day. He sent the file with just over 200 pictures, but he probably took closer to 3 or 400. That was almost 2 weeks after we got home. We picked our top 40 and sent them back.... Here we are, and it's almost November (our baby is due in January), and he still hasn't sent us the touched up photos. If I could go back in time, I would've told myself to use someone else or wait until we got back home to California to take those photos. My fiancée is heartbroken that the pictures will not be ready in time for the baby shower and probably not for the holidays.

Fun, relaxed, professional
Crystian was so fun and put me right at ease from the first greeting. As a single woman traveling on my own, this is important- he helped look my best and express all the parts of me! I got to see some beautiful hidden San Miguel gems about town on the way- I feel like I got to hang out with a friend while in San Miguel- thank you, Don Crystian 👯♀️

Let's take pictures, let's make art: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Miguel de Allende.
How much does Let's take pictures, let's make art cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Miguel de Allende usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Let's take pictures, let's make art take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Miguel de Allende is not rushed.
Is Let's take pictures, let's make art worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Miguel de Allende, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Let's take pictures, let's make art?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Miguel de Allende can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Miguel de Allende and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Miguel de Allende?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Miguel de Allende?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
