Poetic Storytelling for families with adventurous hearts
As a mom who went from a teeny-tiny size 1 BC (before children) to love handles galore, here are the greatest truths I can speak;
- You are the most important and beautiful creature your child has ever known.
- Your babies don’t care about your damn pant size!
- You have to take time for the things that matter most.
If you’re like me, that’s family So, stop waiting for perfect. Give your children one of the greatest gifts of all; images of YOU with THEM, together The longer you wait, the more you’re missing.
Being the youngest out of six kids, I used to beg my mom to get the family pictures down. As silly as this sounds, I was always disappointed that there weren’t as many of me.
As I got older, I was disappointed that I didn’t have more photos of me with my mom.
As a mom with grown children, I am disappointed that even though I have a hundred trillion “Say cheese photos,” I don’t have ones that show the beautiful connection between my kids and me. I know it’s there, but I wish I had photos of us, beautiful moments from when they were little, that documented the fierce love I have for them. My heart yearns for that. Living proof that the life we shared was rich with love. That they, my kids, we’re (are) loved with all my heart and soul. That’s what I want for you and yours. So, throw aside your self-doubt, get out of your own way, and let’s do this! If you’re like me, that’s family So, stop waiting for perfect. Give your children one of the greatest gifts of all; images of YOU with THEM, together The longer you wait, the more you’re missing.
“I feel that there is nothing as truly artistic as to love people.” – Vincent Van Gogh.
Being photographed is an intimate experience, but working with me is like slipping on an old comfy sweatshirt. We will discuss all the things from the session experience to styling, locations, and bringing your vision to life. By the time your session comes around, it will be like hanging out with a dear friend. One who cares deeply about documenting your family and creating purposeful art that illuminates its heart and soul. Together we will create a poetic masterpiece of light, love, and family.

“Such a unique and wonderful experience! I loved the guidance in picking outfits, the research of a gorgeous location and her willingness to work with my crazy family of 5 young children. I’m pretty sure this is the first time my kids had fun at a photo shoot. I’m not sure how she did it, but Cindy captured my family so well. She created works of art that I will cherish forever!” – Stacy McEwan
PRICING
To me, photography is about more than just snapping a picture; it’s about investing in memories. Memories that take you back in time to the places and people you love most. Photographs, like love poems; living proof that the life you share is filled with love. Whether you’re longing for a beautiful adventure or home is where your heart is, I hope to uncover the poetry in your story and show you moments you didn’t even know you needed to see..
