Poetic Storytelling for families with adventurous hearts

Wait, don’t go yet! I already know what you’re thinking. “These photos are gorgeous, and oh my, the feels! But I could never pull this off. Where do you even find outfits like that? I still have five pounds to lose, there’s too much chaos in my life, and I don’t have time to shop…” But, guess what, those are the exact reasons to come to me.

You’ve been working so hard trying to be the perfect parent that you haven’t even had time to slow down and see how beautiful this chaotic life truly is. But I can give you that. You don’t have to do this alone. We will not only create the beautiful heirloom portraits your family deserves, but we will also have a blast and make unforgettable memories doing it.

 

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.

You may have a thousand photos on your phone, but are you in them?  Do they show the deep bond you share? Are they full of love, beauty, and poetry, because that is what I can give you. That is I want to show you.  Living proof that the life you share is full of love. Do this for your kids so they will always know you loved them with all your heart and soul.

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.

Not an adventurer? That’s ok; I still gotcha covered. Sign-up for my session guide,  The Nostalgic Heart Experience and learn about all the other cool stuff we can do1..

“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..  

“Love, Love, Love the photos!! And OMG… I am in tears, I absolutely love the video!! It’s perfect and I will cherish these memories. So thankful for Cindy, she captured all our chaos and love beautifully. I know I will miss this & I know how fast time goes and I never want to forget the crazy rock jumps and sandy feet!”  -Vanessa Olsen
