Hi there. I'm Cindy, a wedding and family photographer. I am so happy to see that you landed on my photography page where you can get to know me and about my love for photographing beautiful and amazing individuals such as yourself.

As a photographer, my mission is to capture the essence of moments, transforming them into visual narratives that resonate with hearts and endure through generations, thus telling your story.

Guided by the belief that every image carries a story waiting to be told, I embark on a quest to capture the candid, the heartfelt, and the extraordinary. With each click of the shutter, I endeavor to freeze emotions,  connections, and memories in their most genuine form.

Head back

My camera is not just a tool. It is my best friend in freezing your moments in time and telling your stories. It speaks of laughter shared, tears shed, and dreams realized. It whispers tales of love, joy, and resilience that words alone cannot capture. From the subtle glances exchanged to the grandest celebrations, I am there to immortalize each moment, ensuring that no story goes untold.

My mission is to not only document events but to capture the emotions, the connections, and the stories that make them truly unforgettable. I am dedicated to crafting images that transcend time, connecting past, present, and future in a tapestry of events.

Through my work, I aspire to create not just images, but windows into the human experience. Every image is a chapter in a story, and every client is a partner in the creation of a lasting legacy. Welcome to my world of storytelling through the lens - where moments become memories,  and memories are turned into images to be revisited for infinity.

Authentic. Genuine. Sincere.

If you ask me what my "super powers" are, I will tell you that I am a storyteller of lovers, growing children, blossoming families, and new beginnings. My approach is diving in and getting to know you, sharing a little about me so you know what to expect from me. Learning about your journey and knowing full well that each and every individual and couple is different, and embracing that fact, is just half the fun. 

My work is a blend of artistic creativity that I bring to your special day, freezing the moments in time. I then add a bit of magic to the images, turning them into beautiful memories of you.

It's not just the big moments in life that are important. Sometimes those little moments are the most extraordinary. I believe that unplanned, unexpected candids are oftentimes the most wonderful images I am able to sneak in because they are based on your genuine emotions.

My authentic, genuine, and sincere approach to documenting your day and telling your one-of-a-kind story is my way of capturing memories of a lifetime - your memories, your way. 



My Approach to Capturing Real Life Moments in Real Time Images

And this is another reason why this Manhattan, KS, family photographer loves documenting events of all types. It's the smiles, the joy, the giggles, the tears, the hugs, the dancing, the smooching, the sense of comfort and you being you. It's the sweet individuals behind the lens that have entrusted me to freeze their special moments in time so that they may look back at the images and reflect on all the amazing moments.

You be naturally
you

Being photographed can be stressful. You may feel uncomfortable, awkward, or out of your "normal" space.

This is where I step in and work with you to get beyond these feelings. Feeling good about yourself, settling into a comfortable space, and just being your own natural self is my goal. 

I want you to be naturally you.

Be silly, be funny, be goofy; just be you. It's not unusual for me to be quite silly myself working for the smiles and giggles from the young ones. 

I understand and respect that all people are different. We all have our own unique personalities and level of comfort. I will never push anyone into uncomfortable positions. When unsure about comfort levels, I ask. 

Do I want you to step out of your box and do something crazy? I sure do, but I will always ask permission first. 

I want you to be naturally you.

I not only want you to fall in love with your images; my mission is for you to leave the photo session with a comfortable feeling and thinking about the next photo session you plan to have me photograph for you.

Let's do this. Let chat about your vision, find the perfect location, I'll help you coordinate your wardrobe if need-be, and let's make some memories and freeze time in images.

I want you to be naturally you.
