My Story...
I have a few passions in life; My Faith, Husband, our beautiful kids, family/friends, pups, and of course, photography.
My name is Cylinda and I am wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of Syracuse, NY, serving Upstate + Central NY and other destinations for weddings.
For as long as I can remember, I have had a camera in my hand. I have a great passion for life, and have always loved capturing the moments that I have experienced. I look forward to the day 50 years from now when I can look back at the story told by my pictures.
Aside from capturing everyday life with my point-and-shoot camera, I have always found excitement in photographing the beautiful world that we live in. Whether it be natural things like a tree, body of water, a field, animals or man made things like monuments and buildings, I love taking pictures of it. This excitement and desire for a higher quality picture lead me to investing in my first Canon film camera at age 17.
I had fallen in love with pictures of people while searching for a photographer for my wedding. I was amazed by how realistic the photographs in their portfolios looked. I could feel the love between the couples, the happiness in the families, the purity of a newborn. At that moment, I knew that I wanted to be the one to create memories for other people much like I have been doing for myself my whole life. I wanted to be the one to capture their moments for them to be able to look back on one day.
We have been blessed with two beautiful babies, I absolutely love being their Mom! I am a dog lover, we have two dogs, Chevy & Tremec, we are also car lovers (if the pups names didn't hint that) I love to travel. My husband and I were fortunate enough do a cross country camping trip for our honeymoon and wow, what a beautiful country we live in. In 2014 I was blessed with an opportunity to sail the Mediterranean in Greece on my best friends, Aunt & Uncle's, boat! I blogged the trip, check it out Sailing Adventure In Greece.
I am passionate about my work, I love creating relationships with my clients and documenting their lives. Whether I am documenting their wedding day, capturing their child's portrait who is getting ready to go into their senior year, discovering their child's personality through my lens or stopping time while their family interacts with each other, creating memories that can be looked back on and passed down to family is the most wonderful gift I can give and that is given to me.
