I am absolutely speechless here! I mean honestly…these are so breathtaking!!!!
Just this little collection makes me want to weep. I know hope much time, effort, love, adoration, hard work, and so much more into to every one of these shoots. I am so in love with them because they are a perfect display of your beautiful heart and soul. I love you and am in awe of your talent. K -
I know I’ve said this before, and I think I’m like your SUPER STALKER MEGA FAN, but you inspire me everyday! Every time I feel overloaded with work I just think of you and say to myself ’self…Cindy is like 10x busier than you so suck it up and get back to work.’ HA HA!!! Have fun in Alaska!
-
WOW!!!! I love all of them, but the first one ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!! Can’t wait to see you!!! Only 4 more months!! YIPEE!

It’s noteworthy that you posted that particular picture of Hannah and I, Cindy!
When you shared it with me on facebook, my friend commented, “I bet I know who that is (she was speaking of that beautiful shot of the sun shining off the roof of the shed).” I’m not very emotional, but as soon as I read that, I cried and cried. That photo means so much, and it serves as a visual reminder that Hannah’s Dad is still there, watching over us forever. It’s one of my most treasured posessions and I will never take it off of my wall.
I searched different Montana photographers for 3 or 4 months, because I wanted our pictures to be wonderful, after going through a very bad year. And because I’m a procrastinator, they’ll likely be the last professional pictures of Hannah until her senior pictures.
I’m so glad I picked you!The pictures of Hannah in her Dad’s hat and cowboy boots mean an awful lot, too. I think Harry and Rosie, Hannah’s grandparents, are some of your new loyal fans. They adore all of the photos, as does Joe, and everyone who’s seen them. Thanks again for everything! You’re an inspiring person and we had a lot of fun! Have a wonderful rest of the summer!

just stopping in to say how much I love your work - so inspiring!
-
Cindy! Oh my. HEAVENS. Your work makes me grin from ear to ear (and then drool). I am just starting out in photography and I can only hope (and pray, pray, & pray some more) that my work someday looks like yours. Stunning!! You keep on clicking, girl, because you’ve got mad talent!
-
WOW! You are busy! Lots of great stuff here Cin!
-
its like you’re some vitamin d or something, a prescription for making the heart happy…your photography…beautiful.
and that vivid richness makes it so ALIVE. word sista!!
-
I can only say, wow. Heartfelt, beautiful, playful and rockin!
“Give me that kissy look…”
It’s OK if I look like an idiot. All that matters is that the bride + groom look fantastic!

More from Jane + Al’s wedding soon!

Loni + Josh: wedding
AHHHHH! I will be posting favorite photos from this wedding forever.
LOOOOVED EVERYTHING about this amazing day: the bride, the groom, their family + friends, unique details, live music, food + wine galore, dogs with yellow scarves, hay bales in the shape of wedding bells! Could it have been any more beautiful or whimsical? Yes. There was a lemonade stand in the back of a vintage Chevy. There was a canoe in the pond overflowing with flowers. There were antique salt + pepper shakers on each table. 400 guests, yet an intimate feel. I can’t stop thinking about this wedding and all of the love that went into it. I adore Loni + Josh…and their furry child Finn who tried his hardest to be in every single photo!


Finn was like “Where’s Waldo?” the whole wedding day.




It rained just about every day that week, except for the wedding day. Thank you for showing up glorious sun!




And you know we had to do a *day after* shoot! The location was PERFECT: an old theater that her parents used to own. THE BOMB.



And it’s become my most overused phrase, but I PROMISE: more photos are on the way!

WOW! Super impressed Cin! Last one is my fave!
-
So gorgeous! This was a beautiful wedding, and I am so glad my children and I got to see it and celebrate with Loni and Josh. Their love truly shines through…in person and in pictures! I have never seen a bride look so excited to promise her love to her groom! You did a wonderful job, Cindy.
-
I’m in love with your post of this wedding! Every image is just fabulous. So, so fabulous. They really did have uniqueness to their every detail. How wonderful for you, the uber-talented girl you are, to photograph this couple and their amazing wedding day.

Tana
Nearly a year after their beeeeeautiful Wyoming wedding, Kendell + Bobby now have a baby girl. Her name is Tana (an homage to Montana) and she’s just too cute for words.
Matt and I smiled from ear-to-ear when we met her yesterday. Tana pounced around, barked with all of her might and slipped around on the wood floors. She’s all fluff and energy and just plain’ ol squeezable. Plus, I think she wants to be a photographer when she grows up…



The Lion King pose!

Congrats you guys! Duncan + Boerne are counting down the days until their play date.
