Cynthia Viola Photography

Hey there! Cynthia here! The best way for us to get to know each other would definitely be to go on an adventure together! But until we’re able to make that happen, here’s a quick rundown.

You’re likely here for Photography in which case you can navigate to the Weddings or Families gallery to check out my style, or shoot me a quick question through the contact page. But if you’re curious about life on the other side of the lens it looks a little something like this:

Fun facts:

  • Jeans and a tank top most days, but occasionally I’ll get fancy on like a Tuesday.

  • I am a bit of a health nut (think Crossfit). My guy, Anthony, owns the gym and we’re there 6-7 days/week.

  • ENFP & Enneagram 7w8 for any psychology junkies out there.

  • I have 8 tattoos totaling 42 hours under the needle.

  • To date I’ve hiked 525 miles of the Appalachian Trail’s 2200 miles. My trail name is Brave Heart.

  • I pretty much live to travel. I want to see and experience everything!

  • I am an LGBTQ celebratory advocate to the core! I love alllllll the people (even the people who don’t love all the people, I love you too)

The most common photography question I get is what I would call my Shooting/Editing style.

I call it: TRUE TO LIFE.

I do not use heavy editing filters to make an image “dark and moody” or “light and airy” however, IF your wedding crew is wearing dark colors with dark flowers and we’re shooting during blue hour or in a dark venue… your images will be dark and moody because that is true to your specific day. If your crew is in baby blue with light pink flowers and we’re standing in front of a white barn in the middle of the day, your images will be light and airy because that is true to your day. I will capture you as you are because I feel there’s nothing more timeless than remembering exactly who you are right now. So don’t be afraid if my overall gallery doesn’t quite match your vision…because it covers hundreds of visions. If you’d like to see a gallery closer to what you have in mind…just ask!

And if you want to see what it’ll be like to work with me on your shoot, watch this quick video!

See me in action here! Just push play! 


 
I’m not good as making specific plans. Just meet me under the sky somewhere and be alive with me.
