I'M FINALLY SHARING MY SECRETS.
AND I WANT TO CHEER YOU ON TO SUCCESS.
that.next.level.
I remember not knowing how to get to
I would see other's work and think "how did they get their seniors to pose like that? yet still look natural?" I would freeze on pose ideas or how to pose my seniors in the most flattering positions for different body types! I loved dreamy, backlit images and desperately wanted to shoot that.
And pricing... how in the world to set my pricing, or to have to confidence to do in-person sales.
I started this business 16 years ago and wondered "will I be able to make a significant living doing this? Newsflash: You can! I scoured the internet on my own, invested thousands (yep, thousands) into bettering my business, and in no time, I took it to a 6 figure business! I've learned what works and what doesn't. And....
Hi, I'm Cindy.
Your New BFF + Business Cheerleader.
GIRL, I HAVE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES!
A 2 day in person workshop where I'll be giving you all the knowledge I have learned! Seriously...no secrets here!
Be ready to expand your skills, transform your business, and get re-inspired to shoot work that you love....all while moving the needle to a more profitable business!

THAT'S NOT ALL
"I was really on the fence about attending Cindy's workshop, as I am fairly new to the business, and my list of next-things-to-spend-on didn't include a workshop. I needed to know that going to the workshop would impact my business right away. After talking to Cindy, who is incredibly transparent and relatable, I decided to invest in myself and my business and go. Listen to me--no regrets! I am already seeing improvement in being able to get great shots in light I wouldn't have seen before, posing girls so they look sophisticated but still teens, pricing, and client interactions. One of the things I really appreciated was that Cindy asked--and listened to--what we all wanted to learn, and what we felt we were already okay on. So I wasn't spending time and money on information I didn't really need.
In addition, and I can't overemphasize this, the connections I made in the workshop were WONDERFUL. Not only was the time spent with those women exactly what I needed, but the connections have reached beyond check-out time. I am now partnering with one of the other photographers in my area, I have hired a VA based on a recommendation, and I have significantly reduced my outsourced editing costs by trying out another service that was recommended. Plus, we have all become each other's social media fans, liking and commenting on posts. All that in addition to walking away with great brand photos that would have cost me out of pocket.
Between Cindy herself and the photographers who are drawn to her workshop, I came home better, faster, and stronger as a person and as a businesswoman. And you can DM me on Instagram with any questions at all. So, if you're on the fence, talk it through with Cindy and have her answer all your questions. If it's the right fit for you, it's really, really the right fit for you.

"This workshop is ALL you want a workshop to be AND MORE!! It will set you up for success! I've been to at least a dozen workshops over the years and I can honestly say Cindy's Senior Workshop tops the list. She spared no detail in planning (even customized each attendee's gift box.) This workshop is intimate enough to get all your questions answered (and she will answer any and all things) but big enough to leave with many new & genuine friendships. I was most impressed with her organization of the model shoots. She had enough models so that each attendee was able to get plenty of practice and images for their portfolios, over 2 styled shoots. We even had a portion where we teamed up and did content/website photos of each other. I went to this workshop solely to learn how Cindy works with lighting but I left with so much moooore! Cindy is MAGICAL with seniors. If you're lucky enought to grab a seat in her future workshops, you'll leave with some of that magic too!"
invest in yourself!
"After following Cindy on Instagram for a few years, I was thrilled when she decided to offer an in-person workshop. And it did not disappoint!! Fantastic, usable content, top shelf accommodations, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this workshop was the perfect place to take my business to the next level.
Focused heavily on posing and finding beautiful light in both natural and urban locations, this gave me some new tools and skills that I could implement immediately with my senior clients. This workshop was a wonderful balance of in-person instruction, demonstrations by Cindy, and hands on learning!
Cindy is very organized and a wonderful communicator. I was always well informed before, during, and even after the workshop with information. She made herself available to answer all questions during our time together and helped everyone attending. I am so happy I attended...well worth the investment! "
"I have been in business over 5 years, so my expectations were high! I can wholeheartedly say, Cindy MET and EXCEEDED all expectations for what I wanted to learn at her workshop! I loved that she sent us a questionnaire prior so we could let her know what we wanted to cover! Not only did she cover ALL of my requests she included a workbook with all of the notes answering those questions!! I loved that she taught us her shooting and lighting techniques and then had models come to specific locations so we could practice those ourselves! Cindy WANTED us to come away with LOTS of "take-aways". It was important to her that we really learn something from the time spent with her.
She was fun, informative and approachable. It impressed me that she was so willing to share every bit of her 16 years of knowledge with us! She structured her content to those of us that had been in business for several years and just needed some help managing the business side of things!
Lastly, I LOVED the friendships made! Not only with Cindy but now I have 13 other ladies I can call on if I have a quick question. Truly the PERFECT workshop for what I needed going forward!"

"Attending the CS Senior Photography Workshop was one of the very best investments I have ever made in my business!! Cindy is such an incredibly talented & knowledgeable photographer, a successful business woman, and she has a true gift for education!! I'm already implementing some of the new things I learned!
Continuing education is especially important for small business owners as we wear so many hats! I truly appreciated the more intimate group setting which made it easier to ask questions and made for a great hands on learning experience!
Being a photographer can be isolating, without colleagues, so having a network of new photographer friends is so nice.
I'm always pushing myself to be better and to be able to elevate the experience for my seniors. Cindy gives you the tools to do just that!!! "

"Because of Cindy's experience, I was able to learn things that takes people years to learn!
A year from now
you will wish you had started today...
"Cindy is such an amazing senior photographer and educator! I am in awe of how she creates such amazing beautiful light filled images and her posing is incredible! She is kind, authentic and truly willing to share everything she knows to help other photographers be successful! If you have the chance to learn from Cindy, I would 100% recommend it! "
"Investing in yourself and your business is so important to continue to do. As photographers, we typically work alone, so it is so important to have a community and I’ve found in-person workshops are a great way to find your people. How I found Cindy’s workshop was when a photographer friend of mine took it and told me I needed to go if I could. Cindy’s workshop was fantastic! She was an open book and we learned so much over the course of the workshop. The posing, lighting, and business side of it was all covered so well. I loved the personalized gifts with our favorite snacks, I'm a details person. The other photographers I met at the workshop were so inspiring and are now new friends! If you want to go to a senior workshop this is the one for you!!."
"Cindy is one of the best in the business. I learned so much during her workshop and even gained a support group of like-minded photographers, who are now my friends. Cindy has taught me how the smallest of details, are the biggest of details. You never realize how those will add up and make the photo SO much more polished.
Posing and lighting are her talents but she is gifted in sharing that knowledge with you. She goes above and beyond with details, making you feel confident and helping you nurture your talent to the next level."
"Her knowledge and enthusiasm is palpable when she is working with her clients and speaking with her fellow photographers. She listens to your questions and thoughts, and with great care answers thoughtfully and thoroughly. I loved watching Cindy on location working with her client, her positive energy was palpable making the client at ease and it helped to demonstrate how smooth and flawless a session could be. I walked away from this experience with so much excitement on how to improve my own business. Thank you Cindy you are a fantastic educator!"
"She has an incredible intuition on posing and directing, that makes her subject feel comfortable in front of the camera. Through her workshop, she’s an open book on teaching other photographers her tips and tricks.
She helps you learn how to up-level your client’s experience while giving you the confidence to make each session flow seamlessly. I highly recommend if you get the change to learn from Cindy..take it! She is a ray of sunshine, and will motivate you to grow your business as well."

YES! I WANT THIS!
I used to be you...
When I started, I wasn't charging what I should have been, and didn't have the knowledge to confidently pose a senior.
I wanted to advance my business to the next level early on, and scoured the internet (a lot) to find answers to my questions. Then I realized finding someone years ahead of me in the senior photography world, and learning from them, was the fastest track to getting myself to where I wanted to be.
So, I invested in that type of learning. And I have created a very profitable business that brings in a consistent stream of inquiries, a calendar booked months in advance, and clients who rave about their experience.
i can help because i've been there
I WANT THAT FOR YOUR BUSINESS TOO.
LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAY!
“This was the greatest quantity of high quality, usable content of any class I've attended ”
- COLLEEN H.
This one class was the one that made my attendance at Imaging worthwhile. Cindy was easy to follow and listen to, and included far and away the greatest quantity of high quality, usable content of any class I attended. I'm still referring back to my notes from her class to guide my decisions several months later. I usually hope for a few solid take-aways, but her class was exactly what I needed and I literally have several pages of notes and cell phone pics of slides that I'm still using to guide my strategy for this year. Well worth it!
“I didn't think it would be worth it. It was. I didn't think it would work for me. It did. I didn't think I'd be *that* success story. I am. ”
