About Me
- Cindy
- I am mama of two, a nonna of two and a wife to my adorable hubby. I am also a budding photographer who sees life through the lens of a camera. I am constantly on the lookout for a new photoshoot site and love taking natural light photos for my sweet families.... I have recently started repainting thrift store and discarded furniture and bringing it back to life.
