hi there! my name is cinestie.
I am a traveling photographer dedicated to capturing your life's big moments and transitions through my lens (it's the same one I've had since 8th grade)! I'm originally from Iowa in the Midwest, USA, but I have been a nomad for quite some time now, allowing me to photograph the world's people and places.
my editing style
my editing style is meant to feel nostalgic and warm - similar to watching leaves change in the fall. that feeling of missing what's passed but looking forward to what's to come. think of your grandma's collection of old film photos, or screen grabs of your favorite movie!
I am easy-going, very social, and aim to make you feel as comfortable as you can during shoots - whether that is to bring a friend or family member, play your favorite music, or even an emotional support blanket!
some other fun things about me:
- I really enjoy hiking and backpacking
- I do all mediums of art, but prefer to work in watercolor and clay
- I am a really great chef and love cooking, especially asian fusion meals
- I have a cat named arabella - aerie for short
- I am part of the lgbtq+ and bipoc communities
- I graduated from iowa state university
- I have a gluten intolerance (super unfortunate)
