Cindy Crofford

My Mission. My business exists to combine my passion for people with my passion for photography to serve you by capturing wonderful memories of your families' lives.

My Goal. "When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need- words that will help others become stronger." Ephesians 4:29

Cindy says:

"I am one of those lucky people who gets up every morning excited to go to work! I am blessed to play an active role in the lives of my clients and I love investing my life in capturing memories for others.

"When my daughter (now 29 years old) was a baby, my mother treated me to a portrait session for my children with the "best" photographer in my hometown. I was so excited to get beautiful photographs of my children; however, being in front of the camera and lights frightened my baby and we didn't get the beautiful memory that I hoped for. All that resulted were just a couple shots of her with red eyes and a frightened look on her face. If the photographer had just stopped and given me a few minutes, I could have soothed her and, more than likely captured the beautiful memory that I had hoped for. Instead, he was in a rush, had no patience or time for us and then announced that he just "couldn't" get anything of her. I've never forgotten that experience and when I started my business, I swore that I would never treat a client that way.

"I hope that I have kept my promise to myself and to others. I take the time to allow everyone to get comfortable in front of the camera, whether it is a frightened six-month old or a self-conscious teenager with acne. It is a goal of mine to make my sessions fun for everyone. I am patient with people, and I give plenty of time to relax and plenty of images from which to choose. I try to convince everyone that they are beautiful in front of the camera because I believe that there is something beautiful about every person and, if given the chance I can capture it in an image."

"Not only does Cindy capture the physical beauty of the person but she also captures the essence of their spirit. She has a knack of making you feel special in every shot. Cindy is a pure pleasure to work with. Truly a talented photographer."

"Thanks for the great work you do. You have created some of the greatest treasures in my home and office. Thanks."

- Dr. Roger S.

"My wonderful friend, Cindy Crofford, took the MOST amazing series of pictures of my parents only a few weeks ago, and they have meant so much to all of us. I hope you will see them, they are stunning! Cindy's love for my mom and dad, and for her photography, is so evident. And today daddy said, after he looked through the proofs again, 'you know, I live inside my own skin, so I could never see clearly how she looked at me with such love but I can see in the pictures that she really adored me: she is looking at me like I'm the handsomest man she ever saw.'"

"Cindy Crofford has been a joy to work with. She was able to capture the personalities of all my children in a way that I didn't think was possible. The only thing difficult was trying to choose which photos to use. It's so refreshing to work with someone who takes such personal pride in her work. She is truly a diamond among rhinestones. I look forward to a very long relationship with Cindy!"
