She took the leap and officially embarked on her photography career in 2001, capturing moments through the lens that would eventually become timeless memories. ‘My photographic journey led me to explore various skills, including newborn sessions, maternity shoots, and the enchanting realm of Fine Art photography. It was in 2012 that I decided to share my expertise and passion with others by teaching.’ In August 2023, Cynthia achieved a significant milestone in her career by becoming certified by Ana Brandt, earning the prestigious title of International Certified Newborn Photographer and Teacher, proudly holding the distinction of being one of the 12 certified trainers in the world, solidifying her place as a leader in the photography community. Since then, her commitment to the art of photography has been recognized through several international awards and today, she operates her own photostudio in Vianen, Utrecht. ‘Beyond photography, I am honored to serve as an Ana Brandt Ambassador, furthering my mission to share the magic of capturing life’s most precious moments through the lens.’ «Photography is the story I fail to put into words.» Destin Sparks, Australian award-winning landscape photographer Have a good read!’
