Hello and welcome! My name is Cyntera. I am a former dancer turned professional ballet and dance photographer in Northern Utah with a deep love for capturing movement.

I was enrolled in my first dance class when I was 3 years old, and continued studying ballet, modern, jazz, tap, and so much more until I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in dance from Weber State University. When I graduated from WSU, I purchased myself the best camera I could afford with the help of my wonderful family. I have always loved photography, I get that from my professional photographer of a mom, but I don’t think any of us truly knew what buying this camera would do for my future.

Best. Decision. Ever.

My approach to photography is collaborative and personal. I believe in building genuine connections with my clients and subjects, ensuring that their vision and story are at the forefront of every photograph. Whether it's a live performance, a dance team session, or a behind-the-scenes look, I am committed to creating imagery and film that transcends the boundaries of a mere photograph or video and becomes a work of art.

When I'm not behind the camera, you can often find me spending time in nature, dancing, or renovating my new house! I have a wonderful husband who loves and supports me, and two Australian shepherds that never fail to put a smile on my face.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and my photography journey. If you're interested in working together or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Let's create something truly beautiful together!

Photography is not just a profession for me; it is my way of connecting with the world, exploring its beauty, and preserving memories for decades to come.
