But what about…?
-
I’ve seen enough photography sessions to know that a stressful process always leads to bad results. When you don’t feel like you during the shoot, you won’t look like you in the pictures.
It's possible that your previous photographer didn't take the time to get to know you and your family, that they didn't relate to your kids, or they didn't compliment you or guide you through the process during the session. I work with you before, during, and after your session to make sure your pictures feel natural, stress-free, and FUN!

Hiring me as your photographer means you’ll not only get great photos, but you’re also getting over 15 years of experience managing the entire process. What you might save in $ you’ll end up paying in more details to manage, more people to coordinate, and more stress to carry!
When you book a free call with me, we’ll talk about creating a custom package to match your goals and your budget. It includes communication back and forth, years of experience & education, highest quality equipment, and a perfected editing style that will provide you with memories to last a lifetime. Your future generations will look at these photos and be reminded of legacy, memories and a true, complete sense of family & tradition.

Most phone cameras have the ability to take a picture that will look pretty good (at least if you’re only planning to look at it on a phone). But, your phone camera is missing the most important element of a timeless, stunning photograph: your story!
Your phone camera definitely won’t help you feel natural or capture the real you, but I can. I work together with you to tell your unique story through your pictures. I’ve captured the stories of hundreds of families, individuals, and events over my career, and I’ve learned how to create a space that truly shows off who you are. Book a free call with me, and we’ll talk more about how to tell your story through pictures that feel natural, stress-free, and FUN!
Hi, I’m Sydnee!
As a photographer and a mom of an autistic child, I know how stressful a photo shoot can be on BOTH sides of the camera. Capturing the perfect moment for an important event is always surrounded by a rollercoaster of emotions + stress.
Through hundreds of family sessions over the years, I’ve learned how to keep photos natural, relaxed, and a true reflection of your personality. I have over 15 years of experience in capturing b’nai mitzvahs, and have relationships with every major synagogue in the Twin Cities.
Schedule a free call with me to talk about capturing the magic of your child’s b’nai mitzvah.

“We have three young kids, and it's no small feat to get pictures where everyone in the family is looking and participating. Just asking them to sit and smile is doesn't work with our crew! Sydnee found ways to get to know the kids, make them laugh, and bring them to life. Sydnee is so good at capturing them in their space and in a way that they are excited about.”

I highly recommend Sydnee for anyone looking to beautifully preserve their family memories.”
