Cynthia Priest Photography

I’m Cynthia — a hopeless romantic behind the camera who loves photographing families in Edmonton with a warm, modern and timeless eye. Family photography is my core focus: I specialise in relaxed, real-life family photoshoots that capture both the posed portraits you treasure and the candid, in-between moments that tell your story. Whether it’s playful afternoons with small children, golden-hour portraits of parents and kids, or multi-generation family gatherings, my aim is simple: create images you’ll want to display and hand down. My approach is conversational and calm. I guide families with gentle prompts so children feel safe and free to be themselves, and so even camera-shy parents relax into natural, joyful expressions. Sessions are unhurried and fun — I look for the laughter, the quiet glances, the pets jumping into the frame — then craft those moments into contemporary, heirloom-quality artwork. From location scouting around Edmonton’s best parks and river valleys to selecting the right light and wardrobe tips, I’m with you through every step. Timeless • Modern • Heirlooms. Beyond the shoot, I help clients turn photographs into beautiful keepsakes: canvas, metallic wall art, framed prints and heirloom albums are all part of the story. I’ll also guide you on where and how to hang your artwork so it becomes part of your home and family life. Cynthia Priest Photography prides itself on a caring, professional experience: quick turnaround, attentive communication and a collaborative selection process so you end up with images you genuinely love. While family photography is my specialisation, I also accept portrait and maternity sessions as complementary work — always delivered with the same thoughtful style and attention to detail. If you want candid, romantic family photography in Edmonton that becomes treasured artwork for years to come, let’s talk. I’d love to learn about your family, your favourite places and the moments you want to remember forever.
