About The Artist

Let me introduce myself...  I’m Cindi Kay McDaniel and I’ve been studying humans behind layers of glass for over 30 years.  But, don’t let that number make you think I'm old school!  I’m a pretty hip chick who continues to not only challenge myself with a strap around my neck every chance I get, I also love to challenge others to look deeper to find their true photogenic selves because everyone has that place within them.  It's my job to help them find that place and in some pretty fun and creative ways!  You see, I don’t like to stay in the same place with my art.  I like for it evolve, grow and change because staying in the same place artistically would just get old and who wants to live that life?...  Not this girl!
 
I’ve taken my gear from coast to coast and especially love shooting fashion in NYC, ATLANTA and MIAMI.  I can always find an abundance of wonderful faces to shoot in my southeastern based studio.  I welcome visitors from throughout the southern region (and occasionally beyond) and what an incredible time we have there in those walls! 
 
The blessings have been many and I’m so thankful for each and every spirit I am able to capture in a special creative way.  
 
OH, did I mention I absolutely love to dabble in makeup artistry?  If I create a cosmetic look for you there is NEVER A CHARGE for any extra creative attention you may receive to prepare for your photoshoot.  Most of my clients arrived pre-styled and ready to be photographed, but I’m a pretty accomplished makeup artist, especially with high fashion looks.  Did somebody say winged eyeliner?  I just happen to have my very own line of cosmetics and stand ready to create a truly unique look that will work perfectly for you!  
 
From fashion shoots in the big city to pageant headshots and senior portraits here at home, I may just be your photographer.  So, let’s get to WERK!
