Brotherly Love on Film Part I | Personal Photography

I just got film back, and even though I keep to myself most of the images of my kids, I wanted to share the world these photographs, because they represent what I am proud of. I am proud to be the mother of these two loving boys.  For those of you that don't know, I expecting my third boy in 7 weeks (warning, my boys always come early). And I already can't wait to see my new baby boy. And I can't wait to see how my older boys will interact with the baby. Yes, I will be a lot of work, and my world will be shaken up one more time; but these images are a reflection of their love and their lives, and they make it all worth it. 

I decided to make a series of Brotherly Love Blogs about my boys this year, as much as time would allow me.  I will make it my personal project for the year. So I encourage you to keep coming back for more!!!

Happy 9th Anniversary | Personal Photography

Today, on Valentines Day, my husband and I celebrate our 9th Wedding Anniversary. There is not a real romantic reason why we got married on this day. And even though we got married 3 times within a period of two months (one civil ceremony, one big church wedding, both in Panama; and one wedding in Canada), we still celebrate on this busy, hard to find reservations, and baby sitters, day. 

We celebrate on Valentines Day because perhaps it was truly one of the happiest day of our lives. And that is romantic about it! In these past 9 years, we have celebrated our anniversary in 4 different countries, and I have been pregnant 3 times out of 9. 

These past 9 years have been a real adventure, and a rocky roller-coaster at times, but we stand strong with a beautiful growing family, and I can't wait for what the future has in store for us. 

You, the subject of many of my pictures; my biggest supporter; the best father I could ever ask for my kids; my rock, the creator of music in our house.  Happy Anniversary, I love you more than ever!

Bye Bye 2012... A Year in Review

Last year was certainly an amazing year for Cyntia Apps Photography. The year 2012 was a year for growth, both in a personal and professional level. 

Among other things, I participated in one of the most amazing photography workshops out there: T & T Dynamite Art of Directing; made my first appearance in WPPI in Vegas; I launched my website - www.cyntiaappphotography.com-; I got to photograph wildlife, people, and the most wonderful nature settings in South Africa & United Arab Emirates; I had the opportunity to second shoot weddings and shot my first wedding ever; my pictures went on a cover of an album and soon to go live on iTunes; in-love couples became my favorite subjects to photographs; and finally, I got to shoot many beautiful new and returning families. 

With that said, I can't thank enough my family and my clients for supporting my art. I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for us! 

Here are some of my favorite images from the year 2012 with in no specific order, or chronology.
