About Lux et Umbra

Lux et Umbra (Light and Shadow) is a celebration of wild, precious humanity through visual art and photography. 


Each photo session is an invitation to commune with your truest, highest self in the wild spaces within your mind, soul, and body. It is a moment taken in the natural world to appreciate, recognize, and honor where you've been, where you are, where you hope to go.


Cyn's vivid, magical realism style draws from her experience in the liminal spaces where life's spiraling nature tends to overlap.  She holds space in nature's majesty, creating a sacred world for you to step into your most luminous form.

Ex Animo Sessions


Ex Animo are the creative, immersive portrait sessions that witness and celebrate change and transformation in all its forms. 


We visually honor celebrations, personal transformation, life transitions, revelations, barriers broken, and new paths embarked, by holding sacred space, the place where the true self can be safely revealed. 

“Light and shadow by turns, but love always.”

Our most authentic self is our sacred ground. Being seen and celebrated for who we are at our core is our right.
