Today we’d like to introduce you to Cydnee Jex.
Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?
I began photographing in high school and began really developing my craft almost a decade ago. I found a passion for photography from the very first moments with my own children. Being a part of such tender stages is such a blessing and honor. I have three beautiful children who are ten, six and two. My husband John and I also have two crazy dogs! I love to mountain bike in my spare time and being outside.
Please tell us about your art.
I believe everyone deserves to give their children beautiful, timeless portraits. I love seeing my family on the walls in my own home – memories should be enjoyed everyday. I love the expression I can give through my images while also creating something really special for my clients. I work heavily in my studio but love traveling and truly feel the wanderlust in my soul! I love monochromatic themes and neutral tones and textures.
I found early that pregnancy and newborns are my favorite subjects and the focus of my work. I know pregnant women, myself included, can feel self-conscious during pregnancy. So, I have spent hours perfecting how I work with pregnant women to slim them down while enhancing their feminine curves and showing them the beauty of their own bodies. And then I have the privilege of photographing this new little human. The child that makes my client a Mother and a Father. I get to freeze this moment, this fleeting journey of their lives and give it back to them to keep for generations.
Choosing a creative or artistic path comes with many financial challenges. Any advice for those struggling to focus on their artwork due to financial concerns?
You can create art anywhere and with anything. Many top photographers in the world began in small apartments with the little resources they have. Don’t set your own ceilings and limits. Find the light and go create!
How or where can people see your work? How can people support your work?
I am currently part of the Motherhood Society for Beauty and Lifestyle Mommy Magazine. I am one of two editorial photographers in Texas for them. I also photograph for Southern Motherhood Magazine.
