Cynthia Dawson Photography

Imagine looking back at your photos and feeling the joy, the love, and the connection all over again. That's what I aim to capture-the real, candid moments that make life beautiful, but with a touch of romance, magic, and fun. Your photos will do more than capture a moment; they'll unlock the love you feel, evoking all the emotions you experience about your family each time you look at them.

My Services

As a photographer based in Toledo, Ohio, I specialize in emotion-filled portrait photography, including newborn, maternity, and family sessions. I offer high-quality, heirloom portrait sessions that capture the unique love and connection of your family. My services extend beyond just taking photos, as I provide a complimentary one-on-one styling service to ensure that your wardrobe flows and you can relax and enjoy your session.

My Story

My love for photography grew when my daughter Ava was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I wanted to capture her every moment and have a way for her to always be with me. Looking at those photographs now helps our family in so many ways. Without our photos of her, the pain of losing her would hurt even more. Ava taught me so much about life in her short five years, and one of those things was the value of photography. It is something we don't think about until the years have passed and the moments that we are living today are nothing more than memories. I have been given a gift to share with you that allows me to capture everything about your family you want to always hold on to.

Why Choose Me?

If you want photographs that highlight your family's love, connection, and the beautiful details of your children that will soon change, then I am the photographer for you. I understand the value of photography and the importance of capturing life's precious moments. I have been featured in various publications and would be honored to be your local Toledo Ohio photographer, serving the Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan areas, including Toledo, Sylvania, Maumee, Holland, Perrysburg, and Oregon.

Get to Know Me

I would love to get to know you and your family! When I'm not behind the camera, I'm a busy mom to my four kiddos- Ava, Miss M, Jr, and Archie (the baby!). They steal more of my heart every day, and I am in awe of the little people they are turning into.

Thank you for considering Cynthia Dawson Photography for your photography needs. I look forward to the opportunity to capture your family's love and connection through photography.
