Cynthia Azzam I am Cynthia Azzam, spicy, bubbly and creative. My photography is signed cynaZZam for a hint of whimsy and fun. I am of Lebanese origins and very American at heart. My background is in decor, in hospitality and in esthetics. I grew up surrounded by beauty, artistry is very important and I have the eye for it. I love color, I love glamour and I love drama and most of all I love to combine them all. My style is Hollywood glamour, chic yet quirky, whimsical and elegant. My photography will take you back in time where beauty was powerful and masculinity was defined. I have been capturing life on camera since a young teen, I travel and love to record my adventures, my purpose in photographing everything I see is to remember the essence of the place I’m visiting. I started professional portraiture recently this year, in 2015, and my passion is to bring out your beauty. I want to make the viewer feel your emotions and to make you see how beautiful you are. A smile from your eyes can express so many thoughts.

Jessi Becker “Originally from Las Vegas, I have lived in Houston for the past 5 years now. Photography has always been one of my greatest passions! I started out in the dark room when I was 17 and have not been able to put down the camera since then. Though film was fun, there is no doubt the benefits of the digital world and I have since gone through several DSLRs. At first, I dabbled in many areas of photography but quickly found my niche in the wedding industry. Having spent the last 8 years growing in the craft there is no doubt that nothing else in life makes me happier. Weddings in particular are where I seem to do my best work. There are only a couple areas in photography where I feel like I, as an individual, am moved emotionally. Weddings are definitely number one on that list. I have been full time with my business for the last 3 years and each year I have continued to grow and stretch myself as an artist. I love that at no point in this career do I feel like I have arrived. There is no arriving. You have to continue to learn new techniques, stay up with the latest equipment, come up with new methods for marketing, client relations, etc. I love the challenge! Both as an artist and a business owner I am constantly pushing myself to be the best version of myself that I can. I am truly excited about where I have been, where I am and also where I am going on this road!”
