Aleya Cydney Photography

I used to DREAD photo shoots, but not with Aleya. This is a whole new game of fun. She is loving and most of all relaxing. We put on music, joked around and I very quickly found my own sense of ease. And the photos showed it. My daughter said, "Mom, I am seriously obsessed with these new photos. Who took them?" "Aleya Cydney," I said, and I can't wait to work with her again soon! More...

We tried to take our own family portraits because we didn’t want to pay for stiff, unnatural photos. I’m so glad Aleya came to the rescue. In a short amount of time she used each of our kid’s personalities to get some amazing, lively shots of them at their best.

When she showed us the proofs, I could have filled an entire room in our house with “the good ones.” I am really impressed that in just a couple of hours she was able to get such a wide variety of fun pictures.

She set the standard really high. We won’t be able to get away with our goofy amateur pictures next year. We fell in love with her easy-going personality and enjoyed the process so much. My kids didn’t want her to leave! More...

Aleya is AMAZING. Not only is she professional and timely, but she is such a joy to work with. She was great with my daughter, who is one year old. She was able to get great reactions from her and was super patient. It was one of the colder days of the summer, but she forged ahead and we got some excellent photos! I HIGHLY recommend Aleya!!!

I loved doing a photo shoot with Aleya. She creates a fun, natural atmosphere while finding interesting backgrounds, poses and scenarios. Having your picture taken over and over can be a strange thing, but with Aleya it goes by quickly, filled with laughter and positive energy. She gives great advice that result in beautiful pictures, and I'm so grateful to have this special time in my life captured in these photos. Although this was a maternity shoot, I know for a fact Aleya is also wonderful with babies and children and would recommend her for those photos as well. Thanks so much, Aleya! More...

She approaches every photo shoot with new and exciting ideas and incorporates the whole family into the process, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable in front of the camera. She has a gift for creating a warm environment that brings out the best, in children especially. She does not sacrifice quality for speed of communication and production from start to finish. Her work is always done in a timely matter at the highest quality. I would highly recommend booking Aleya for your next photo session! More...

Aleya is simply an amazing photographer! She engaged our toddlers so easily and captured their natural happiness. She has photographed our kids multiple times and our little ones have instantly gravitated to her each time. They never want her to leave! She actually makes us all feel so special with each photo and never fails to leave us with a TON of them. We have printed so many to put up in our home and we can't wait to see what she will capture next for our family. You will be so lucky, if you choose Aleya Cydney Photography for your family photos.

Had a family and maternity shoot with Aleya and it was a wonderful experience! Aleya was a pro and such a natural working with our two-year old. She was able to bring out so many smiles and giggles, while keeping him engaged and getting wonderful pictures.

She was very patient, took her time, and came prepared. I've only seen a few preview photos so far, which she had ready just hours after our shoot, and am so excited to see the rest! I would definitely recommend booking her. You won't be disappointed! More...

Aleya is fantastic! We wanted to have a 7-year anniversary photo shoot at our home ~ we, along with our two shelties, are in a fun stage in our adventure together and wanted to capture the moment! Neither of us had ever done a professional family shoot, so we were a bit nervous with poses, outfits, facial expressions…but Aleya met us right where we were and perfectly captured the silliness and love that makes us--us!
Aleya provided a fun and beautiful experience, full of the hot summer sun, singing, laughter, and the greatest of memories neither of us will ever forget. Aleya is creative, engaging, hilarious, and just has the sweetest heart you will ever know. We adored having her at our home and can’t wait for an excuse to do this again! Thank you, Aleya, for sharing your gift and vision with us! More...
