Cindi Zdrinc went to DePaul University in Chicago, IL and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Digital Cinema with a focus on video editing and color correcting. Along the way, she discovered her love for photography when she took a prerequisite class in Photography I. Her passion for photography only grew when her assignments brought her to the city streets to capture people in their natural element. She found a niche in candid moments. This expanded into her developing a portfolio that attracted a production studio in Chicago that serviced corporations like Allstate, McDonald's, and Pfizer. She soon found herself working with high-end clients shooting corporate events, taking professional head shots for corporate leaders, and documenting company events. Today, she has a portfolio that spans from corporate events to bar mitvahs to concert photography to food photography to family birthday parties. She finds a great joy in being able to supply and deliver captured memories for her clients.

Ever since my teenage years, I’ve been drawn to the power of visual storytelling. My passion for capturing life through a lens began early, and that love for photography only deepened with time. I formally studied photography in college, where I gained a solid foundation in both technical skills and creative expression. In 1987, I had the honor of photographing my first wedding—a pivotal moment that set the course for my lifelong journey behind the camera. For many years, I worked part-time as a photographer, balancing my craft with other commitments while continuing to hone my skills and develop my unique style. In 2010, I took a leap and turned my passion into a full-time profession by launching my own photography business. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing meaningful moments, whether it's the joy of a wedding day, the quiet emotion in a portrait, or the beauty of everyday life. Photography is more than a job for me—it's a lifelong calling to preserve memories and tell stories through light, emotion, and artistry.

I have experience photographing a wide variety of things. I have experience photographing seniors, families, children, newborns, maternity, small events, large events, rallies, and weddings which I am partial to. I have traveled to several areas in the U.S. for photo shoots, including in FL, NY, OH, and NYC, with several more scheduled. I am always looking for new and innovative ideas to push the mark and create something unique. I can think of nothing more I'd rather do with my life then to photograph it. In addition to the courses I took in high school, I also took several photography courses in college and was apart of the Film club to which my husband was the president of. I have also attended several online photography courses and trainings.
