At Cedar + Moss Studios, we believe that the best moments are the ones that are real, raw, and unfiltered. Our approach to photography goes beyond simply taking a picture; it's about telling your story in the most authentic way possible. We specialize in capturing those fleeting, imperfect, and beautiful moments that make up your life—because those are the moments that truly matter.

Not Your Typical Photoshoot

If you’re looking for stiff poses and forced smiles, we might not be the right fit for you. That’s because our photography style is all about keeping things relaxed, fun, and natural. We don’t follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, we focus on creating an experience that feels personal, comfortable, and, most importantly, *real*.

Our sessions are play-based and driven by emotion, allowing you to forget about the camera and simply be yourselves. Whether it’s a family session with your little ones, a maternity shoot filled with excitement for the journey ahead, or a branding session that highlights the essence of your business, we make sure your personality and genuine connection shine through. We want to capture the real you—no fluff, no fakeness.

Play-Based and Fun, Not Stiff and Awkward

Gone are the days of posing for hours, staring at the camera with a stiff smile. We believe in bringing out the best in you by making our photoshoots feel like a fun, relaxed experience. Whether it’s running around the park with your family, having a laugh with your partner, or playing with your kids, we encourage you to embrace those little moments of joy. These candid, play-based interactions are the heart of what we do.

We’ll guide you, but in a way that feels like a conversation rather than a strict directive. Our goal is to make you forget about the camera entirely and just enjoy the moment, which allows us to capture authentic emotions and genuine connections.

Capturing Real Life Moments

We believe the magic lies in the small moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. It’s the way your child laughs as they chase a butterfly, the way you look at your partner when they say something funny, or that quiet moment when your family is just together. These real-life moments are the ones that tell your story. We focus on bringing those moments to life with our lens, so when you look back at your photos, you’ll remember exactly how you felt in that instant.

We don’t edit out the realness of life. We embrace it. From the raw emotions to the everyday quirks, we make sure your photos reflect who you truly are, not just how you look.

Why Our Approach Works

Our style stands out because we’re not interested in just getting a "good shot." We're after the heart of the moment—the emotion, the connection, the authenticity. This is what separates us from other photographers. Our clients often tell us that after their session, they feel like they've just spent time hanging out with old friends. And that's exactly how we want it to feel.

We don’t rush through the shoot, and we certainly don’t push you into uncomfortable positions. We want your photos to feel as natural and as fun as the memories themselves.

It’s All About You

At the end of the day, photography is about storytelling. And at Cedar + Moss Studios, we make sure that story is *yours*. From the little details that make your family unique to the big moments that change your life, we want to capture it all in a way that feels true to who you are.

So, whether you’re marking a milestone, creating memories with your loved ones, or telling the story of your brand, we’re here to make sure your photos reflect the real, beautiful you—full of life, love, and all the perfect imperfections in between.

We can’t wait to tell your story through our lens. Let’s create something beautiful together.
