Welcome to Thistle Street Photography, I’m Cindy. Thistle was my cross street growing up. If anyone asked where I lived I would direct them to Thistle Street. As children, the corner on Thistle was our meeting point, where we plotted out our next adventure on West Seattle summer days. When my husband and I purchased our house, by luck or fate, I came back home to Thistle, and its familiar and comforting stories.
I work in education by day, previously teaching middle school for seven years and now supporting other teachers in their growth with equitable curriculum and instruction for our students. I’m also a mom to one very brave and adventurous three-year-old who HATES my camera (Que the meltdown as soon as I put it on). I have long been wanting for something creative in my life, and as I started to see my daughter’s story unfold at home on Thistle, I realized I need to create in a medium which tells a story. That is why I ask you to invite me into your home, into your life, to help you tell your tale.
