Dravas Photography

        Nothing makes me happier than when I find new clients and we immediately seem to vibe together.  When I spoke to Cyd’s mom on the phone, I was flattered when she told me how she’d spoken with several other photographers, but she just knew that I was the photographer for them!  When we met for coffee, there was an instant connection, and I feel confident that these ladies and I will be lifelong friends.  It was a treat to have this stunning young woman in front of my camera; not only is she a knock out beauty, she can literally knock you out — Cydnee is an aspiring MMA fighter!! We wanted to make sure to visit several different types of places and get a number of different looks at some fun modeling pictures that would hopefully work for her portfolio.  Fortunately, we found a few locations that were perfect and ended up having an incredible time!

        Cydnee began studying martial arts when she was 5 years old; today, her parents are working hard to make their daughter’s dream of becoming a star in professional MMA a reality. She was victorious in her last fight and was chosen for a scene with Miesha tate in the upcoming film, Fight Valley. Cyd was even lucky enough to train a little with Miesha while they were on the set. There are few things that are as physically and emotionally challenging as the life of a professional fighter, it takes a special person to challenge themselves daily to achieve that goal of one day fighting in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans.  I honestly can’t wait to see what the future holds for her; one day, I just know that I’ll be cheering her on as she fights professionally for the UFC!  If mixed martial arts is something you’re interested in, check out Cydnee’s gym Childs Play Fight & Fitness Gym. Or even if you’re not, but you’d like to see where her journey takes her, please visit her professional Facebook page and give her a like a follow.  Also, if Twitter is your thing, follow er there as well!
