Model Call: Environmental Portraits

Do you love your home? Need a refresh on your photos?

I’m looking for a few people to photograph as I build my portfolio of environmental portraits—images captured in meaningful spaces like your home, backyard, or favorite corner that reflect you in your element.

If you’ve got a little time and a space you love, I’d be thrilled to collaborate. In exchange, you’ll receive 5 edited images for personal use—with a simple shout-out crediting me as the photographer.

Curious about what to expect? Here’s a look at my service offering to give you a feel for the style and what to expect.

If this sounds like a good fit, just reach out—I’d love to connect.

Warmly,
Cia

Mediterranean Facade

San Francisco is a city celebrated for its diverse architectural styles, and Mediterranean-inspired homes are no exception. These homes, with their stucco facades, terracotta roofs, and arched details, exude timeless charm and sophistication. For architectural designers, capturing the exterior of a home isn’t just about taking a beautiful photograph; it’s about documenting their craftsmanship, vision, and contribution to the built environment.

Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a stunning Mediterranean-style home in San Francisco, showcasing the artistry that makes these homes so captivating. The updates to the facade were done by Maro Designs.

Exterior photography not only preserves the elements of the home but also serves as a powerful tool for designers to highlight their expertise and share their work with clients, collaborators, and the community. Documenting homes like this Mediterranean beauty in San Francisco celebrates the artistry of architectural design while ensuring that the legacy of these spaces endures.

If you're ready to showcase your architectural work with stunning, professional photography, I’d love to help. Contact me today at info@ciagould.com to discuss your next project and let’s create visuals that bring your designs to life.

International Women's Day

Happy International Women’s Day to you all!

I want to thank The Luupe for including me in such an awesome project, “How We See Ourselves”.

Visit their blog to check out all the awesome women and see if you can find my photo.

Self-portraits have been a part of my life for so long and I love being among other great women who are expressing self-love, acceptance, and/or sending a message to the world. I am here for it!

Story Windows

As Black History Month winds down, I am so happy to share the Story Windows documentary. I was excited to be a contributor to this beautification project based in Oakland, CA. I want to thank Ric Omphroy for recommending me, Oakland Central, Black Joy Parade, and the people featured in my photos, Nicia De’Lovely, Kemi Amin, Deja, and Kelly Finley. Keep spreading joy and beauty!

Announcing New Services →

The last couple of years have been difficult worldwide. I often think of what everyone is experiencing and the loss they may have had to endure. I am sorry we are all going through this. All throughout 2020 I had a lot of time to reflect on what’s important, what’s not, and how to deal with changes in life.

I’ve decided step away from photographing homes and go back to focusing on portraits for women and surrounding myself with beauty.

There are new portrait session options posted on the site under “Services”. I can’t wait to get started and meet some new people.

I will also be adding 35mm film photography options in the future
