Super excited to share that Cindy Schultz Photography is now a certified NYS Women-owned Business Enterprise! It was an arduous process to apply, and I’m grateful to Janet Tanguay and Hammock Way of Life LLC for suggesting I do it and then helping me along the way. I’ve spread my wings, and now I’m open for business with state-affiliated entities. And, no, I’m not a DEI hire. I’m the real deal!

Fun, small-town Vermont travel piece that I photographed for the Washington Post.

In a state lacking for q***r nightlife, Babes provides a friendly space for the LGBTQ+ community while catering to its small-town regulars.

Super excited to share that my images of advocates at the NYS Capitol during 2022 budget negotiations have been selected by the American Photography jury, and they'll be included in this year's AP39 book. Woohoo!

The new year started with an assignment to cover Gov. Kathy Hochul's inaugural ceremony. Wearing white to honor the women's suffrage movement, Gov. Hochul becomes the first woman elected to a full term as New York's governor.

My long days covering budget negotiations for NYT at the state Capitol paid off. This image of Gov. Kathy Hochul is top of the fold in Times Union's print copy (which was rescued from a rain puddle) and in The New York Times digital version.

The heartbreaking image of tanks rolling into Kyiv is hard to look at, but my image of Jacquie King joyfully singing in church helps balance the front page of The Washington Post. I was one of several contributors to this story about Blue States dropping mask mandates and how people, businesses and places of worship were responding to these changes.

Awesome to team up with former TU colleague Jane Gottlieb and work on this story for The Washington Post. Four photographers in different parts of the country contributed pictures. Locals will recognize the street scenes in Saratoga Springs, NY. Jane and I also visited two Catholic churches in the area.

The mask era appears to be on the decline as the coronavirus pandemic lurches into a third year, another turning point on the circuitous path to normalcy.

Paislee Shultis, 6, has been missing for over two years, and police have long suspected the biological parents of abducting her. The police recieved a solid tip that finally secured a search warrant and Paislee was found hiding in a secret compartment under the stairs at the Saugerties, NY home. I worked on this story for CNN.
