The Horizon Team
Where confidence begins and dreams take shape.
The Horizon Team is a curated group of incoming high school freshmen and sophomores who are ready to explore their creativity, grow in confidence, and begin their journey as part of the Cindy Curtis Photography family. It’s a smaller, intentional version of our Senior Team — designed just for girls who are discovering who they are and where they’re headed.
This team is more than just cute photos (though there will definitely be those!) — it’s about helping young women step into themselves with courage and joy. Through fun shoots, group hangouts, and meaningful connection, Horizon girls are reminded that they don’t need to change or perform — who they are right now is already enough.
It’s a supportive space where friendships are built, voices are heard, and every girl is encouraged to show up exactly as she is. This is a place to grow, belong, and shine — no pressure, just purpose.
This is where the journey begins — just over the horizon.
