Membership Investment
$950$3,500+ value if booked separately
A full year of professional photography, group shoots, and all edited images at a fraction of what it would cost to book each session individually. Kay's full 2-hour, 2-location session experience alone is $975; this membership gives your teen so much more for less.
Your membership covers everything:
No modeling experience. No specific look. No social media following required. This is designed to celebrate real teens, whatever that looks like for them.
To give every member the personal attention and curated experience they deserve, the CG Crew is intentionally small; just 6 teens total. Two spots are filled and 4 are still available for the right teens.

Limited Spots
We know you want the best for your teen, and we take that seriously. Here's what you can count on.
I'm Kaula Fitzsimmons, but everyone calls me Kay. I'm the photographer behind Cinder & Gold, and I've spent the last 15 years doing what I love: capturing people at their most genuine.
I'm also a mom of three: a 20-year-old, a 15-year-old, and a 14-year-old. My own daughter is on the Crew this year. So when I say I understand what this season of life feels like for both teens and their parents, I mean it from the inside out.
Before photography, I coached competitive cheerleading for years. Working with teens, building their confidence, and creating a team environment; that's just in my DNA. The CG Crew is that same energy, just with a camera in my hand.
Only 4 spots remaining in the 2026 CG Crew. A full year of professional photos, styled shoots, real friendships, and moments they'll never forget.
