My name is Cindy and I'm located in Utah. I specialize in natural light portrait photography of maternity, newborns, babies and children. I consider each session unique and each client special. I dedicate my time and talent to creating the absolute best portraits for you. This blog showcases recent sessions, new product reviews, and even some personal photos. Please feel free to leave a comment at any time. Thank you for visiting!
Do you remember this little guy’s session, here and here? Well, baby Noah is now 6 months older and came back for his 1 year photo session. The weather was perfect in the late afternoon and Noah enjoyed being outside on the grass. We even got some adorable smiles, don’t you think?
Thanks, ‘C’, for bringing your little guy to me for his 1 year portraits! I had so much fun working with him again!
The new Mountain West Women’s Center had it’s official inauguration and ribbon-cutting ceremony today. It’s a beautiful new addition to the Mountain West Medical Center in Tooele Utah, with state-of-the-art facilities that include new 8 labor & delivery rooms, 5 postpartum rooms and 1 fully-equipped operating room.
I am very proud to collaborate in this new project with my newborn artwork. Fourteen beautiful images were chosen from my portfolio and printed as fine art gallery wrap canvases in 24×36″ size. Two of these were hung just in time for today’s open house.
Please excuse the quick and poor-quality pictures:
a very spacious labor & delivery room.
a postpartum room.
They are quite large and beautiful in detail, it’s so exciting to see them displayed in this new building.
The remaining 12 will soon grace more walls and I will update when they are hanging.
Edited to Add- you may now view the remaining display at this link:
I introduced these sweet siblings recently and had to come up and post some more from their session. After having rescheduled due to weather, we were very happy with nice afternoon and slightly overcast sky. Despite their young age and the travel time to me in the late afternoon, Brianna and Kameron were very well behaved and working with them was a treat.
After wearing their own outfits, we got them changed into some more vintage inspired clothing from my prop closet.
Doesn’t she look so sweet?
Her little brother was so cute and looked just adorable in the seersucker romper.
This is one has to be my favorite, the antique chair and their vintage clothes, with the black and white conversion, just lends this image such a timeless feel.
And here it is in color, which I also love.
‘K’, thank you so much for bringing your adorable children, I had a wonderful time with them.
I love pretty things. Who doesn’t, right? Being a custom photographer is just not all about taking pictures, I like to present beautiful portraits in beautiful packaging as well.
When a client books a session with me, I make it a special experience, from start to finish. And this includes the final products and the way they arrive to you.
This was for a Child Session, which includes the digital images on a DVD, the 5×7 reference prints and one wall portrait. The large prints are mounted (and may be displayed on easels) and the disc and reference prints come in a presentation box. You can also see 2 mini accordion albums, which are just so cute in person.
And here it is, all ready to be delivered.
I can’t wait to see the client’s reaction when she opens her order!

I am a little behind on my editing and blogging, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to introduce to you these beautiful sisters who came for a garden photo session a few weeks ago. This is the best time of the year for an outdoor photo session, before the hot weather starts drying out all the beautiful plants and flowers, and the green turns yellowish and flat. The garden in Tooele is beautiful and I always make sure it’s reserved exclusively for each session.
You will see how they all have such gorgeous dark eyes and hair, and although similar, each of them is so unique. They also loved the petti skirts that I brought for them to wear, and they modeled them so well.
First up is a sweet little Briela. She was quiet and shy, but still so good about sitting for me.
And this is Liliana, who loved to play with her sisters and twirl around in the petti skirts. She definitely knew which petti skirt she liked best.
Next up is Adalia, who can be so spunky and totally sweet at the same time.
And big sister is Celeste, poised and calm and taking it all in:
Thank you, ‘L’, for bringing your beautiful daughters to me. It was so great meeting you all!
I introduced baby Ella last week and I had to come back and share a few more images from her session. The light in the studio was beautiful that morning and I really like her black and white portraits, such a classic and timeless feel to them.
Her mom brought this dress especially for the session:
I always love how close-ups show the eyes and facial expressions so well:
And this one is so adorable, she was blowing kisses at her mom:
This is one of my favorites from the garden part of her session. I added a light vintage processing to enhance the overall feel of this portrait.
Thank you, ‘T’, for bringing your beautiful daughter to me for her portraits. I had so much fun working with her!
As I was working on Calvin’s DVD last week, I noticed I hadn’t posted all of the adorable macro shots from his newborn session. I have a soft spot for all the little details and I couldn’t resist coming back and showing you these.
A facial close-up, with beautiful eyelashes.
And, of course, some feet close-ups:
How adorable are these little piggies:
And in black and white, since I can’t make up my mind which one I like better:
And the flaky, peely skin, such a newborn feature:
And this one, it just makes me smile:
Thanks for visiting and Happy Monday!
Last week I decided it was time to take my 2 youngest for a little photo session. They are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 and quite have a mind of their own at times. I bribed and dangled promises of their favorite things and then crossed my fingers that it would all work out.
As soon as we arrived and had them remove their shoes, they took off running in all directions! The older one was easier to bring back with the old bribes but the little one was quite impossible to reason with. He kept screaming ‘Done!’ but I wasn’t. I almost gave up and packed everything.
I remembered the bubbles and handed them over to my 4 year old. After a few minutes, the younger one saw all the attention and decided to join him. I just sat down and waited for the right moment.
I’m so in love with it, I’m blowing it up big!

listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time”

Aren’t they so adorable? And so well behaved too!
