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!
This is just a little random post since I can’t resist showing some product shots.
First off, baby Zoey’s 11×14 wall print, which turned out fabulous:
This also explains what is included with Digital Collection I.
And a little sneak peek of baby Brysen’s newborn/family session:
I think these images make such an impressive wall display, such a gorgeous family!
More to come soon!
I first introduced “B” in this post here. I wanted to come back and share a few more of her maternity photo session. She was a beautiful model and so much fun to photograph!
Her 3 year-old little guy, soon to be big brother, joined his beautiful mom for some:
I love the serenity in this one:
And this is one of my favorites:
I will be featuring her baby’s session very soon, be sure to come back.
I already introduced little Zoey here but I couldn’t resist to come back and post a few more from her session. She’s just too adorable and we got so many cute ones.
This one has become a personal favorite:
Seriously, how cute can she be?
There is nothing more adorable than a happy, beautiful baby:
Love the way she’s holding on to her toy:
And because I have so many favorites, I had to put them all in a little slideshow:
Little Adalyn was only 3 days old when she came to the studio for her newborn photo session, the youngest newborn baby that I have photographed.
She behaved really well, as you can see:
And isn’t this last image just amazing? She’s smiling and looking at her mom, such a sweet moment:
Thank you, ‘K’, for bringing your little one to me for her newborn session. It was my pleasure photographing her, she was just so sweet!
Many times, after viewing the online gallery with the images from your session, you may be a little hesitant as to what wall size print to get. It’s perfectly normal to wonder and there are a few steps that will make this decision a little easier.
I first advise to choose where you want your images to be displayed. The living room or family room is usually a good place to start. Most people like the 8×10 size of their favorite image to go on the wall over the sofa.
Let’s see how that looks:
Kind of puny, isn’t it? That is a regular size sofa and, as you can see, that 8×10 canvas of your favorite image looks like a postage stamp on the wall. Not very impressive at all. In fact, it will be rather hard to see unless you’re standing right next to it.
How about a canvas that is proportioned to your sofa and wall?
The difference is quite striking, isn’t it? While, at first, the 20×40 inches size may seem too large, when hung up on the wall above the sofa, it looks harmonious and perfectly sized. Your image becomes the focus of attention, as it should be. I recommend canvases because they are an instant piece of art and come ready to hang. Canvases are also durable and have an archival life of 150 years, when cared for properly. It’s an investment that will become a family heirloom.
Now let’s compare the 8×10 with the other popular sizes of 11×14 and 16×10:
Even the 16×20 doesn’t feel quite right, if it were by itself. And you start to realize how ridiculous that 8×10 is up on the wall. That is actually why I recommend 8×10 prints to be displayed as tabletop decor items on an easel.
If you can’t choose your favorite image, then a group display of 3-4 images becomes a good option:
It’s a good way to incorporate variety without compromising your favorite choice. You can also see that smaller sizes look right at home in a group display setting, as they help balance the anchor piece.
Another popular place to display your baby’s images is the nursery:
What better wall decorations to have in your baby’s nursery than her own baby pictures to look at? This is a group display that will look perfect on any wall. Many smiles and happy moments guaranteed!
Your favorite classic image as one large canvas in black and white is instant art that will never go out of style.
And that is why, when it comes to wall displays of your favorite images, bigger is better!
As a reminder, you receive a 20-25% discount on wall prints and canvases with the purchase of digital collections II and III. I’m also available to help you decide what size and image will be a best fit for your custom wall display.
For those of you who don’t know, this is where I’m from:
Do you remember this beautiful mom here? She had her surprise baby last week, an adorable baby boy!
Isn’t he just so cute? And all that hair! This first image has become one of my all-time favorites! Just love it!
This is just the sneak peek, lots more coming soon!
Reflections by Cindy is looking for newborn models! I am looking for one newborn boy and one newborn girl to model my new sets ups. Please note that baby must be under 10 days of age on the day of the session.
