My name is Cindy and I'm located in Utah. I specialize in natural light portrait photography of newborns, babies, toddlers and children. I take on a very limited number of sessions in order to dedicate the most of my time and talent to your session. Your portraits will be treasured works of art for you and your family. This is where you will find sneak peeks from sessions, product reviews, contests and model calls, and even some personal photos. You are welcome to leave a comment at any time. Thanks 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!
This is baby Kailiyah, who is 9 months old. We had a little mini session last friday- isn’t she so adorable?
The beautiful dress came from Nanny Birds.
Thank you, ‘S’, for bringing your beautiful daughter, it was my pleasure meeting you.
I have been planning this mini session for some time. First, I ordered this new floor (which I love) and knew it would take some time to ship. While I waited, I found the antique child’s chair at a local store. My father was a master carpenter and along the years I picked up a few tidbits so I was able to know that it is indeed an antique- and I love it too, it has so much character.
Next, I had to convince my little model to sit for me. I would have preferred to have the session at the natural light studio where the light is more directional and dramatic, but it turned out that we were snowed in on Saturday morning. I set up in my front room and the light turned out lovely, bouncing off all the snow in the yard. In the end, my little guy agreed to sit for me in exchange for some fruit gummies (he’ll be 2 1/2 by the end of next month, so a good bribe is indispensable).
One of my favorites from the session (I added a texture to the background for more ‘mood’):
A different texture to this one, to add some depth, and my subject trying to hold back:
I just love it how he still curls his toes, so adorable:
This is a little ‘game’ we’ve been playing with him since he was younger- we ask ‘Where’s the face?” and he responds with this, which we all in the family totally love:
And this series just makes me laugh- he’s holding his smile back, it’s so funny:
And I found this quote, which I thought was so appropriate:
“A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he’s being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he’s wearing or how he looks. He’s implicated in what’s happening, and he has a certain real power over the result.”- Richard Avedon
“Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen”
- Theophile Gautier
I had a hard time deciding which ones to post, if color or black and white. In any case, you will agree that baby Jamison’s eyes are gorgeous and soulful.
He was playing with me:
Even when he’s serious, he’s so adorable:
I’m pretty sure his Mom can’t resist the little pout, so cute:
See what I’m talking about- look at those eyes!
Thank you, ‘D’, for bringing your sweet boy, I had so much fun meeting him.
This is a sneak peek of baby Jamison, a 9 month old baby boy. He has the cutest cheeks and beautiful brown eyes.
More to come later.
“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves.”

This is baby Avery, who is turning 1 very soon. I showed her sneak peek before and had to come back and post some more for her mom, who has been very patiently waiting.
Avery was really happy and a joy to work with, I think the following images speak for themselves:
And some in black and white, which I also love:
Thank you, ‘C’, for bringing over your adorable little girl, hope you will enjoy these!
Do you remember baby Andrew from a few weeks ago? I had to come back and post a few more of his session- he behaved so well and the light was just perfect that day. I love the classic feel of some of these images. I prefer simplicity so the focus of the session falls on the adorable subject:
This next one is one of my favorites from the session:
This is another favorite, love his expression here:
I have to mention that Andrew’s mom brought him over to my natural light studio space that I have available for newborn and baby sessions. It’s a great alternative when in-home sessions are not possible and also very conveniently located for out-of-town visitors, only 40 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. E-mail me for more details.
This is little Avery. She will be turning 1 next month. I love how genuine her expression and smile are! And that dimple, so adorable!
This is a brief sneak peek for her mom- thank you so much for coming!
Actually, more than one! I had to come back and post a few more of baby Noah- he did so well and I love the variety that we got at his mini session last week.
I love this last one, he’s so gorgeous, don’t you agree?:)
Ah, I think I have a new favorite age to photograph. Baby Andrew is almost 9 months and he was such a joy to work with. Babies this age are so full of personality as they grow and discover all the wonderful things around them. Mine is such a rewarding job, to be able to capture these fleeting moments in a photograph.
This is a little sneak peek for his mom- hope you enjoy it, ‘C’.
