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!
My new Etsy store is now open (click on the image to follow the link):
I ‘m so excited to start this new venture but it will be a work in progress as I build inventory. Macro and floral photography is something that I really love to do and , after several requests, I am ready to share the results of my work with others. I find flowers and nature so inspiring and it is my wish that my images will inspire you too.
Go take a peek and let me know what you think. 
After several requests, I am so pleased to announce that I will soon be offering fine art prints of my macro and floral photography work. You may visit my website to see the macro gallery, under the menu ‘portfolio’:

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.

I know what you’re thinking: “Mother’s Day? That’s over 2 months away!” And yes, that’s true. But I know how busy we all are these days, and important dates sneak up on us. So we’re getting a head start today.
This year, treat yourself for Mother’s Day with a beautiful charm bracelet featuring photo charms of your child(ren).
This is a very limited time offer- during the months of March, April and May, a charm bracelet will be included with the purchase of digital Collection II when you reserve a session with ‘Reflections by Cindy’. You will receive one bracelet per family with one charm of each child, featuring your favorite image. This is an exclusive offer and you will only be able to get this charm bracelet during this time.
This charm bracelet is a beautiful keepsake that every mother should have so don’t miss this chance to add one to your collection. E-mail me today with your questions and to book your session.
It’s not a secret, I have a special love for newborns. New babies are special and they need all the love and care to grow. Unfortunately, in some unprivileged countries, mothers do not have the most essential basics, including a cap to keep the baby warm.
I just found out about this initiative, Caps for Good, Newborn & Child Survival Campaign. They are asking people to knit and crochet baby caps to be sent to developing countries with newborn care kits. It started in September and it end on the last day of this month. I wish I would have known about it a little earlier, but there is still time. My daughter and I will be knitting caps with leftover yarn for the next 3 weeks. Then we’ll mail them to the address in NY. My challenge to you is to join in and knit/crochet some too.

I’m trying to make room for new items and just posted some hats and blankets for sale on my Facebook page. Most items are new or only used once, and they were all handknit by me. Follow the link to see them:
If you have any questions, just send me an e-mail.
Thank you!
I’m kicking off the New Year with a new website template. I love how it turned out and how beautifully it showcases the gorgeous little faces that I have been so privileged to photograph.

Reflections by Cindy is proud to announce the 2011 Reflections Calendar is in the works! We are now accepting applications for calendar models. We are looking for newborns under 10 days old and children under the age of 5, with a preference for Tooele area residents.
Reflections Calendar is a fundraising calendar that features 12 months of beautiful photos of local children. The calendar will benefit a children’s charity in Tooele, Utah (to be announced soon). The 2010 Reflections Calendar raised over $2750 for Tooele Valley Community Cooperative.
I am very excited for the New Year, lots of changes coming, lots of opportunities in the making.
First, you may have noticed that the blog looks a bit different, especially at the top. I had received some feedback that some of the drop-down menus were not working, so the new format is more user friendly. Hope you will like as much as I do.
Second, Reflections by Cindy has completely new pricing for 2010. I now offer 3 kinds of sessions (30 minute long Mini Session for 1 child, Full Session for multiple background changes/outfits or siblings, and Newborn Session) that include session fee, digital images on a disc and professional archival prints (Newborn Session also includes birth announcements and a display portrait). You will find that this new pricing list is more simple and yet more versatile. I still offer several professional products so be sure to send me an e-mail to request the full pricing list.
Third, for your convenience, I now offer natural light studio sessions at an indoor location in Tooele. These sessions are only for newborns, babies and young toddlers, for 1 or 2 small children only since space is limited. When booking your session, please let me know if you prefer to come to me and you will receive a discount on your session fee.
