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!
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:
I am excited to introduce a new product: 2011 Calendars!
Here you can see how they look printed and ready to hang (excuse the poor quality photo, the weather has been very drabby lately):
The large ones are 12″x18″ and the smaller ones are 8″x12″. The upper corners are drilled to allow for a ribbon to hang. As you can see, these are very versatile and can be customized in lots of ways.
Contact me to purchase any of these or to order your own customized calendar.
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.

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!
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!
This is sweet little Ella, whom I met last week. Ella recently turned one and her mom wanted to celebrate the occasion by having some portraits taken of her.
We started inside, in the natural light studio. Ella wasn’t too sure of me at first, but she really liked playing with the beads.
I like how this black and white image is so classic, it will never go out of style. And I loved her little earrings, so adorable!
We also stepped outside, it was a beautiful morning in the garden. Ella definitely liked it better. Doesn’t she have such gorgeous blue eyes?
Thank you, ‘T’, for coming with your adorable daughter. Enjoy the sneak peek!
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 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.
