Magical moments with santa are here!
Maternity & Newborn Sessions
"a baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty"
"better than I hoped!"
"We did a maternity session with Cynthia and the pictures were even better than I could've hoped. Our family isn't the most comfortable in front of the camera but she put us at ease and captured moments I didn't even realize had happened. Plus the lighting, clouds, and landscape she captured in the backgrounds were incredible! I can't wait for our newborn session. Would definitely recommend her for your photos!"
W Family
welcome to the world!
Sometimes we look back at certain moments in our lives and realize they rushed passed us so quickly. The whirlwind that comes after having a baby is one of those times.
Welcoming a new baby into the world brings a wealth of emotion. Joy, excitement, and love all fill your heart the moment you set eyes on your precious newborn baby. It was the birth of my children that propelled me into this world of photography so I know firsthand how you want to capture every little moment with your baby and those tiny newborn details that will soon change before your eyes.
It is a given that newborn sessions will be full of love. We spend our time together cuddling your new baby and admiring their tiny details. By focusing my camera on your connection with your baby, I create more than photographs, I preserve these precious memories for you into everlasting artwork that has the power to bring to how you felt when you first met your baby.
"I couldn't have asked for more beautiful photos to announce our newest family member."
