Smash Cake Session | Baby Colin
What all is included in smash cake sessions? I’m so glad you asked! Sessions happen in my photography studio in Canton, GA. I provide all props. We do pre-smash pictures, smash pictures, and fruit bath with bubbles pictures. This is just a sample of the normal flow, though. For instance…
Milestone Session | Baby Jaxon's
I know I have said it before, but I absolutely love following along with a family as they expand and grow. It doesn’t just stop after maternity or newborn photographs. It continues to milestone sessions, smash cake sessions and beyond to graduation, engagement and more. And while milestone sessions are not as popular per se as newborn and smash cake, they are popular and an excellent way to show how much your baby has grown, the milestones they have reached, and just the overall adorableness of your baby!
Newborn Session | Baby Elijah
If you know me at all, you know just how much I love what I do. From maternity to newborn to baby to 1st birthdays and beyond, following alongside each family as they expand and grow is just a tremendous blessing. I always think of these sessions as celebrations I get to be a part of. I mean, how cool that I get to help celebrate the arrival of Baby Elijah by providing pictures that his family and friends can treasure through the ages?!? Helping to document this family’s expansion from 2 people to 3…Elijah’s smile, little fingers, eye lashes, and more filled my heart to overflowing.
Smash Cake Session | Cason turns 1!
Capturing details is something I love to do for families, maternity, newborn and babies alike. I love little toes and noses and fingers and lips and more! So in a smash cake session, I will try to capture those cake smothered fingers, cheeks, lips, cake in hair, cake on booty, cake between the toes and more. We love the big picture but those detail shots really just bring it home for me.
Newborn Session | Baby Mateo
One of the beautiful things about being a newborn, baby and family photographer is being able to walk alongside the family as they expand and group. To watch as mom to be becomes mom of three. To be present…to be INVITED to be a part of their celebration of wonder, new life, milestones met, first birthdays, and many other special events that happen throughout a person’s lifetime. What an honor and blessing!
Maternity Session | Dayan is Having a Baby!
Have you ever had a maternity photography session done? If so, did you walk away feeling beautiful and cherished? I sure hope you did, because you know what? You deserve nothing less than that.
Newborn Session | Baby Everleigh
Why do I love working with newborns? They are each so different but so similar. I love celebrating the growth of a family with the parents. I love delighting in the details of the newest member of their family. I love oohing and aahing over the sounds they make…the grunts, cries, coos. I love laughing along with the parents at the vast number of facial expressions babies make during our session together…smiles, grumpy, hungry, tired, eye rolling and more! And with each baby being different but the same, all of these normal things are like experiencing them for the first time for me. Each and every time!
Newborn Session | Baby Lilliana
What can I say about newborns? Well…I can say a lot, actually! I love how they are each different. Their details make up the unique individual that they are and I am here for all of it! The smiles. The lashes (or no lashes). The grumpy face. The furrowed brow. The hairline. The hair (or lack of hair). The lips. The toes. The fingers. I can go on and on, so I will spare you. Just know each detail is so important and I strive to capture them all!
Newborn Session | Baby Addy
Baby leads our time together. Have you ever tried to reason with a baby? Fought with a baby to get your way? While you may eventually win, it’s much easier to listen to baby and adjust according to their comfort. It is definitely not unusual to see me adjust what I am doing for the happiness and safety of the baby.
Newborn Session | Baby Ezra
Oh, how I loved meeting baby Ezra for the first time! I have been waiting for his arrival ALMOST as long as his parents. Walking alongside this family as they did their gender reveal and maternity session with me, I was so excited when I received the call of Ezra’s arrival! I could not get my photography studio in Canton, GA ready fast enough. And let me just say, he was absolutely worth the wait!!
Maternity Session | Fabiola is Having a Baby!
One of the amazing things about being a photographer is making connections with people that I would not have likely met otherwise. This is just one of the many aspects of my j-o-b that I love. Originally from Costa Rica, this sweet mom-to-be was super laid back, feeling great, and was just overall a kind person.
Maternity Session | Sydney's Having a Baby!
I absolutely love following along with a family as they prepare for the arrival of a baby, and then as they celebrate their child as they grow. I love all of my clients, but the clients who allow me to walk along with them through this thing called life really have my heart.
Baby's First Year | Ally Turns One!
Just like we are all the same but different, so too are our preferences. I love that I can help bring a vision to life and maybe even surpass that vision at times. So, when sweet Ally’s mom contacted me, it was a true joy bringing her vision to life.
Studio Maternity Session | Halle
Being pregnant brings all kinds of thoughts and feelings to the surface. Things you may or may not struggle with already can suddenly because a problem. Health concerns. Weight gain. Swelling. Depression. And many more. With that being said, though and care in put into every single maternity session. Your visit to my Canton studio begins with me meeting you at the car. I am there to guide you to the studio and help carry anything you may have brought with you.
Baby's First Year | Remi's First Year
Over the last couple of years, I have watched this family go from trying to conceive, heartache, pregnancy, birth, newborn session, milk bath session, nursing session, Christmas session, and then baby’s first birthday smash cake session…plus parties, getaways, and more. This family definitely has a piece of my heart.
Here’s the amazing thing. This family is not the only one! I love each of my families that walks through my photography studio’s door. I love connecting with them and walking through this thing called life together. Captured Moments by Cindy is more than a business in Canton, GA.
Baby's First Year | Smash Cake Session
If you have been to a baby’s first birthday party, you may have witnessed the baby squishing and smashing a small baby-sized cake while a group of their loved ones are standing around, watching the destruction of that beautiful, tiny cake, cheering on the massacre, and just enjoying the overall show of cake droppings, icing smears, cake tossing, etc. It’s quite the spectacle. If you have not witnessed this, you are missing out! Find someone with an infant and get yourself invited to that baby’s first birthday party, STAT!
