Newborn Session  |  Baby Ezra

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 | Erica is Having a Baby!

When you are expecting, there are so many emotions swirling through the air, as well as changes to your body almost daily, it seems. There’s excitement about the miracle that is happening within your body. There is the need to pee constantly. (I know I just heard some amens, LOL!!) There are the outward signs of pregnancy like baby bump, swelling of ankles and other areas, and the curve in the back as baby grows. The crazy cravings. Nausea. And more! It’s no wonder that expectant mamas can feel sickly, large, overwhelmed, and just overall uncomfortable.

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.

Surprise Proposal Session  |  Brandon + Courtney

Surprise Proposal Session | Brandon + Courtney

While I mostly focus on maternity, newborn, and baby photography, I love when I get the request for help capturing a surprise proposal! So, when Brandon contacted me about capturing his proposal to Courtney, I just had to say yes. I had the perfect spot and couldn’t wait to see everything go down!

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!

Baby's First Year | Baby Milestone Sessions

A baby’s first year is arguably the most important year of their life. This is their foundational year. This is when they begin learning the behaviors and the skills they will need to survive in this world.

With that being said, it is no surprise there are many books written about this time in a baby’s life. These stages, or milestones, have many chapters written about them. Chapters written about

Favorite Vendor Highlight | Charcuterie Boards

Have you ever tried putting together a charcuterie board? I have. I am a creative. I love creating. I love taking pieces of puzzles and throwing them together, sometimes in unexpected ways, and marveling in the art that was created. Charcuterie boards are no different. Take a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a whole lotta this, none of that…putting all the things together into one beautiful assembly and calling it gorgeous. Yep…I’m on board (pun intended!)

Studio Headshot Session | Headache or Worth It?

If you are in the corporate world, have a job, or you are an entrepreneur, you need a headshot that is updated at least once a year. Wait, did you just say once a year? Yes. Yes, I did. Think back over the last year. How much has changed? How have you changed? More grey hair? More wrinkles? Different style? What about different life experiences? These all add up to a slightly different you.

Have you ever checked a website for a company, looked at the staff pics, and felt like you have a connection with that company? It’s not just the words on the screen, it’s the visual images of the PEOPLE behind the company that really helps nurture that connection you feel.

Family Outdoors Session | The Preston Family

Being a family photographer means being available during those special holidays to capture the moments that are precious to our clients, even during those holidays that are typically busy already (Christmas…I’m talking about Christmas LOL!). While I can bring families into my studio in Canton, GA, my favorite thing to do is take them walking through a field with lots of interesting details or through a downtown area like Downtown Woodstock…and that’s exactly what happened with the Preston family!

Newborn Studio Session | Baby Arabella

Being a newborn photographer is such a rewarding challenge. My studio in Canton, GA allows me to do what I do with confidence. With that said, each newborn studio session is unique. I can employ the same techniques, follow the same steps, and have everything set up the same; however, each baby is a unique individual and has different likes and dislikes, different comfort levels with temperature and positioning, and reacts differently to noises and their surroundings.
