My Favorite Image of 2008

With the year drawing to a close, I thought it would be fun to look back and try to pick a favorite photo- well, I had a really hard time choosing only 1. I settled for 9 among my favorites but I really have to say that how much I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the children that I photographed this year. From the youngest one to the oldest, I did not have a single one who was hard to work with, I feel so privileged to have had the chance to photograph them all- and such gorgeous models too! They surely made my job so easy (a big thank you to the parents as well).

So here they are:

I would love to know which one is your favorite! Please leave a comment to this post (click on the word 'comments' at the end of this post) and tell me which one you like- the photo with the most comments will be awarded an 11x14 mounted and textured print. I will announce the winning photo on December 30th.
Please remember, only 1 comment per person per day!

Please note new rule- no anonymous comments! I won't be counting any anonymous comments towards the final voting. Thanks.




And because I am a mom first, I have to post my favorite photos of my very favorite models:

And last, but not least, I want to thank all of you who sent nominations for my 'Season of Giving' promotion- someone really special will receive a gift certificate for a session in the New Year. Thank You for participating and making someone's Christmas a little brighter this year!

This 'n' That

Today I am sharing a few of the products that I offer:

Photobucket

Photobucket
You may remember this collage storyboard from last month- the print was textured and sprayed for protection and then mounted on standout. Standout is a thick lightweight board with a black plastic edge; it has hanging holes on the backside. It is 3/4" in depth. It comes ready for display, all you need to do is hang it on your wall. I love the modern clean look.



Photobucket
I now offer session gallery albums in 2 sizes- the standard 5x7 and the cute 5x5.



Photobucket
This is a mini accordion album, which is complimentary with a qualifying order. It displays up to 10 photos and it is the perfect size to tuck in your purse.



Photobucket
High-resolution images are available for purchase on CD which comes in an album-style leather holder, in a presentation box.



Please contact me if you wish to see any of these in person.

Season of Giving

Photobucket

I am starting the month of December with something very special-
this is an invitation for you to nominate someone you know to receive a mini photo session with "Reflections by Cindy". This is can be a session for just children (my specialty), but I'm also extending it to maternity, couples, families or anyone else in between.

To start, just send me an e-mail with your nomination and why they deserve it- all nominations have to be received by December 13th. The reasons for nomination will be up to you- maybe they finally had/adopted the baby they've been waiting for so long, or they had a rough year, or they're just your best friends/neighbors and you want to surprise them! The process is anonymous- you get the fun part of presenting your nominee a gift certificate for a mini photo session in January/February, including a mounted 11x14 print and session gallery album.

Send in all nominations by December 13th to cindy@reflectionsbycindy.com

Merry Christmas!


[I'm taking this month off from sessions to spend some time with my family (except for newborns under 7 days old- call me as soon as possible if you are interested in having me photograph your newborn baby).]

Antique

I'm still editing the Modern Victoria dress session and I found this one photo that had an older feeling- so I played with it and went from this:

Photobucket

to this:

Doesn't it look like a photo from the 1940-50's?

Cake Smash!!!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket


I had planned to do little "I"'s cake smash right after his birthday last month but he was not feeling too well (courtesy of 4 new teeth).

This morning, the timing was just right- of course, he's a toddler on the run and I only had 10 minutes to complete this mini session before he decided he was done.

I love how the storyboard turned out- it's 20x16 size and I made it to match 'J's 3rd birthday collage so I can hang them side by side.

Large Print

Photobucket

Most people are of the mind set that an 8x10 print is large enough to hang on a wall- as you can see, it really is not. I actually suggest 8x10 prints to be used for desktop displays. Even a 14x11 looks quite modest in comparison to the 30x20 collage.

I was really excited when this family chose to order a large print for their family room- it looks absolutely fabulous!

And here it is- the 'surprise' from last week!

The Modern Victoria is bridal store here in town- they actually offer a little bit of everything for special occasions, from baby christening outfits to wedding day attire. The selection of formal dresses for girls is to die for! And they also have boys suits and tuxedos in all sizes.

None of these children are professional models but they quite look the part, don't you agree?
And we had so much fun!

Little Sisters

I met little 'C' and her big sister 'K' yesterday, along with their parents, for a Fall session. I'm sure you will agree with me that they are beautiful little girls- I love their dark chocolate eyes, so gorgeous.

'L' and 'T'- thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful family!




And a brief, unrelated announcement- my desktop was infected with a nasty virus and it compromised internet safety. This means I have to send it in for a deep clean and will be restricted for awhile. Hopefully, it will only be for a few days (so wish me all the luck!).
