The heartache. The devastation. The loss. Millions of people have been affected by the powerful earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12th. From the moment I heard of the crisis there was a tug at my heart. I knew I wanted to help… “But how?”
That’s when I came across this amazing act of community: “Photographers for Haiti” is an amazing organization of photographers from across the country that have joined together to do what we can for the people of Haiti by offering a day of photographic mini sessions with 100% of the session proceeds going towards relief organizations to help with the rehabilitation of Haiti.
If you’ve been thinking about donating to help Haiti and/or have wanted to get some amazing family photos- this is the perfect way to do both and feel good about it!
Mini Sessions will be held on Saturday, February 20th at Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills. The $50.00 fee includes a 20-minute mini session for your baby, children, or family with up to 30 images presented in an online password-protected gallery.
Your portrait session will not only give you amazing memories of your family but can help another family start rebuilding their lives and making new memories to cherish forever.
Together we can make a difference.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Cynthia via phone or email to answer any questions and to book your session today!

These two siblings were so much fun to photograph… They are so full of life and they absolutely love to be silly! We actually combined their session with their good friends, whom I have been photographing for three years now [thanks R Family for the referral!], so it really was more like a “play date” than a photo session- which is really what made it so much fun! I’ll post a few of the R Family in a later post, but for now here are few of my favorites from my time with these adorable kiddos… the first one is the prefect example of just how silly these two can be!
these next two are the rare moments caught in between all the silliness and I completely love them!
I always love delivering all the fabulous goodies my clients order when they are ready. The expression on their faces and joy in their hearts when they see their images just makes my heart sing! It’s what makes my job so amazing and so fulfilling …and today was no exception!
When I delivered “T’s” order this morning she nearly cried! She was so excited to see me when I arrived and was completely smitten with everything! And, with a model this adorable it’s easy to see why…
Today has been a perfect start to 2010! Yes, it is already the 5th.. but it’s only day two back at the office so it still counts [at least I think so anyways!]. I know this is only the start to a perfectly amazing year ahead!

As I sit thinking of how to write out everything I really want to say, my mind just keeps jumping back to how quickly this year has gone by! It really does feel like just yesterday that I was posting a very similar Holiday Greeting for 2008. So much has happened this year that has allowed me to grow in incredible ways both personally and professionally! Three weddings [my own included!], a funeral [no really- it's not just a movie- it's my reality], traveling galore, friends with babies on the way [so exciting!], so many wonderful new friends, colleagues, and clients…. the list is endless! I am so thankful for everyone and everything in my life. It is because of you that I am able to do what I love… thank you for continuing to allow me to grow each and every day!
With that being said, we here at Cynthia Spivack Photography would like to say that we are….
2010 looks to be just as promising and eventful as 2009. Keep an eye out for awesome promotions, some great new products, and of course amazing photos [which I still have tons from this year to post!]
** Office will be closed December 23rd through January 4th. Every attempt to return emails and calls will be made, but if you do not hear back right away- please be patient…grab a cup of hot chocolate…snuggle up to someone you love…and we’ll get back to as soon as possible! Happy Holidays!**

It’s two weeks until Christmas. One week until Hannukah. [how lucky am I... I get to celebrate both!] This year has been packed with events, work, celebrations… it feels as though it has literally flown by! The same can be said for this Holiday Season! I have been quite the busy bee with Holiday sessions extending well past Thanksgiving! I am beyond grateful for all of my new and recurring clients and have tons of photos that I can’t wait to share! I thought I would start out with a beautiful beach session…
I had so much fun photographing this little guy and his beautiful mom- who is just the sweetest and happiest person I have ever met! We met at a gorgeous, dog-friendly, beach down in Rancho Palos Verdes and patiently waited for what California is known for- it’s beautiful sunset light! Before we met, Mom told me how much she loved that warm, pinky light that we get just as the sun sets so I was determined to capture it. Here are some of my favorites…

These three kiddos crack me up every time I see them! I had the pleasure of photographing them again this year and they are so laid back, a complete blast to photograph, and an absolute riot! I have to admit- I was a little nervous that the age difference between everyone [one teenager, an 11 year old, and 5 year old!] might make the interaction dynamic a bit challenging to work with… boy was I wrong! These three are so connected to each other and absolutely love to hang out together- just check out the last image!

A few Saturdays ago I had the opportunity to do a family session at a place that is very special to me- Malibu Creek State Park. My husband and I had our very own photo session there when we got engaged, and the park holds so many wonderful memories and beautiful spots that I was beyond thrilled to shoot there myself! Once you enter the park you feel like you have left Los Angeles completely! The smell of fresh sage fills the air [it grows wild along the trail!] and you are surrounded by mountains and trees… it’s heaven!
And so was this family! They are such a close family and they certainly love to laugh! I actually photographed little Miss M [the redhead] last year when she took part in the Little Redheads Across America cover shoot. She is an absolute doll and so is her big sister… Mom and Dad are pretty great too!

Hello to all!
I am back from the most fabulous wedding and honeymoon anyone could have ever asked for! Getting married is a whirlwind of excitement, nerves, and complete joy. Our wedding went by so fast, it was like a dream…a dream come true!
Our 10+ day trip to St. Lucia was also an amazing experience. It’s an incredibly beautiful country and provided for some much needed R&R! 
Now that we are back, Cynthia Spivack Photography is up and running again and we are looking forward to an incredible 2009 Holiday Season! Stay tuned for some great promotions and free giveaways and of course some much needed posting!
Here’s a quick little peak at the paradise we enjoyed while away:

Giving back to our community and helping those less fortunate has always been something I have been passionate about and longed to do. I believe that helping our community not only keeps us grounded but has huge impact on everyone involved. And, now I am super excited to be able to combine my passion for photography with my desires to give back to people in need! I recently contacted Angela, over at Huntley Preschool in West Hollywood, about organizing a food drive at her school and she immediately jumped on-board with my idea!
In the spirit of the Holiday Season, we thought it would be great to not only raise food for families and children in need, but thank those families by donating a few family photography sessions, all while teaching her kiddos the importance of working together and supporting their community! All of the food raised will be given to Feeding America and distributed amongst the one million + people struggling with hunger throughout Los Angeles. Our food drive kicks off October 26th -just in time for the Holidays!- and will run through mid-November. I can’t wait to share with you photos of the kids helping support our community!
For more information on Feeding America and how you can organize your own food drive, please check out their website by clicking the image below:
Inspired by our project? Interested in organizing a similar fundraiser in your community/local school/organization/etc? It’s easy! Simply visit www.feedingamerica.org to locate your local Food Bank and access info on how to get started! And feel free to contact me about donating photography sessions as an incentive to get people to donate!
