Celebrate Your Legacy With the Finest Family Portraits in the Upper Ohio Valley

For over 40 years, master portrait artist Cindy Baxter has been creating heirloom family portraiture that transforms fleeting moments in timeless works of art.

Because memories fade…
But portraits last forever.

“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.”

– Michael J. Fox.

In the blink of an eye, the kids are grown, the house is quieter, and the moments that once filled your heart begin to feel like distant memories.

But what if you could hold onto those moments forever?

For more than four decades, I’ve been capturing the love, connection, and legacy of families just like yours, creating heirloom portraiture that turns fleeting moments into timeless treasures.

More Than a Photograph – It’s Your Family’s Legacy

This Isn’t Just a Photo Session

It’s a thoughtfully crafted experience designed to create the kind of portrait your family will cherish for generations.

From the very first conversation to the moment your finished artwork is hanging proudly on your wall, every step is guided with care, intention and artistry.

Photographing Large Families With Ease

Whether you’re gathering three generations together or celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime reunion, I specialize in photographing large family groups with precision and grace.
We’ll create stunning, painterly portraits that feel as meaningful as the moment itself.
No chaos.
No confusion.
Just beautifully orchestrated memories.

Testimonials

Here’s what just a few of our clients have to say about Studio C!

Cindy has become such a blessing to our family. When I envisioned timeless portraits, I immediately thought of Studio C. Cindy helped us create an edgy, yet classic image that we completely fell in love with. From asking about the space in which we were displaying our portraits to helping us style each family member’s outfit, she guided us through the total vision. Literally all we had to do was show up and she created absolute magic. We are forever grateful for Cindy, her talent, and the bond we’ve created with her beautiful soul.

Laura M

When I was a young Mom, my dream was to have Cindy Baxter of Studio C capture my children in her amazingly beautiful portraits that looked more like paintings than photographs! My dream came true almost 16 years ago, when she first photographed my children! Almost every year since then, Cindy has captured family portraits, newborn sessions, Christmas and Easter portraits, and recently, my oldest daughter’s Senior photos! This was a full circle moment as she photographed our daughter in the same setting for her Senior portrait as she did for her first portrait with Cindy when she was 3. This was truly a special testimony of how much Cindy has been a special part of our lives and how many wonderful memories and precious milestones she has been a part of for our family. Cindy is very important and special to us—she is not just a photographer, but a part of our family! Our children have grown up with her..and we are eternally grateful for all of the timeless works of art she has created for us…they say that a photograph is a return ticket to a time gone by…and we will forever have those priceless return tickets all because of the amazing Cindy Baxter and her masterful talent and tender heart! We love and appreciate you, Cindy! Thank you for being an integral and special part of our lives!

How It Works

Creating beautiful portraiture should feel joyful, never stressful. Here’s how we’ll work together to craft an unforgettable experience—and artwork you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

1. Reserve Your Portrait Session

To ensure every family receives the time and attention they deserve, portrait sessions are scheduled by reservation.

A $250 reservation deposit secures your date and is fully credited toward your portrait order.

Once your session is reserved, we’ll begin planning your portrait experience.

2. Personalized Consultation

Once your session is reserved, we’ll schedule a complimentary planning consultation either here at the studio or over the phone, where we’ll talk about:
• Location – in-studio or on location
• Wardrobe styling – what photographs best and how to coordinate
• Your home – so we can design wall art that fits your space beautifully

This isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about creating artwork with intention.

3. Your Portrait Session

Relax, have fun, and enjoy being together! I’ll guide every step of the way—from posing to lighting—so everyone looks and feels their best. And yes, I specialize in large family groups and multigenerational portraits, too.

4. The Design & Ordering Appointment

About a week after your session, you’ll return to the studio for your private viewing and design appointment. Together we’ll select your favorite portraits and design artwork perfectly suited for your home.

Pricing – most families invest between $1,500 and $5,000 in their finished portrait artwork.

Wall portraits begin at $699.

5. Installation & Final Touches

Every wall portrait is hand-finished and professionally mounted and framed ready for display. I offer installation services to ensure your artwork looks perfect the moment it’s hung.

Your family deserves more than just snapshots on a thumb drive—they deserve a masterpiece for your home.

What Makes Studio C Different?

In a world of quick and impersonal mini sessions and endless digital files, Studio C offers something timeless.
This isn’t fast or mass-produced.
This is intentional. Personal. Luxurious.

Here’s what sets your experience apart:

A Full Service Experience

From the first phone call to the final installation, every detail is thoughtfully handled for you. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just exceptional care and guidance at every step.

Artwork Designed to Be Passed Down

Your family portraits aren’t meant to sit on a hard drive or be forgotten in a folder. They’re meant to live on your walls, in your heart, and eventually—in the hands of your children and grandchildren. Each piece is a handcrafted heirloom, made to stand the test of time.

A Portrait You Can Feel

You won’t just see the difference—you’ll feel it. This is about preserving connection, honoring your people, and creating a legacy that lives far beyond today.

Master-Level Expertise

With over 40 years behind the lens, I bring a level of skill and artistry that only comes with time, patience, and a deep love for what I do. Lighting, posing, and expression are all handled with precision—so you never have to worry about how you look.
