Nina.Cecilia|Creative Spark {review & giveaway}

It is my pleasure to bring to you . . .

'Nina.Cecilia | creative spark' is a professional photography business developed by a set of twins who inherit the same passion: capturing those special moments that are so often overlooked in everyday life.

The adorable and delightful founders, Nina Williams and Cecilia Moyer, describe their photos as a, "focus on lifestyle photography, catching people in their own personal environment." These two pride themselves in their ability to take edgy, candid shots all while extracting a form of art from a photograph.

'Niña.Cecilia | creative spark' encompasses photos of high school seniors, maternity, family, babies and kids, company events, engagements and weddings. These two photograph in Peoria, IL; Pella, IA; Des Moines, IA; Cedar Rapids, IA; Dubuque, IA; and its surrounding areas though are more than happy to travel a reasonable distance outside these regions at an additional cost.

Have I had the pleasure of working with these two? You bet! Our family enjoyed every second of our family photo shoot with Nina.Cecilia | creative spark!

The best thing about Nina and Cecilia is that they really focus on making everybody feel comfortable and capturing real-life shots. When our family shot with them, we basically played around in the local park as they took pictures of us at ease.

It is my belief this relaxed environment is what helped our family pictures to turn out so wonderful! I have personally worked with over 10 professional photographers in my life and 'Nina.Cecilia|Creative Spark' are by far my favorite!

The shoot was so natural and effortless that even my fiance' enjoyed it! Can you imagine a big dirty, football-loving laborer enjoying a photo shoot?! Well, he did!

Our pictures sincerely resulted in a work of art.

Moreover, 'Nina.Cecilia|Creative Spark' is unique in that they allow you to purchase a CD of all your pictures as well as granting you the rights to all the proofs! That way, if you want additional pictures, you are able to take them to a location of your choice and make prints to your own discretion! This option worked out perfectly well for our indecisive family!

'Nina.Cecilia | creative spark' also showcases their creative touch with invitations of all sort, tutus, diaper cakes and bows that are all beautiful and all customizable! (Found under their 'Products for Purchase' gallery.)

These two charming twins are unbelievably creative!
