Cynthia Bullard - Your Photographer
Hi! I’m Cynthia Bullard, the owner and photographer at Cynthia Bullard Photography. I’m a Wife, Mom, New Grandma, Dog Mom, and Sports Mom!
Based in Ventura County, California, I’ve had the pleasure of helping families capture generational images for more than 30 years (I know, I don’t look that old right?!) I started in photography shortly after high school when I signed up for a black-and-white film class at Ventura College. As soon as I picked up my manual Pentax camera, loaded the film, and started taking images, I was hooked!
My love for photography began long before I ever picked up a camera. As a little girl, I would sit on the floor at my grandmother’s house, completely absorbed in albums filled with old photographs. Years later, my world changed forever when my mother was killed in a car accident at just 38 years old. I was only 14. In the quiet that followed, I realized how few photographs we had of my mother as an adult. That loss is what fuels my mission to ensure your family’s story is preserved in beautifully printed images—meant to be cherished, displayed, and lived with, not forgotten on a phone. Because one day, without warning, photographs stop being “just pictures”.
You will never truly know how important those photographs are until they are all you have left.
Let’s create photographs that will hang on your walls for generations to come.
Certified Newborn Photography Safety in Ventura County
When searching for a trusted Ventura County newborn photographer, your baby’s safety should always come first—and it is the foundation of every session. I am professionally trained and certified in newborn photography safety, with extensive experience in safe posing, gentle handling, and calm, relaxed sessions. A majority of newborn photography sessions take place in my Ventura Studio where the environment is carefully controlled for comfort, warmth, and security. I have a trained assistant working alongside me so parents can take a quiet moment to breathe and relax—something that becomes incredibly rare in the months after welcoming a new baby. I want to ensure every parent feels confident knowing their baby is in experienced, caring hands from the moment they arrive.
Award-Winning Photography in Ventura County
In addition to safety, my work is recognized for its quality and artistry. As an award-winning Ventura County photographer, my images have earned multiple blue ribbons at the Ventura County Fair over the last few years, including the prestigious Best of Show Award and a Superintendent’s Award. I have also earned an Associate accreditation with The Portrait Masters program. These honors reflect a commitment to both technical excellence and timeless design. My goal is to create beautiful portraits that are meant to be printed, displayed, and cherished for generations.
