This sweet baby girl came to see me this week and I couldn’t resist posting just one for Mom and Dad.  More to come soon!

Coming up next!

Meet Miss Layla.  Absolutely perfect little girl!  You may recognize her mama, from a few weeks ago in the orchard maternity pictures.  Katie’s husband, Jesse, is my cousin, and I must say, I have quite a good looking family, don’t you think?

Introducing….Baby Laya, my newest little cousin.

Very princess like

She loved being wrapped up all snuggly!

Look at that sweet face!!

Can you see where she gets her lips?

What an honor it is, to be a featured photographer on the Photographer Cafe…a new blog geared totally for photographer’s!  I was blown away when Mary emailed me asking for information so that she could feature me on her blog, and completely humbled.

So PLEASE, head on over there and check it out! Photographer Cafe.

And lastly…what is a post, without a picture?

Princess A came to see me at 13 days old.  She had already grown a whole head of hair.  How is that possible?  Really?  How does a little tiny newborn girl come out of the womb with hair like Rod Stewart’s?

She was soooo good!  She slept the ENTIRE time!

She didn’t even mind it when I popped her in the basket.

I just can’t get over her hair….

Is that not the sweetest face??? 

Kristy and Tom, you’ve been so very patient!  Your gallery will be up shortly!  Enjoy your sneak peek of sweet girl, and thank you for allowing me to capture your newest additon!

I had the pleasure and privalege of photographing Katie and Jesse for maternity photos of their very first baby.

These two made my job SO incredibly easy, aren’t they just beautiful????  Katie is a natural in front of the camera, and I absolutely LOVED photographing her!  I am in love with all of the pictures and had a hard time choosing which ones to share with you.

Stay tuned, hopefully their baby girl will make her much anticipated arrival VERY SOON and I will get to photograph her as well!

Miss Scarlet came in for her 7 month portraits today.  I have met her before, I did her newborn pictures but I don’t think she remembered me.  It was so nice to see her again, I love having repeat clients and watching them grow.

Mama brought her in wearing red, to compliment her pretty name.

She was so serious….

This picture taking is some serious business!

She loved being nakie, although she’s not too sure about this bowl she’s in…

I love me some bare baby bootie

Red really compliments her pretty skin, don’t you think?

I have this new prop that I wanted to try out right at the end but Horsie and Scarlet just don’t get along.

Inga, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, the rest will be ready very soon.  Thanks for coming in, she is such a perfect little girl!

Can you believe this weather we are having?  Awesome!!!!  I am so hoping it holds out, these long Michigan winters just seem to dragggggg on and the warmer weather seems to put a bit of pep in everyone’s step!

So, onto the model search. =)

Chixie and Honey is looking for some Newborn Babies.

That’s right, brand new, fresh-into-this-world wee ones.  I need at least one baby GIRL and one baby BOY. They must be less than 2 weeks old, preferably 2-7 days old.  This helps ensure that they stay sleepy and squisy during the session.

What do YOU get out of this?  A FREE session, valued at $100!!!!   You will also get DISCOUNTED print prices! ( In exchange for the free session, you must sign a session contract. )

I have some NEW and DARLING little props perfect for a little prince or princess and I can’t wait to try them out!

I do need to schedule the sessions ASAP! Please contact Tara, at chixieandhoney@hotmail.com to schedule your little one’s session.  Please note that a typical newborn session does take approximately 2-4 hours.

And what’s a post, without some pictures

I will also be putting out a search SOON for older kiddos as well, so be on the lookout!

I am so excited to this new offer from Chixie and Honey!  If you ever have a problem with ordering pictures and wondering how to arrange them on your walls, I have a solution…..!!  From now on, everytime you have a session with me, included in your gallery will be a few examples of attractive wall designs and arrangements, custom made by moi.

Isn’t that AWESOME!?    It is so much fun making these up…I am a VERY visual person, and I think I’m not alone in the crowd…it always helps to have something in front of you to see examples!  Contact me for more details to book a session and get your “very own” gallery

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin’s brand new baby boy, Brandon.  He was so tiny and had a head of silky, long, dark hair.  He was wide awake for a very long time, but his mama nursed him and once I put him in this wrap that I made, he snuggled right up and never gave us anymore trouble!
