Hi Everyone! I promise I have not disappeared, I have been VERY busy with life and my photo business. I have a wedding and a few other sessions to post and I will VERY SOON….!! Just trying to get caught up, but I gotta tell ya, I LOVE being busy, YAY!
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! 
These two made my job SO easy….how beautiful are they!? And Miss Katie, isn’t she a beautiful mama?
MANY more to come soon!
The contest is officially over! Thanks so much to everyone that have entered, I will post a winner on Monday!!!
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!
What’s better than Friday……. a Giveaway Friday! Spring has sprung and I am in the mood for something FUN!
Everyone knows I love a good deal and now here is your chance to get in on the action.
So here are the rules:
All you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Then pass on this blog link to at least two of your friends or family. You are welcome to send it to more than two, but only the first two to leave a comment will be eligible for the giveaway. Those two people that you send the link to will then return the love with a comment and acknowledge the person that sent the email in the comment. You must live within a 30 minute radius of the Lambertville/Toledo area or be willing to make the drive to be eligible for the free session since the session will occur in the area.
Everyone that leaves a comment will then be put in a hat and a name will be drawn. Posting for comments will close next Friday at noon, and a name will be drawn by my daughter and the winners will be announced on Monday, April 6! The name pulled along with the first two people they sent the email to and left a comment will get a free session. The free session can include up to five people per family and each family will receive in addition to the free session an 8×10 print. The session will occur on a weekend day and the date/time slots will be given at a later date.
Oh and what would a post be without some pictures….
I have recently had the privilege of working with Nili of Portland Beanie Company. She makes these FABULOUS hats…they are TDF cute and SOOO well made! Please head on over to her Etsy Shop and take a look around!
So Happy Friday, and let’s start spreading the love!
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. =)
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!
