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 :D

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!

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!!!! :D   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!

Since I have gotten older I have come to appreciate the change of seasons.  It is a reminder to me at how fast time is passing us by, holidays and birthdays just whirring past me on fast forward.  This winter though….has seemed to DRAG by!  I am tired of the cold, and so ready for spring.  Spring awakens everyone and it always makes me giggle to see us northerners walking around in shorts and flip flops when it’s 50 degrees out.  *giggle*  I am waiting [im]patiently for spring to arrive, so that I can walk outside again without freezing the tip of my nose right off, so I can take my kids outside and let them run like wild dogs.  Summers are still spent swimming in the lake as much as possible at home, and this summer I hope to get to our cottage up north much more often!  We have so much work to do on it, and I am excited at the prospect of it looking like a cottage instead of an abandoned trashbin. :D  

Even though I am ready for spring and summer, I have always loved the snow.  If it’s going to be cold, let there be snow!!
