March Madness NO SESSION FEES {Michigan newborn, Child Photographer}


March Madness!

I can't believe it is March already! The time seems to go by so fast. I think is is partly due to the fact that I have a full time business and 3 kids involved in activities. My boys have been playing Upward Basketball since January.
Wow I just can't say enough about this program. This is the 2nd year we have had our oldest play and it is just run so well. Kyle's team is undefeated but what I love the most is they work as a team. They don't have a one man show out there, and he is learning so many plays. Kade's team has only lost one game, and he is also learning the fundamentals of the game.
So, I am guessing by now you are thinking what does this have to do with Natalie B Photography? Well not too much but I just like to give you a little peek into my own life.
This month is March Madness, for all your basketball fans. I used to be a huge Piston's fan when I was in high school and right after. My dad took me to several of the playoff games. I kind of lost interest when I was in college though. Now that my own kids are getting into it, it seems more fun!

So in honor of March Madness I am going to be offer some great specials!

MARCH NO SESSION FEES

Do you want to get to know Natalie B Photography better? Want to have a session and try us out? Here's your one chance all year long to get to do that without session fees!

Whether it is newborn, baby, child, model or senior session.... you can book a mini session to be held within the month of March and there will be no session fee!

Really you ask? Really! Seriously we mean it!~ (Now don't think we will shoot a family reunion, or large group cause that is just not going to happen, sorry!)

What does a mini session mean? Normally sessions last about 2-3 hours with unlimited clothing changes. With a mini session the time is limited to 1 hour and you can have 2 clothing changes. It is that simple.

It is still cold out you say? Well we still can shoot on-location if the weather is cooperative and we are above freezing. Snow sessions are fun!!

For newborns and children we can shoot natural light in your home or studio in my home. Think yearly pictures, Easter pictures, gifts etc.

How many proofs will I have to choose from? There will be 15-20 images min for you to choose from in your online gallery. All images will be presented fully retouched as with a full session.

There is a 'catch' if you want to call it that..... your minimum purchase in prints and products must total $350 ( pretax and shipping) You get all the money you spend in prints! How awesome is that!?!

We collect $175.00 to reserve the session and the other half will be due when you place your order. So get over to the website and use that contact form to book that session with Natalie B Photography today! Spaces are limited and won't last long!!
** Full senior sessions will be required to purchase a minimum of $600.00

Newborn Baby "D" 6 day old {Michigan Newborn Photographer}

Today I had such a fun time photographing newborn baby "D". What a wonderful family this baby has been born into. He has such a great foundation for his life.

I was so excited to be able to try some poses with dad that I have not been able to do before. You see most men are not thrilled at the idea of taking off their shirts for me lol. Thank you Mike for being so willing! I love this shot of your son on your arm.











When will it be Spring?

Is anyone as tired as I am of this cold weather? Gosh it seems like every other week someone in our family sick. Karli has been the one most recently. Yesterday I took her to the Dr. to find out she has double ear infections. NICE.





Hopefully Spring will be here soon!!!



I wanted to share a picture of Karli, since she is the only one that let's me photograph her anymore!!

One more of Miss "S" & Casting Call for March;Michigan Newborn Photographer

I just had to share this lovely picture of Miss "S" from last week. People always ask why it is so important to try to get sleepy shots, of course it is be cause they are so cute but also because newborns that are awake generally have flailing arms, crossed eyes and want to eat!

Miss "S" was wide awake when we started so I first wrapped her up tight and took some pictures of her awake, luckily her eyes were not crossed and she was almost look at us!




On a side note.... I still have some openings for the newborn casting call in March!

If you are expecting call or email me ASAP! You will receive a complimentary session ( 125.00 value), an 11x14 print ( 100.00 value) !

Minimum order of 350.00 is required. Additional discounts are being offered as well. Contact me to find out!

They are here!! The canvases!; Linden Michigan Photographer

Here is a picture of my much anticipated 24x36 Canvases!! I am still waiting on the one of Kade, which should be here this week and I will post a picture again. Kyle is standing next to his ( looking less then thrilled, or maybe trying to be a cool 10 1/2 yr old)

I am certainly in love with these, not only because they are my children and my own work but it is just amazing looking at how large they are. I am so glad I decided not to go smaller.

I realize not everyone has wall space like this, but man if you do, take advantage and go large. I will have to post a comparison on sizes, I have some canvases of Karli that are 11x14 and 16x20, they look teeny compared to these!!

Canvases are also in investment, they are not cheap but are exquisite works of art. Timeless comes to mind, they will last forever.





Oh and just for fun, I posted a picture of these Yummy blueberry muffins I made today. I am not a product photographer, but the picture looks pretty nice! The muffins were the best recipe I have ever tried. I got the recipe off Allrecipes so if you want it you can find it here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/To-Die-For-Blueberry-Muffins/Detail.aspx

Newborns Newborns! Little Miss "A"; Michigan Newborn Photographer

Can I just say yeah me this is like the 3rd post this week! LOL! I am so loving photographing newborns!! This is the 2nd baby girl this week and what a peanut! Miss "A" was so tiny and perfect. I am not quite sure if I am getting my newborn fix or making it worse LOL.

I bought all these little hats right after Christmas knowing I would be doing more newborns this year, finally I got to use them. I also totally love the little pod that I put her in, she is all curly and warm.

She has two gorgeous older brothers who finally warmed up to me towards the end of my 3 hours at their house. They were so cute I could have stayed all day!!
