Feature Friday—Chase and Ella

chase and ella

Feature Friday is something new I have started here. It is my way of showcasing other small businesses that I either want to work with or admire the hell out of. When I met Tina at a networking event she immediately blow my mind. I have never met anyone that had so energy and a love of life, and when she told me she was a newborn photographer I new right then I had to feature her.

See I don’t, let me repeat that I don’t photograph newborns. I am so not a baby person it is not in my DNA, not even when Maddie and Cris were little did I photograph them. But photographers like Tina are SPECIAL. They are like the Baby whisperers. Babies are like putty in their hands. So if you are wanting a truly fantastic experience you need to call her.

this is her feature story!

A special thanks to Wanda for asking me to write this post… it was a pleasure meeting her at the Femfessionals Summer Social.

While getting to know Wanda she learned that I love newborn sessions! I mean really love them!! Heart skips a beat while posing them kinda love. I loved learning about what she was most passionate about too. As photographers it is great when we can bond and work together, finding ways to help each other succeed.

Wondering when to start looking for a newborn photographer? I think it’s never too early to start after you learn the exciting news!

Did you know that even though a baby is technically considered a newborn for 28 days that there is only a small window to shoot a posed newborn session. I personally prefer to do newborn sessions between the 5-8 day mark. They are only this little for a little while and those cute sleepy poses can best be achieved before 10 days and at the latest 14.

Something you will need to decide is what type of session you are looking for. Do you only want the pictures that many hospitals offer, do you want a more lifestyle session that takes place in your home, or are you looking for a posed session. I specialize in the posed session and love modeling little ones into curly womb like poses, I also love set up’s that include mom and dad. Images of you cuddling your new baby are moments that will be treasured forever.

Newborn sessions are a lot longer than normal sessions and can take up to 4 hours. I offer sessions in my home studio or I will travel to your home. These sessions require lots of patience from the photographer as well as the parents. Be sure to review your photographer’s portfolio before you choose whom to hire. You want to be sure that your vision of what you want for your session is what the photographer is offering. Please also be sure that your photographer practices safe posing.

My goal is to create timeless images for you to remember this amazing time in your lives.

I LOVE FOOD! My weakness...cheese fries. Warm ooey I LOVE FOOD! My weakness...cheese fries. Warm ooey gooey cheese fries. No I don't restrict myself of ANY FOOD. One thing My fitness journey has taught me is that if I feel deprived of the foods I love than I won't be successful at achieving my goals. All things in moderation, even cheese fries 🍟.
I have some type of green veggie with every meal, and today was steamed kale day. Fiber and folic acid are essential for me as a middle-aged women. But I did add my fries because it's been a hard week. 
What's your favorite food? How often do you allow yourself to eat it?

No one EVER said going back to school would be easy.  I'm 46yrs old, a mom of 2, business owner, wife and also work full-time for a nonprofit organization. Than in November I said SURE I'll add one more thing to my plate! But here's the thing I've NEVER regretted going back for one minute. Learning, especially in a formal setting helps me develop a structure and plan. It helps me grow and keeps me fluid. Many will say you don't need a formal education for many things in today's world but for me having it gives not only a sense of accomplishment but also adds to my credibility.

I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my neck I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder so I went to visit my massage therapist and apparently I sprained my bicep and had a lot of knots  and muscle 'gunk' causing me a HORRIFIC AMOUNT of pain. She taped my back up and today I had to tape my bicep which helps the healing process. I think I'm in LOVE with this @rocktape product. It helps with keeping my muscles aligned and takes pressure off as well. But don't ask me how it does it's magic I just know that it helps. Have you used this yet? Let me know your thoughts on it.

We NEVER use our dining room. It's been a catch-al We NEVER use our dining room. It's been a catch-all room for years. Since covid hit we've been doing some minor upgrades to the house and started thinking about how we can use this room. A few months ago we added a 4person table, at Christmas it was the room where we put the tree in, but when I needed to figure out where I was going to workout this room fit the bill. It's far enough away from the bedrooms, close enough to the kitchen and laundry room and also has a lite spot for my crafts. Bonus because it's in a central location of the house the kids are using it working out too. 
We're working on storage ideas for the weights and other equipment but I am in love with MY space. We spent money to get 3  quality workout pieces like @weider utility bench @ancheer trampoline and a 24lb weight bar from a gym store in Bryn Mawr, but everything else is from 5 Below or Amazon.

Do you have a home gym? What pieces of equipment do you have that you absolutely LOVE?
