Baby Lucian | Newborn Photographer Ann Arbor

January 22, 2013 By Natalie Mae Photography Leave a Comment

Introducing baby Lucian. He’s 10 days new and perfect in every way, and such a model! I’m so glad mom choose me to be her Ann Arbor newborn photographer because there he was great, barely any fussing out of him the whole time, had to take a few potty breaks, but he was a trooper. Baby Lucian tolerated any hat or wrap mom and I put him in, pretty much cooperating through it all. I have so many good images from the session, it was incredibly difficult to narrow them down. Brace yourself for some newborn cuteness below.

Since this is was my first newborn session of the new year, I looked back on my very first newborn session ever and it’s truly amazing to see how far I’ve come since then. It’s almost embarrassing, but that’s part of the learning process. Making mistakes, growing, and moving forward. That’s one of the reasons being a photographer is the perfect job for me; it’s constantly changing and there is always new techniques to be learned. Plus, I love a challenge!

This Ann Arbor newborn photographer never runs out of ideas for creative newborn photos.

2012 has been a really eventful year for me! I graduated with my second degree, this time in Graphic Design; photographed some really amazing clients; and did a 360 with the direction of my business. There’s been ups and downs, but what’s life without some bumps?! I am truly thankful for each and everyone of my clients. Every time I get to photograph someone I learn something new and always have a great time. My business wouldn’t be anything without my clients, so I am forever indebted to you for allowing me to pursue my dreams.

The new year brings more changes for us first starting with the name change. We were formally known as Natty J Photography, and are starting out 2013 with a fresh look as Natalie Mae Photography. Still, same beautiful portraits and individual customer attention, just with a neater and cleaner looking package. I can’t wait to photograph and get to know more of you in the new year! Until then, here’s my incredible collection of 2012 clients…and once again…THANKS!!

What to Wear Wednesday: Primarily Girly | Jackson, MI Children Photogrpher

September 19, 2012 By Natalie Mae Photography 9 Comments

Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean that you can’t dress your little ones in some really colorful and playful outfits. All these you can toss a sweater over or add some leggings so they don’t get chilly. I just love this play on the primary print colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, & black). So what are you waiting for? Call to book a portrait session for the little girly girl in your life.

Now I don’t expect anyone to rush out and buy these items, but they’re great for giving you ideas of how to put together a portrait wardrobe.

Pepsi Mini-Sessions | Jackson, MI Photographer

August 10, 2012 By Natalie Mae Photography 3 Comments

First of all, many of you might be wondering, “What is a mini-session?” These are themed portrait sessions that are shorter than our typical session, each lasting roughly 30 minutes. This time the theme will be Pepsi. Sorry to all the Coke lovers, but I found the Pepsi props before the Coke ones. We’ll have an adorable set-up outside at Ella Sharp Park near the Rotunda. They will take place on September 8th, but if the weather doesn’t cooperate (*fingers crossed that it does*), then September 15th is the rain date.

The price of the session is $50, this must be paid in advance to reserve your time slot. You will also receive 30% off the purchase of our prints and products for the promotion. At the time of your mini-session we will schedule a day and time for you to view and order your images; the photos take approximately 10-14 days to process.

We will only be offering 10 Pepsi mini-sessions slots, so book yours early to guarantee your spot!

New, New & News | Jackson, MI Newborn Photographer

February 4, 2012 By Natalie Mae Photography 7 Comments

There are some things that you just can’t resist in life…one of mine just happens to be newborn props. They’re just so tiny and cute…and things miniaturized just for them! So of course I had to get some new items for the new year and there’s some stuff that I bought towards the end of last year and didn’t get to use that often, if at all. That’s a whole lot of new 🙂 I won’t post pictures of the items until I get to use them, but I’ll drop some hints: gentlemen, girly girls and earthy. You’ll just have to wait to see what I mean!!

But in the meantime, I’ve got some pretty sweet news to share…I sold my first piece on Etsy!! I’m sure you remember reading awhile ago that I started an Etsy Store, Something Tangled Studios. In it, I’ve listed some small crochet pieces and a few of my landscape photographs. Well, yesterday someone bought The Loyal and it went all the way to Washington (I’m in Michigan). How cool is that?! Okay, maybe not as cool to you, but I think it’s fabulous lol.
