Ask And You Shall Receive 

A month ago I did a poll in the private chubby cheek Facebook group and asked what type of session the friends in that group wanted on the calendar for feb!  The thing is I have several speaking engagements coming up this spring…okay let me be more dramatic I am speaking in march in kentucky, in april in South Carolina and in May in ITALY! So my shooting availability just got significantly cut down quite a bit with spring break, easter and other spring holidays…so back to the point…I asked in the group what the mamas really wanted and a styled girl mini session was number one on the list!

In True Chubby Cheek Style

In true chubby cheek photography style I couldn’t just grab an old mini because I take pride in the fact that I continue to offer NEW and UNIQUE ideas to my clients…I NEED THAT CREATIVE OUTLET for sure but its also because as you will see from these sneak peeks most of my clients come to me and stick around so they crave new fun mini session ideas too!

The Storage Unit Search

I decided to take a walk through the storage unit because lest face it y’all it’s been a while since I have busted out some of the big props (3 years since the last bubblegum mini sessions and even longer since I’ve done carousel horse minis)…I was feeling some inspiration from an old all about me session that truly made my heart happy because it centered around BOOKS!

But Houston was all, “NOT SO FAST”
The thing is I have done this as my job for almost TWELVE YEARS YALL and I know Houston weather in February…it’s either cold or rainy, no if’s and’s or but’s about it.  So I needed to create a set inside.  Plus I don’t redo all about me sessions without permission from the original client, so I decided to create an all new set revolving around the magic of reading and books!

Thus the evolution of of the storybook mini chapter 1 begins….
