If you missed it.....a few years ago I posted a tutorial on something you will never need to learn how to do....make candle wax milk for Christmas Minis! I knew I wanted to do Cookies & Milk for Santa but was plagued with the problem of babies, toddlers, and kids knocking over real milk. My brother to the rescue - his idea, and he deserves credit. Candle Wax. After a few years of use they got a little beat up so here we go again, making a few fresh bottles and while I'm at it let's document the process. You're welcome. Enjoy this how-to I am positive you will never use. Oh! And I've added a hot chocolate scene this year.....scroll on to see some quite simple copy and paste photoshop magic. Quite simple really. Acquire the goods. Break apart candles, melt over double boiler, pour, and let set.     And VOILA! Kids can pick 'em up, move 'em, knock 'em over and we don't have to worry about a thing!  Next! I added a cute Hot Cocoa scene to my minis this year. I wanted it to look outdoorsy and I had a cute little puffy vest for Ben, but it was "itchy" and after he cried and complained we found the softest sweater we could to get on with the promo pics. I considered making candle wax hot chocolate, because, its genius! But with my oversized mugs I thought candle wax would be too heavy, and realizing how quickly I could photoshop this, we're just going to go with that for minis. One: Take Photo, load into Photoshop  Two: Make real hot chocolate, and take a picture of it. Load into Photoshop.  Select and move, drop onto photo of child your'e working on   Transform until it looks just right.  VOILA! Like Magic. And the steam? Just another Photoshop trick. :)  Christmas Minis 2019!

It might be just one room....but it's a dream come true. Please, fill my calendar with newborns, sitter sessions, cake smash, milk bath, and holiday-themed minis because working in here makes me happier than I knew it could. But, yes, back to our purpose, I want you to feel comfortable knowing where you are bringing your baby/kids so let's take a little tour. HI BEAUTIFUL STUDIO ROOM! Bright, fun, airy, and cute. It's your baby's day so we welcome him on the letter board and you can relax on the comfy chairs while I get to work!  Set-up, backdrops, and my "moveable window" light  Let's take a glimpse at newborn baby Sutton's Session and how we use the space!      I also have two closets (not pictured) FULL of baskets, crates, props, fluff, basket fillers, wraps, etc. etc. etc. We used some white fluff and the wood panels for sibling pics.   And we can't forget my neutral backdrop roll-down "machine"!!   There is so much we can do in a one-room studio. It is some of the most fun I have ever had WORKING! We did these from Baby Girl Jaxyn's 1 year in just an hour....we moved from Christmas, to a neutral Wainscot, to a milk bath all from 11 am to noon.    So...come on over! Play with me! We will have a blast.
