Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing the very beautiful and equally as talented Mae aka Natural Chica!

If you are a natural hair lover, I’m sure you already know who this is :) With over 81,000 subscribers to her youtube channel, Mae is one of THE go-to resources for all things natural hair- everything from product reviews, style tutorials, healthy hair tips- Mae has it all! So it’s safe to say that I was beyond thrilled when I noticed she became a fan of my DFinney Photography facebook page a few months ago! I reached out to thank her and extended the offer for a photo session- fast forward a few months and she graciously took me up on my offer :)

We decided to go with a laid-back vintage inspired session and I am suuper excited to post these images! The makeup artist Denyelle and I had a blast working with Mae! She has such a sweet personality and I think her photos reflect that beautifully :)

Here’s where you can find Mae online:

Did you transition or do the Big Chop?

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:14:16 -0500

Hi! I transitioned for 4 months and then did my Big Chop!

Video of my Big Chop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwIHTBtBrro

Hi! I absolutely love your hair. How did you get the courage to rock short hair after your big chop? I just big chopped after seven months of transitioning and I can't seem to get the courage to wear my hair short so I've been wearing a hat for about two weeks now. I've never had short hair before :(

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:53:50 -0500

I completely understand! I was nervous too, and I actually had a friend come with me when I did my big chop. It took a while to get used to, but I realized the only way I was going to be comfortable with it was to actually wear it out! It’s a process, but you will get there! : )

hello my natural hair hero! lol quick question: how often do you comb or brush your hair? i'm trying to grow my hair past this "shoulder length" but it only feels soft and fluffy if i comb it out before moisturizing. any advice would be helpful:)))

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:52:34 -0500

aww hello there! : ) I detangle my hair whenever I wash it, which is usually once a week. I detangle during my conditioning step.

Hello i'm 15 and decided to go natural over the summer. and so far its been fun... Do you have any tips for me ? :)

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:50:57 -0500

Congrats!! My best advice is thoroughly enjoy each stage of your natural hair journey and don’t be afraid to experiment with new products and styles!

Hi! I’ve been fully natural since July 2009, so that puts me a little over 2 years now. The time flies!
