I really do think I have one of the best jobs in the world. I would love to be in Cirque du Soleil, train dolphins, or be a midwife, but photographing children is definitely up there on the list, don’t you think? Basically, I get to chat with other moms, go hike in the mountains, and skip, fly, pretend I am a fairy, dance, laugh, giggle, sing, and have an all out REALLY good time.

So, this session was for the beautiful Marisa, the love of my son’s life. Seriously, wouldn’t you be in love with her too? She is so bright, cheery, happy, loving, smart beyond all reason.  Why wouldn’t my 5 year old son talk about her CONSTANTLY?  And with that missing tooth? Come on. Too cute. We had about a half hour of sunlight and did everything else in near dark. I am just glad that spring is finally here. I can not wait to get outside more and take photos like a mad woman. It really is what makes me happy.

We are also adding HD video to my shoots, yay! I would love to have a video of a session with my children. It is like a moving photograph-so beautiful. I can not wait to show you guys the video of this session. Coming soon….

Vegas with two babies

March 12, 2010

Okay, seriously? Does my family make cute babies or what? I am oh-so-lucky to have a mother and a sister willing to fly out to Las Vegas for me just to take care of my baby while I attend a photography conference. And we are not talking about any baby here. Yes, she looks sweet, but man is she a fussy one! People laugh because she is so smiley and moves around ALL THE TIME out in public, but really, at home, she is quite the handful. She also just cut her first real tooth, and I am sure that hurts. Overall, though, I go a little crazy at home and I am her mother! I know my sister must have had a hard time with her, but she laughed and had such a good time the whole time. I wish I was so laid back.
So, I was attending lectures all day by brilliant photographers, and my sister and mother somehow managed to handle a very busy one year old and my own very fussy 6 month old. Thanks guys, I could not have done any of it without you. At least we got some really sweet photos of them at this age.

nikki: The pics are amazing!!!!!!!! I'm in love with her all over again!(not that i ever stoped!) Thanks for fixing the chin thing-I look 10 years younger. Love ya -Nikki

Kim: So much fun!! Love her outfits!

Missy: Great pictures Stacey! I'm glad you had such a great time at WPPI. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you! Sorry we missed meeting up the last few days. Best wishes for you photography, I love your work!

Leaving {for} Las Vegas!

March 6, 2010

She doesn’t know what she is getting herself into. Maybe I don’t either. We are leaving in just a few hours for Las Vegas! To go to the biggest international photographer’s conference of the year, WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). And I am bringing my baby. To Las Vegas. That’s right. It is either bring her (babies need to be with their mamas!), or not go. So, here we go. Wish us luck and we will see you again in a week or so! I am an old pro at Texas Hold Em’, so ask me when I get back how much I won:)

Holy cow! It was so great to photograph these newborns triplets. They are so beautiful and happy and calm (most of the time!). And when they are not, their mama is the most laid back one you can find. They are so lucky. I can not wait to see what these little boys are up to at 6 months. They will be so full of life and quite a handful, I am sure:)

Michael Gallegos: These are the most handsomely cute dudes ever...the next ELP or Rush?? Hmmm - maybe chemical engineers or writers? Peace makers (ie anti-politicians!)? we'll see - Awesome and creative photos, Stacey, and was a priv to meet you and see you working with mom and the boys.

Lindsey Gutman: I love them!! What a fun day taking the pictures.

Marc Gutman: Keepers for sure!

Lori Fox: Wow, you are right Linsdey, I for sure see some Nathan there! What a cutie!

Kent Morris: Great pics! Love all the dark hair and the pic where Charlotte is playing the interested big sis.

Meghan Goodling: So cute!! I love all the pictures!

Avery was so sweet, and quiet, and sick today, poor baby.  Those beautiful eyes! Don’t worry mom, we got exactly 1 smiling photo:)

lisa knaggs: she's certainly something! :)

Um, seriously? Do babies come cuter than this? I LOVE these boots. Mom, where did you get them? Please tell us! And those thighs? Oh goodness, one day they are going to be sooo glad that they got photos when they did-as soon as she starts crawling she will start to thin out a bit. I just love these photos and can’t believe this was just a mini session (half hour). So sweet.

jamie: Thank you for amazing photos Stacey. I have to admit, Peter, myself and our family are probably responsible for at least 100 of those extra visits. Can't wait to do it again in September.

Angela: In awe of all your photos! On this particular shoot, I love the one in the orange chair, and the last one. You've got the cutest hat shots!

What a sweet baby! Her mama and some of her friends got together to do a day of mini session in the studio. India was such a calm, happy baby-and I LOVE this age. Amelia was born the same week as these babies. They all seem so small still:)

Grandma Barb: What a cute baby!
