Dear Lindsay Lohan . . .
Did you guys SEE this commercial? I personally think it’s absurd that she thinks this was a poke at her, just because they use the same name. Come ON, Lindsay Lohan! And no, you’re not “like Madonna or Oprah”. What is this world coming to?!?
Here are a few of my favorites from their beautiful big day . . .
Her sweet little girl is only 8 days younger than Quin!
We got tons of pictures of her looking under Katie’s dress, but I loved this one because it was the moment just before all of this took place and I adore the look on her face!
Disclaimer: If you’re tired of seeing pics of a sweet lil red-headed monkey, then move along. For everyone else, please proceed with kleenex in hand. His sweetness may cause you some tears. Love, Stace

Quin is 4 Months Old! He’s sitting, rolling, cooing, smiling, laughing and learning like crazy! My favorite things right now: his chubby thighs, his smirk, how WILD his hair is getting with each passing day, the enormous smile he gives me when I go to pick him up in the mornings, and how badly he wants Buddy to love him.
I’m not sure how I forgot to blog these guys, but I sure did!
Hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine’s Day! Stan and I went on a date - without the red-headed monkey! It was so fun . . . we actually had an uninterrupted conversation over a fantastic dinner AND went downtown (like cool young people) and saw Stan’s classmate’s husband play the drums in his amazingly awesome blues band! What fun!
Here are some favorite pictures from Jim and Lisa’s engagement session. These two are the bomb!
Hey everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful Superbowl weekend! I am so pumped today because I had the opportunity over the weekend to really sit down and think about business stuff that I’m wanting to re-vamp and improve on and, after doing tons of research online, I am so inspired and excited to put some changes into play!
Sorry I’m being super vague, but there’s just so many things I want to do that we’ll just have to see it all come to fruition together! Anyway, just wanted to say that I’m pumped - YAY!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from a family portrait session I did with some very close friends of ours. The McGs are some of our oldest and dearest friends and we love them so much!
Have a happy Monday!
I remember waaaay back when I didn’t have a kid, I would hear seemingly frazzled moms moaning and complaining about their babies having runny noses and big, congested coughs and think that they were just ridiculous! After all, there are MUCH worse things in the world than your silly baby having a cold!
Well, as with MANY other experiences, having my own baby with a cold, I am here to say: It is much, much worse than I ever imagined! Nobody tells you that it’s not just a runny nose . . . it’s a poor, horribly distraught baby who has NO idea what is happening to his body and is just plain miserable! He doesn’t eat, sleep, play, poop, or breathe right anymore! He is absolutely beside himself because he feels so lousy. And as a mom, what are you to do? It’s a cold - there’s virtually nothing you CAN do except let it run it’s course.
It’s true - there are still many ways that things could be much worse - I don’t deny that. But man, a sick baby is a much more difficult thing than I ever imagined. So, moms: I stand corrected. Sorry I judged you as whiny. I was wrong.
This is an outtake from Quin’s 3 month session, but I thought it would be an appropriate picture to accompany this post because this is, more or less, the look I’ve been given for the past 24 hours straight.
Loved my time with these two! Allen and I have known each other for years from working together at Camp Allen. I was SO honored when he called me about shooting his wedding, though I’m still in disbelief over the fact that Allen is old enough to get married! I guess we’re all getting older . . . . sigh.
Allen and Stephanie are adorable and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding! Here are a few favorite pictures from their engagement session . . .
Bonk! Ouch. These shots would normally be outtakes, but I LOVE them, so I had to hold on to ‘em!
My favorite x 1 million . . .
I can hardly believe it’s been three months.
When I think about the early days of Quin’s life . . . what a huge adjustment it was to have a new baby and to get NO sleep . . . it seems like MUCH longer than three months. But when I think about the last couple of months and how quickly the days with my sweet angel just fly by, it seems like just yesterday that I first saw his beautiful face.
It’s official, world: I am in love with this guy.
Quin is an absolute delight and I love being his mother! Each day he gets sweeter, funnier, stronger, and smarter and it’s an absolute miracle to witness! Motherhood is so much greater than I ever expected and Quin is a greater blessing than I ever though possible.
Fun things Quin is doing these days:
1 ) Smiling CONSTANTLY.
2 ) Cooing and oohing and ahhing and screeching - all day long!
3 ) Rolling over - okay, only once (today - hooray!) - for the first time.
4 ) Picking up toys and moving them from one hand to the other.
5 ) Showing a major preference for the outdoors . . . he loves put his bare hands and feet in the grass.
6 ) Responding to our faces and voices.
7 ) Putting everything in his mouth and drooling like crazy! Those teeth - they are ‘a comin’!
8 ) Sleeping really well at night - yippee!!
I’m trying to commit to doing a portrait session each month of Quin’s first year because I know how quickly he’s going to grow and I don’t want to forget a thing! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Quin’s 3 Month portrait session . . .
Yay for engagement portrait season being back!
I LOVE shooting engagement sessions and I always miss it during winter or summer because nobody (including me!) wants to do them when it’s 105 or 25 degrees outside! Doing engagement sessions also gets me pumped about all the adorable couples I’ll be shooting in the coming year and Steven and Amanda are no exception! I enjoyed my time with them and just loved watching the two of them crack each other up. All these smiles and giggles are genuine!
I am a sucker for sweet babies. Oh man, I was in HEAVEN shooting Carli and Vi’s 1st Birthday party! These girls make me look good! How could I not take adorable pics of them?! If you have babies, please call me about shooting their birthday parties - I love it! My coverage includes a ‘lil one portrait session, too!
