Baby Quin is HERE! :)

Blog world – I am absolutely giddy to introduce you to the sweetest new baby in the world, Mr. Quin Cross!

Quin was born on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 and was 8 lbs, 12 oz (BIG boy!), 21 1/4 inches long. He has a head of long, gorgeous, mysteriously red (more like longhorn burnt orange, to his father’s delight) hair! He is wonderful, incredible, and more than we could have ever prayed for or imagined. Our hearts are full.:)

Needless to say, I’ll be out of the office for a while, but will try to get back to returning emails as soon as I can muster the energy and find the time!:)This guy is keeping us busy with all the joys he brings!

Thanks for your excitement, prayers, and thoughts over the last many months!

Much love,
Stacy (and Stan)

Still Preggies!

Just so you know.:)

I had NO idea how many emails, facebook message, phone calls, and drop-bys I would receive by people just wanting to know if I’m still pregnant – hahaha!:)It’s SO awesome to have so many people sharing this exciting time with us – THANK YOU! On that note, though – I PROMISE we’ll be sure to update the blog, facebook, the UNIVERSE when baby Quin finally gets here! You will NOT be able to miss it!

Lots of love,
Stacy, Stan, Buddy, and Quin (waitin’ in the wings!)

Awaiting our Quin!

Stan and I have now entered the ever-exciting “any day now” phase of waiting for our sweet baby boy to make his arrival! I had NO idea how hard this wait would be, but I’m doing my best to remember that I need to cherish this time of rest and preparation.:)We could not be more excited to welcome Quin into our world and we cannot even imagine the love we’re going to feel for him, considering how much we already LOVE him!

I wanted to share a few pics from his nursery, which is finally *almost* done! All I have left to do is go grab his changing pad and decide what picture I want to put in that huge black frame you see there over his changing table.:)What do you think? I love it!

My dear friend Amy made this cute “Quin” decoration and I just adore it!

Here’s a more up-close picture of Quin’s crib blanket, which I just love! We’ve been calling him “Monkey” from the beginning, so it just fits!:)

One of my favorite things to do is to go into Quin’s room and look at his sweet little clothes all laundered and ready for him to wear. I’ll just sit there and imagine his squishy little self filling them out and my heart is filled with excitement! Actually, Stan and I both spend a lot of time in Quin’s room these days. I caught Stan doing his school reading in my nursing chair the other day, which was just the sweetest thing.:)

And here’s a family photo (Buddy’s too good to look at the camera, apparently!) taken by my friend Sarah Q the other day . . .

We’ll see you soon, Quin! We can’t wait!!:)

Natalie’s Maternity Portraits

Natalie is one of my very closest friends and, while she’s been in front of my camera before, there was a special sweetness to her maternity session. You see, baby Sam (who has since been born!) and baby Quin are destined for BFF-hood, along with their friend, Baby Jordan. Ever since Tash, Nat, and I found out that we were all having boys, we’ve referred to our little guys as the “three amigos”. Quin’s the only one left to make his appearance, which we’re all praying will be soon!:)

Anyway, before Natalie gave birth to her beautiful baby boy, I had the chance to document her gorgeous belly and full-on pregnancy glow! She was amazing! Here are a few of my favorites . . .

Some Maternity Portraits (OF ME!!)

Last night I got together with my dear friends and fellow photographers Sarah Quiara and Jennifer Nichols for a fabulous maternity session! I love these girls SOOO much and I am so lucky that they love me, too and wanted to put me in front of their cameras.:)These two girls are so talented and it is such a huge gift to have them capture me during this amazing time! Sarah posted a few pics from our session last night on her blog and I LOVE em! Here’s a couple of my favorites:
