Definitely not letting the cold get in the way of me traveling to Kansas City and seeing these sweet new babies and seeing those loyal clients that allow me to work with their families every time I get a chance.   Had a wonderful weekend and Missouri was good to me because it really wasn’t that cold for January and the sun was shining!  Check back in the next week to see a little snip from your session here…See you in JUNE Kansas City

Well, here they are!   Their first day of a new school year and it’s so bittersweet.  We only have “graders” in our house, which makes them and us way too grown up!  We had a great summer (although very trying at times…) with a trip to Kansas, Oklahoma, Orlando, Lakeland, Tallahasseee, and St. Augustine.    I thought it would be much easier to keep them home part of the summer, but all it proved to me is that I am a cranky mom when I have the girls here while I am trying to focus on work too.    Although we did have a lot of fun once we got to our destinations… I think school definitely started just in time.   But now the house is quiet, and it seems that I should have just sat back and enjoyed it a little more.     We are excited to see what the new year brings.  We hope everyone had a great summer and hope an even better start to the new school year!     Stacy

Get ready Mrs. Gemmer, here Abby comes!  Always in full force

I hope Mrs. Ish can have some patience with my chatterbox Hanna……always a social butterfly and at this age – WHOA

I can’t believe it has been over two months since my last blog post……Facebook has really been the reason, I can’t lie

I wanted to announce some very exciting changes if you don’t follow me on Facebook.  I am in the middle of creating a brand new PORTRAIT website!  I am thrilled to finally find the time to do this.  It is going to ROCK and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.

With this, it was time to also make some changes to our pricing structure.    I have really been fighting with myself about this, but the increases in cost of doing business over the last 3 years has really forced me to finally make the move.  It only made sense to do this along with the launch of the new website.

I hope everyone is having a great summer!  If you can believe – my weekends for holiday sessions are already starting to book!  If you are considering an outdoor session from September to November and you need a weekend, PLEASE contact me as soon as possible.

THANKS to everyone for your continued support!!

I really can’t believe it was six years ago today that I was calling my sister in Tallahassee to let her know that she would be sharing her birthday with her newest niece…and to sweeten the deal, it was Mother’s Day.   This birthday for Abigail is so sweet for me.    It is the first time her birthday has fallen on Mother’s Day since her birth and it brought back the day like it was only yesterday.    Looking over at Jeff through my tears to say that she looked just like her big sister, Hanna, but “fat”!  ha ha….She was a big baby at 9 lb. 2 oz, but she was the best Mother’s Day gift a Mommy could have.  She definitely has put our parenting skills to the test over the last six years, but we wouldn’t trade her for anything.  She is a little stinker, but she is proving to us that she is a very sweet, kind hearted, smart, and really funny little girl.  She admires her big sister more than anything and she definitely lives life to the fullest.   Happy Birthday to my energetic Abigail Elizabeth!  WE love you!!!!

I can’t believe I haven’t posted to this blog since Hanna’s birthday in February!  I spend so much time updating facebook, that it’s hard to keep up!    There will be another blog post very soon because my sweet pea Abigail has a birthday next week!

I can’t believe it has been FOUR years since I started to go to Kansas City to shoot sessions…..WOW.  I am so blessed to have such great friends and family that support my journey and allow me to be part of theirs.  My dear friend, Darcie, is the reason this all started when she had this sweet boy, Owen, who is documented for his 4th birthday in this first image.  He is amazing and about to become a big brother for the second time!!  Thank you to EVERYONE who keeps me coming back to these short weekend visits to Kansas City, but a special thanks to my friend of 25+years.  D – I cherish our friendship and I love that you let your children call me “Aunt Stacy”.    Thank you so much for allowing me to stay with you and set up my studio in your home for these trips.   I look forward to coming back the beginning of June and meeting the newest  that is due very soon!!!!

Here is just a little peek from each of the sessions that weekend.  Thank you all for participating!  I LOVE seeing these kids getting bigger and love that they remember me and play during our sessions!

WOW.  February 28, 2001 at 6:47 p.m.  this adorable little baby girl blessed us so immensely.  Words can’t even describe how lucky we are to have her.  Hanna turns 10 TODAY.  It seems like yesterday that this tiny little 7 lb 11 oz baby girl was in our arms.  She has grown up so fast and turned into a beautiful, sweet, kind hearted, smart, funny young lady.   She reminds us regularly what’s important and thankful to God that he has a presence in our lives.  I was able to use Hanna last week as a model for a few local photographers to play and my friend Kristi Mangan shared this image of Hanna with me.  It captures her in every way….Thank you Kristi!  I hope to share more from her birthday session soon….XOXOXO to my Sweet Hanna!  Happy  Birthday Sweetie!  WE LOVE YOU!
