What do I wear to my session?

by Stacyon June 8, 2021June 8, 2021Leave a Comment on What do I wear to my session?

I don’t know about you, but I know that this is generally the last thing I think about! It’s so exciting to book the session and get everything set up; it only hits you later that, “wait, what am I going to wear??” Don’t worry, it happens to all of us! So, here are my …

Oops! So, what is a mini session? …

You want me at the session at what time??

by Stacyon June 8, 2021June 8, 2021Leave a Comment on You want me at the session at what time??

I’m sure that that’s the first reaction people get when they see my time suggestions: I will always suggest early morning, just as the sun rises; or late afternoon, as the sun is getting ready to set. What a pain, right? I mean midday is just so much easier for all concerned, right?! I’m going …

Celebrating Love: Simone & Juan

by Stacyupdated on June 8, 2021February 5, 20211 Comment on Celebrating Love: Simone & Juan

When I decided on this “celebrating love” series, I knew that I wanted to feature couples who were inspirational. Who were raw. Who were real. I also love hearing both sides of the love story, so you can imagine my joy when Simone told me that they had decided to each write their own responses …

  • This is my why ❤️ Give it a listen and then let's chat; comment below or pop me a DM 🥰

Growing up, I loved to pour over my parents’ photo albums. Those spiral bound ones with what I can only describe as contact plastic holding the polaroids and snapshots in place. I would point to them and ask:

Who is this?

Who was that?

Why am I naked, wearing only a pair of wellington boots?? (Yes, there is such a photo)

And there weren’t just the photo albums. There were also boxes stuffed to the brim; photos collected through the decades, from photos of my brother and I all the way through to generations long gone. Most photos with handwritten notes on the back giving names and dates, and if lucky, a location. I may not have recognized all the people, but I could create stories around them in my mind’s eye.

Which brings me to why I’m driven to capture these moments for you: I want you and your children and your children’s children to pour over these images and remember the day, the love, the laughter, the joy you shared and have those stories told.

Moms, I want you in the photos: As a daughter, I know the importance of having those memories with your mom documented; as a mother who is not always confident in her body, I know that being camera shy is a real thing, but this is important!

I want your grandkids to ask you about that party, that hug, that laughter: Granny, why was Grandpa tickling you? Great-Gran, is that really what Granny did as a child?? I want to give you these oh-so-important treasures, that become heirlooms, to hand down to generations to come so that they too can pour over them, remembering times spent with you and, for further generations, creating their own stories from them. ❤️
