Yes, Ok so maybe I’m slightly craving them. Who cares if there is 30 inches of snow on the ground. I love my smoothies!!! In fact I love them so much that I was so upset one day when I went to my favorite… Tropical Smoothie, and they had sent workers home because of the snow. HUMP what where they thinking?
Didn’t they know I was coming?

So here I am coming clean again….My name is Stacy and my current craving is SMOOTHIES….

Look who’s got something cookin! Yup it’s true “baby” number 3 is bakin…and should make his or her arrival this July. Yes it’s a total shocker…not planned! I mean my babies are 9 and 10 and the 10 year old has less than 2 weeks before she is 11. I’m very excited to have a new subject whom unlike my son won’t be able to run from me or my camera for about a year.

Morning sickness I *think* is finally over WOO-HOO…what a doozie that was! Up until now only my family knew so here I am coming clean to the world. {sigh I feel better already}
note I really just exhaled!

My deepest apologies for being slow in returning emails and phone calls to everyone. {Including my mom} I’m working on a schedule for this spring/summer. So if you were *thinking* about booking or wanted to book please contact me now so we can get your date on the books. Rolling around 7-8 months pregnant wouldn’t be cute….LOL

*SIGH* there I said it! I can’t thank my clients enough who happen to be extremely patient with me during the holiday - morning sickness - illness of my dear grandma and her passing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

To all my Y2K & newer moms out there feel free to send me all your links/secrets/reviews/and all things on newborns :-)

Oh and she would kill me if I didn’t say something…my girl took these images for me during the first falling of the snow yesterday. She has a wonderful eye and will make a wonderful big sister not to mention photographer!

Much like when Katrina happened, watching the news on the horrible situation in Haiti saddens and frustrates me. There are many incredibly brave men and women who are out there volunteering their time and risking their lives to help. I wish I was in a position and of strong enough constitution to do the same.

But I’m not.

So instead, I’m teaming up with Helping Hearts! My mentor/across the miles friend Michele Anderson of Pinkle Toes Photography, and her dear friend Lyndsay Stradtner of Life in Motion Photography, decided that together, we need to do something to help. But, we need you, too! Here’s the deal:

• Forward a copy of your receipt to snlprophoto@gmail.com.
• All entries must be RECEIVED by midnight (Eastern time) on January 27th.
• To keep things fair donations have to be dated from today thru the 27th .
• Winner will be drawn at random and announced on January 28th.
• That gives you a week to shop for the perfect sweetheart outfit, if need be. ;-)

Other details:
• Session participants must sign a model release.
• Session must be held in Leesburg on Feb. 5th.

(dads mom)
Thank you for the warm hugs and kisses. The delicious “Lincoln food” for letting me sleep in your bed every Monday night while we watched TV. For taking me out on Tuesday’s to run all your errands. For sending me to the corner store to pick something up for you but always telling me to get what I want. For calling not just me but all of us “Grandma’s baby” For being the Rock of our family. For the BEST Sunday dinners! For taking me to Sunday School. We hate not having you around!

This image was taken years ago when she still worked as the “Pie Lady” at Hill High Orchard in Round Hill Va.

I’m behind on blogging and going to do my best to catch up.

I want to start with this sweet sweet baby girl that I recently met. She belongs to this lovely couple!
I promised Rob that I would come back and allow him to post the blog entry for his maternity images however lots of things happen and I never got around to posting so I’m doing that now. Here is what R had to say about waiting for his newborn…first born.

So Stacy has invited me to write a blog entry for the sneak peak of our maternity shots. I’ve been staring at the super sneak photo she posted for the past 10 minutes wondering what to write and I’m kinda stuck. I feel like the image she has captured says everything I could say and more. I can see my love for Mandy and our connection. I see my joy at becoming a father and my amazement at this process of creation. I can see the exciting prospect of things to come. And if I look close enough, I can see a precious little life tucked inside that beautiful belly, swollen with pure potential.

Thank you Stacy! Thank you for helping us capture these moments. Thank you for your guidance and expertise and for your kind words and keen eye. Just when we thought we couldn’t be more excited about what’s happening, you turned it up a notch. I can’t wait to see the rest of the sneak peak and am looking forward to our future sessions in the months and years to come.

R

R & M this image happens to be one of my FAVORITE images hands down. The love connection is nothing short of magical! Here’s to 2010. What a way to start the year.
