Hiya! Awfully nice of you to visit my little ol' blog.

A quick description of me would be that I love my family, my friends, life, photography, and pancakes.

I live in Atlanta with my hubby, and I'm pleased to say that we both work as, what I like to call "functioning artists". I started my photo biz nearly five years ago, and feel lucky to have a career that is always changing and always challenging. I'm greatful for every day that I get to wake up and do what I love.

I'm drawn to all forms of art, and multiple styles of photography. However, I'm moved most by personality and character. This is what set me on the path to doing portraiture. Whether I'm shooting a beautiful wedding, a happy family, or a beloved dog, I'm always a portrait photographer. I want every image to speak volumes and make it's viewer linger just a little longer.

I wear my heart proudly on my sleeve, and that's what you will get from my photos. I will glady give you a little bit of myself in every frame I shoot.

happy birthday, new blog!

September 15, 2009

It’s a bouncing baby blog! I’ve been needing to add a fresh style to my blog for ages, and I finally have something that is more “Stacey” and less “Template #86″. Old blog, I thank you and I hope we can still be friends. It’s not you, it’s me.

Posts from my previous blog (which I’ve always affectionately referred to as “Kenny Bloggins”) have already been added to this new one. Yay! I’m going to have to get a little post-happy to keep this new blog moving forward. I’ve had so many fantastic shoots lately, and I can’t wait to have them up here on the interweb!

I can’t think of a better way to launch this here blog, than with a few shots from Matt and Liz’s day after shoot. I’ve known Matt for years, and can’t express how thrilled I am that he found such a wonderful lady to share his life with. They are a stunning couple, and truly good-hearted people as well. These are just a few of the images we took, but soon I will be posting a fun behind-the-scenes video of their shoot that my hubby and I put together. Another thing I’ve been wanting to do for ages. My to-do list and I are in the middle of an epic arm wrestling match, and I’m totally gonna win. Anyway, I had so much fun with the video, and it will show more of the pics from their awesome shoot. It was really nice of them to let us invade their photo session that way. So, here’s a little sneak preview…

We were walking through the parking lot, and couldn’t resist taking this pic. They were married on the 15th of August.

I love happy surprises during shoots. We wandered into Piedmont Park, and had no idea that there was a Pride event going on. There were so many people there, which made for some cool images….and we made some new friends that you’ll see in the video later.
