Hi, I'm Stacey

 I live in Carlsbad, California with my husband and two children. 

My little ones are not so little anymore, they are 17 and 19. Being a portrait photographer, I am fortunate to be able to take a lot of pictures of my own family and children. I didn't start working as a photographer until 2008 though, and my kids were born in 2004 and 2006. I don't have professional newborn photos of my children, and that is something that I regret every day. At the time, we chose not to invest in portraits. I look back and can remember the smell of their sweet little baby skin. I remember their tiny fingers and toes. And I have to live off of those memories because I don't have beautiful artistic portraits of them during that "brand new" phase. If I could go back, I would, and I would capture it in the printed image.

You need pictures of those moments frozen in time as art that you can hold in your hands and preserve the memories in time. Do it before they grow another inch. I love being able to capture those precious moments for my clients.
