Birthday Girl...

Bella's birthday pictures....well not the first two obviously....but all the others.....can't believe how fast time flies!

Our "little" chubby baby at 9lbs 4oz!!! She had big eyes from day one!


A couple days old....taking a nap on mama's lap....grumpy face girl....


And today.....Miss America!


Could this little stinker be any cuter???


You are not only beautiful Bella, but you are so smart, kind, and sassy too....


And a very sweet, sweet girl....



Bella, you are true to your name....BEAUTIFUL.....in every way.


And so innocent still.....I want to hold onto that forever....life can be rough baby girl...enjoy your childhood as much as you can...and never stop believing or dreaming....you can do anything you want to if you put your mind to it....

What?? That's a little deep for me right now mother....have this talk with me later....

I am all about having fun and being silly....

Yes you are beauty....there will be plenty of time for mama's lectures...but for now...just be you...because that's who we love the most! Happy Birthday sweet baby girl....our life is brighter and so much better since you came into it! Always know mama and dada LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, you!!!

Before and After.....

Just some before and after pictures of the Big "O".......finally cut his crazy long hair last week and what a difference it makes! This kid has a ton of silly faces....hopefully one day you will see a normal cute smile...but don't hold your breath! Hee Hee

Before.....

After.....

Such a big boy!

Happy Monday!

Miss "C".....

Just some of my favorites from Miss "C's" photo session......


Peek-a-boo.....



I love this one....doesn't she look so sweet?



Hee, hee, hee....


Another favorite....riding her pony.....those bouncing horses were/are the best!

After mama cut her bangs.....she looks so grown up!

Beautiful Mama.....

My first pregnancy photo session! Yay! I was so excited to take these pictures....AND got quite the baby itch! This beautiful mama is due in about 3 weeks and couldnt' be more radiant. We were laughing that most pregnancy pictures are taken earlier when the belly is nice and round, but I think ANY time is perfect. I was extra lucky that the baby was awake for our session and was being very active! Some of the pictures you can see a little bum poking up...then in the next frame the little bum moved! It was so much fun....I can't thank you enough Jennie! I hope you love them, because I sure do! Here are some of my favorites...












Can you see that bum sticking up at the top??? Or maybe a knee or a foot?



Love this one!


And this one...


Thank you again Jennie! Can't wait to meet your beautiful little angel....

Sneak Peek of Miss "C"....

I had the pleasure of taking photos of this sweet little angel yesterday....our niece! She is such a doll.....and probably the smartest little thing I have ever met! We had tons of fun and after I would take a picture she would say "Let me look!"....she wanted to see the pictures....it was so cute! She is just a sweetheart!

"C" is a quiet little girl sometimes and just takes it all in....she has such soulful looks.....and the most beautiful blue eyes.....


And although you can swim in those eyes....I just loved the b&w version....

And when she smiles.....she lights up the room! Love you little girl!

Thank you so much for having me over to take pictures....I had so much fun....can't wait to show you the rest!

Happy Monday!

Just a few to put a smile on your face this Monday......hope your week is wonderful!

Are you serious??? It's Monday already?


Maybe if I cover my eyes it will still be the weekend.....Peek-a-Boo! Nope, still Monday...


What??? The weekend is over?


Oh well....let's have some fun this week!


Laugh Every Day.....

Big Adventures....

Just some fun one's of the Big "O" playing in a diaper box and battling.....big adventures! He was having a blast and so was I taking all these fun pictures!

So Happy!



Giggle, Giggle.....


Goof Ball.....

Sweet Boy.....

The Warrior......I was told about 20 times last night that he is a "True Warrior".....

And a Pirate....

And at the end of the day.....a Sleepy Boy......

Live!!!

HOORAY!!! Staci Bailey Photography website is finally live! Now that pesky "under construction" sign is gone! Whew! I am so proud of this site....and super happy with it (for now)....building from scratch, it took me HOURS to create and get just right. Lots of loves and a huge thank you to my hubby and babes for putting up with mama sitting at the computer for hours...and hours...and hours! The site will continue to be a work in progess....there's music to add, a referral program to add (stay tuned for that), and the gallery will be updated here and there. I have added a new email for my business email... stacibaileyphotography@yahoo.com so don't be alarmed if you see this email on the contact page of the website. I still have my regular email (shown on the business card) and can be contacted at either one. I decided to go live a little early since I now have my work out in the public and have been asked for my website numerous times...just didn't want anyone to go to my site and see "under construction" and forget to come back! :-)

Last week I received my business cards and I am super happy with them...they are printed on pearl paper so they have a little bit of a sparkle to them...love it!

The front.....


And the back.....



I won't be doing any photoshoots until after the launch party in March, but I will start booking sessions from today (02/01/09) forward. In order to give my family and my clients the very best of me......I will only be doing 4 sessions a month. However, I will make exceptions for newborns under 2 weeks old. :-)

Keep checking the blog as this will be my main source for advertising specials, updates, and more. I hope to eventually add a mailing list link to the website and possibly to the blog...another thing on my to do list...

And speaking of specials.....In celebration of this new adventure, session fees will be half off until May 31st, 2009 and you will also receive a free 8x10 with your order!

Stay tuned for more info on the launch party, referral program (which will retro back to today), and lots more!

And last, but certainly not least....a little sneak peek from the up and coming birthday girl's birthday photoshoot.........


I am so excited to be starting this new adventure and can't wait to capture.....your angel, your love, your life!!!
