Child portrait

Ist Birthday- Denver child photographer

Sometimes I just can’t believe when a baby becomes one.  Wasn’t it just a month ago when he was born?  But I know with my babes, when they FINALLY turn one it’s pretty great.  Just wait until diapers are a thing of the past.  Now THAT is a milestone worth documenting… or waiting for… because what kid wants to look at their potty documentary?  But it would be so cute.  Classic pull-out-when-mom-meets-that-girl-he-likes album.  “Oh, look how cute he was!”

Mom was game, if a little unsure, for having me come and photograph at their home.  “Our place is really, really small…”  It was perfect.  Enough light, enough toys, all his favorite things… This little guy was happy, he loved showing me all his favorite things. He really wanted my camera. Wanted to know how that thing works. Something in his eye told me, if he could, he would have taken the thing apart to see all the gears churning inside. A future tinker.

Ballerina and Lace

Three girls.  I can only imagine what it might be like to have three girls.  Lots of pink, haircare products, poofy dresses and lace.  And at least one ballerina.

3 Kids

These kids are pretty awesome. If they’d let me, I’d play with them every day. I know MY kids would be happy about that. It was great to see you all! Hopefully we can repeat the day… this time with more real play, less photographs.

Christmas Cards… it’s that time of year again!

Ok, so November is upon us. “Can’t escape November.”– The Office

I have been asked by the few folks I have photographed this season what I do for Christmas card orders. Well, typically I am told which images a client would like for the card and I create something unique.

I’ve been doing a bit of research and I saw a “newspaper” used for a family newsletter. I found a site with a list of the best newspaper design and got inspired to create this:

I’d like to see what could be done for a folded cards’ interior pages (this example is for a 5×7 flat card). What do you think? Are there any designs out there you would like to see offered by Stacie Smith Photography?

Below is what I have uploaded to the card ordering section of all photo galleries to help you choose your favorite card design. You may also have me design something completely custom. Just choose your images and card size and I’ll run with it, showing you proofs each step of the way.

Red Rocks II


This one’s destined for the yearbook. Good choice M.


This shot I think is my favorite from the day. This is so her and she’s wearing her fave, everyday jacket. So glad she brought that along.
