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.
The party to end all parties
How could you beat the rock n’ roll birthday party? What will you do next year?
The kids dressed up, played rock band for awhile, had a watermelon spitting contest (which I won, hehe), were handed golden cd awards, and even had a cd cover photoshoot a la Stacie. Here are the results.
I’ll try to name who I can:
Here’s the birthday boy; AKA Tommy Lee

Guns N’ Roses? No… Lars from Metalica

Ozzie

Singer from “Green Day”



Hannah Montana

The girl from “Camp Rock”


Dude from “Foo Fighters”

Gene Simmons


All the way from Argentina
Our neighbors have had family in town for awhile and wanted to mark the occasion with some portraits. I am so happy they chose me to photograph them. We love living so close to such a wonderful family and can’t wait to have our girls go to school together.







Let’s go someplace different…
So we did. Every time I see a building with a cool texture or color or pattern I want to photograph at that spot. Saturday this little fam was game for anything. We headed to two of the places I keep seeing. Can’t wait to go to the other spots on my list.
This little guy was so happy and friendly. When I asked for a mean face he got very confused. He’s such a nice kid he hasn’t ever used a mean face.
