What can I even say about such a sweet little thing?

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 Perfect Pout

They say a baby is just a baby: they eat, poop and sleep.  I think this little one was showing off a bit.  Not only was she sporting the perfect amount of chunk; at 5 weeks she smiled, gave me smoldering eyes, and even a sleepy hug.  This little one had so many great moments for me to capture.

and the sleepy hug.

I love the squishy face.  Babies make the funniest faces when kissed.

The Many Faces of…

a very active baby boy. This is just a small taste. While editing these images I couldn’t believe all the different expressions this little one gave me. He was going from content to crying pretty often… until we turned on the heater. He loved the heater.


Ok, so he never did sleep. He did blink his eyes, though. I would say it’s pretty rare, if not difficult, to catch a perfect blink.


Never change a newborn.


This is just a taste of the range of emotions this guy gave us.


Can you believe today was our first snow? We had to catch it before it melted.
