Unique art for the moms
I cannot wait to create 10 more of these beautiful, totally unique and perfectly imperfect portraits on April 26th. I know what the moms in my family are receiving for Mother’s Day.
Do you?

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.
Gettin’ Hitched!
These two, I am happy to say, will be married in June. Mr. C was India’s teacher for two years so she is excited for me to photograph their wedding. I don’t photograph weddings often enough and I miss feeling the love each couple shares with everyone on their day. Thanks so much for entrusting me with your special day. I think Erin will make a beautiful bride and Mike will be all smiles.
What do you think this is? Summer??
Yes, yes. I feel I haven’t been posting much lately. It’s true. I have quite a backlog of images. I sent this book out who knows how long ago and I’m just now posting about it.
It is always sad to send the albums I make away. I want to keep them all, they are so beautiful. I can image my kids looking through them in 10 years. “Who the heck are these people?” It’s very good (for everyone) that I send the albums to their rightful owners.
I love this paper and am so happy with how the cover turned out.
Just a couple of my favorite pages in the album. I really like the images to take up the whole page… and more.
My First and Last
A couple of weeks ago I photographed my first wedding of the year and my last wedding in Baltimore. I can’t believe our stay was so short. One and a half years, almost to the day.
This was such a beautiful wedding and we really lucked out on the weather. I love the spring and especially love daytime weddings! Here are a few of my favorites:
Last words of encouragement from mom.
I love the color and light of this shot.
Right when they were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. the groom let out a big sigh and the geese began honking. The crowd got a kick out of that.
Beautiful environment. I love that there were two old barns on the grounds.
Even with the threat of rain, the tent was bright and cheery
I love, love this color!
Now this is a girl who knows how to eat. I have another shot of her eating bacon and eggs. I only wish my girl had such a wide range of foods.
Lots of kids at this wedding. These are only a few of the awesome shots I got of them.
Oh, and grownups acting like kids. This is the soduko game at the kid table.
What a great smile. It only took a bit of coaxing.
These kids were a lot of fun. Later in the day we went off on a photo adventure where they could do anything in front of the camera. Much better than the family group photographs they had to sit still through.
Ah, the petal toss. I love it! What a great way to end a perfect day.
