Being a portrait photographer, I am fortunate to be able to take a lot of pictures of my own family and children. I didn't start working as a photographer until 2008 though, and my kids were born in 2004 and 2006. I don't have professional newborn photos of my children, and that is something that I regret every day.
At the time, we chose not to invest in portraits. I look back and can remember the smell of their sweet little baby skin. I remember their tiny fingers and toes. And I have to live off of those memories because I don't have beautiful artistic portraits of them during that "brand new" phase. If I could go back, I would, and I would capture it in the printed image.

Stacey with Lovely Baby Photography was wonderful!!! The entire experience was something I will never forget to capture our baby’s first birthday! From coordinating your session prior and all the details, to the moment you receive your pictures, she is so helpful every step of the way and has such quality in her work. Her studio is adorable and has everything you could possibly need! I was impressed with the quality of her props and how much ease the session had. I will be recommending her to all my family and friends in the area as I totally trust her to make something beautiful and that will

Stacey is great! She responded super promptly to my original inquiry and the entire process of booking was a breeze! She takes care of literally everything for the cake smash session, including the cake! From the outfit choices, to the different backdrops she has everything you could want to capture your child’s 1st birthday! She was super patient with my energetic little guy who didn’t want to sit still for any of his pictures! Highly recommend her!

Stacey was great with my daughter for her 1 year photoshoot. She has a studio where she takes care of everything, even the cake! She has a great collection of outfits, accessories and sets to choose from. She was very professional and great with my daughter - we got some really good photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get photos taken of their babies, newborn or milestones.

You will tell Stacey is not only professional but she really is passionate about her job. Our baby had so much fun and that's what every parent would like to see in addition to having good pictures taken. Just like Stacey will tell you, she will take all of the work out of the session for the parents, and you will just need to be there and have fun with your kid(s).

Stacey not only produces stunning photos, but her ability to tame the older one during the photo shoot was at another level, we were left impressed. Stacey has a nice studio, you show up with the baby, and she takes care of it all. If you are an expecting family, we highly recommend working with Stacey!
