Brothers and Sisters

I could just feel the love today! L completely looks up to and loves her big brother K, and it was evident at our shoot today. K is a typical teenage boy who likes to pick on his little sister. All completely done out of love, of course! Thank you to the P family for sharing this time with me!

Sacramento Parents - Portfolio Building Sessions

I am a local Sacramento photographer/designer available to take your newborn and child’s photos. I am a mom also, and I understand the desire to have great photos to cherish during this time while they are so small. You cannot get those moments back. I have a passion for everything baby and kids – which is evident in the current stationery business that I operate (www.babycardexpressions.com) and my passion for photographing these moments. I use natural light and I prefer to catch babies and kids in their everyday moments.

I am in the process of building my portfolio. For a very limited time I am booking sessions at a steal - just $100.00. Your session will include an hour of my time in your home or at an outdoor location, photographing 1-2 children. ($25.00 per additional person). Must be within 20 miles from zip code 95820 (East Sac area), or additional travel fee will be charged. I will consult with you by phone prior to the session to discuss with you choices for clothing, lighting in your home, etc. Upon completion of the session, within 7 days, I will have a CD available for you with approximately 20 edited and processed photos. The CD will include a release which will allow you to print the photos at any lab of your choice. The only exclusion in the release will be birth announcements (which I can do for you!). I will request a release to be signed by you as well, to allow me to use the images to promote my photography website which I will be launching this summer. If you would like to see a copy of the release prior to your session, I would be happy to send it to you to review. The release will need to be signed at the time of the shoot.

http://www.lovelybabyphotography.com/ – My website, coming soon.
http://www.lovelybabyphotography.blogspot.com/ - My blog, where I will be posting images from my portfolio sessions.
http://www.babycardexpressions.com/ – My current website in operation since November 2006, Baby Card Expressions, where I offer baby birth announcements and more.

I am available for newborn, children, maternity and family photo sessions as well. If you prefer that I print photos for you, we can discuss options and pricing. I print photos from sessions through a very high quality photographer’s lab. Once my website launches I will no longer be including the CD with high res images and release with my packages – so now is a good opportunity! Valid through June 2009, subject to change at any time.

A few more of little Schae

I had the opportunity to spend some time with Schae and his family this week. Here are a few more from a morning shoot with the adorable little guy.

Little Schae

He is such a little sweetie at 18 months! My favorite saying from my shoot with him today was "awesome". He's a little surfer dude at heart - crocs and all!

Sweet Baby and her Big Sister!

Finally, I'm am posting photos from last weeks session with little Allie and her big sister. She was such a little sport! Her parents were very pleased, and so was I!

What a lovely baby!

I'm so excited to share my first baby photo shoot! I will be posting early next week with images to share. I worked with a beautiful 5 month old little girl and her big two year old sister. They turned out so gorgeous! Stay tuned for the photos!!

Preparing to Launch Lovely Baby Photography!

Welcome to the Lovely Baby blog! I have always loved photography, and it has been my goal for a long time to buy a digital SLR, and "go for it" by diving into the photography world and capturing life's moments. Well, the time has come. I love it, and I am going full force, which is what I always do when I get an idea. I am currently building my portfolio and I will be sharing it with you here! My website - http://www.lovelybabyphotography.com/ will be going live over the summer, so stay tuned!

I plan to serve the greater Sacramento area - including Citrus Heights, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln and Folsom. I will be offering newborn photography (great fit with my other website, http://www.babycardexpressions.com/) as well as family and children's portraits. My style is catching kids and babies in their natural setting and capturing their personalities along the way. I have never liked the "studio" posed style, and I am definitely the opposite of posed and contrived! I am so excited to share the next few months worth of photos with you here, and when the site launches!


In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email me at stacey@babycardexpressions.com.

Here are a few to share for now.
