Perfect ~ Sandpoint’s Premier Newborn Baby Photographer

January 27, 2012

A client of mine shared this collage she made up of their daughters newborn session!  (One of the many benefits of having the digital files from your session!)  She wanted suggestions on how to display it and I suggested an Organic Bloom frame!  The display she created is SO CUTE!  And I think the Jessie frame in Espresso Bean is the perfect match!


A couple more examples…

12 in 12 January ~ Sandpoint Baby Photographer

January 18, 2012

Hello!  As some of you may remember, last year I teamed up with a bunch of great photographers and did a year long project called Project 52.  This year we are being kind to ourselves  and cutting it down to only one post a month instead of one a week!  This year the goal is to focus all of the posts on family.  Each month we will have a theme, however some of us may or may not follow the theme.  We might instead decide to make up our own theme for that month – whatever we want to do!  It’s much more relaxed and should be just as fun…..with less stress for me!  This first month’s theme is “self portrait”.  Ha ha ha ha ha.   We all know I am not the biggest fan of being in front of the camera, but occasionally I will brave it….sort of.

This last weekend we stayed home and it was wonderful.  I cleaned and organized for most of the weekend and put together some fun projects for the kids – which I really enjoyed as it seems like forever since we have done any fun projects.  One of the projects was making a Monster Mask.  You just take a paper bag, cut out holes for the eyes, and decorate!  Super easy and super fun!

Bella putting “makeup” on her monster…..she added 3 noses and lots of earrings!

Her finished Monster Mask…..beautimous!  Speaking of monster….not sure who that weird little monster is behind her?

Oh yes, that is MY oldest MONSTER!

His rasta-monster was my favorite.

And finally my self “monster”  portrait!  hee hee


Want to see some other self portraits?  Just keep following our circle starting with Haley Brooke Photography – Denver Area Photographer!

2012! ~ Sandpoint Baby Photographer

January 6, 2012

Happy Friday!  We are almost through our first week of the year and so far it has been a GREAT year!  I have high hopes that ALL of 2012 is going to be FABULOUS!   As most of you know I did a 52 week project last year and it was quite interesting!  Of course I started out guns-a-blazing, but then fizzled out as the year went on and busy season set in.  Soon, I was finding that it was time to post again and it felt like I just did!  And many of my supposed to be “creative, challenge myself” shots ended up being “whatever I have on hand and is close to the theme” shots!   It was much too labor intensive.  So, this year I am teaming up with most of the same gals and we are going to be doing a project called “12 in 2012″.  It will only be 12 themes this year and most of mine will be revolving around my family!  I started out in photography taking hundreds…no wait, thousands!….of photos of my babes.  Now they are lucky if I take any!  Usually when I do it’s for the wall of shame……photos that they really don’t want me taking!  ha!  Photos that will be used in the future for black mailing as teenagers.   Like the one I just got of the Big O in a pink princess dress because his sister some how talked him into doing it?  Yeah, those kinds of photos!  And I would actually LOVE to have some photos for my kids that have me in them!  So we will see how it goes!

What’s coming up for this year…….

I am still offering newborn photography to all Bonner General Hospital babies!  So far it has been SUPER FUN!  It really is amazing to get to see all these sweet brand new babies and capture crisp, clear photos for their parents!  It is curing my baby itch!  ha!  I can’t stress how important it is capturing your newborn those first few days…they change so quickly and those magical first few days are a blur before you know it!   And of course I still offer newborn photography in the studio!  Remember, if you are interested in a custom newborn photography session at the studio, please contact me BEFORE baby is born!  Ideally posed newborn photos are taken within the first 10 days of life when baby is still brand new!

Coming up this month I will be working with an amazing designer Corina Nielsen Designs to rebrand!  I am super excited to work with her and see what we come up with.  I am really looking forward to it!   She created Keri Meyers brand and it is fabulous!  Speaking of Keri Meyers…..who just happens to be another favorite baby photographer of mine….I will be attending her workshop in June of this year!  I can not tell you how excited I am!   June is just not going to get here soon enough!  She is a fantastic newborn photographer and I am totally amped about getting to learn in person from her!  Jinky Art is also coming to Seattle this fall and I would LOVE to go as well…that was actually the plan first…but Keri’s workshop over ruled!   My babies come first because that is what I LOVE to do!

I am still writing for Prop Insanity and hope to continue to do so this year!  I have met some awesome people and am so thankful for Miss Tracy Joy for having me be one of her writers!  It has been an amazing experience so far!  I also have some other fun projects in the works for this spring that I hope to be able to release info on soon, however as they are still in the works I am going to keep you waiting.  So not fun I know, but I am still ironing out the details.  But once I get all my ducks in a row, I will let you know!

I want to send a GIANT THANK YOU out to everyone for all of your support, for following me, and for being so great in 2011!  I treasure my clients, friends, and family and feel so blessed!  THANK YOU!  Without all of you, Staci Bailey Photography wouldn’t be possible!  I hope you continue to follow along in 2012!  It’s going to be a great year and I look forward to capturing your A.L.L.!!!  Your angels, your love, your life!!!  xo

A Sweet Message To All Moms! ~ Sandpoint Baby Photographer

January 4, 2012

My mom sent this to me around Christmas time and I had it in a post ready to share….just never published it.  But as usual….better late than never, right?  ;)

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas… For Moms

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the abode Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode. The children were finally sleeping all snug in their beds, while Visions of Nintendo and Barbie flipped through their heads. The dad was snoring in front of the TV, With a half-constructed bicycle propped on his knee. So only Mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter, Which made her sigh, “Now what is the matter?” With the toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand, She descended the stairs and saw the old man. He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug, “Oh, great,” muttered Mom, “now I have to clean the rug.” “Ho Ho Ho!” cried Santa, “I’m glad you’re awake, your gift was especially difficult to make.” “Thanks, Santa, but all I want is time alone.” “Exactly!” he chuckled, “So, I’ve made you a clone.” “A clone?” she muttered, “What good is that?” “Run along, Santa, I’ve no time for chit chat.” Then out walked the clone – The Mother’s twin; Same hair, same eyes, same double chin. “She’ll cook, she’ll dust, she’ll mop every mess. You’ll relax, take it easy, watch The Young and The Restless.” “Fantastic!” the Mom cheered. “My dream has come true!” “I’ll shop, I’ll read, I’ll sleep a night through!” From the room above, the youngest did fret. “Mommy? Come quickly, I’m scared and I’m wet.” The clone replied, “I’m coming, sweetheart.” “Hey,” the Mom smiled, “she sure knows her part.” The clone changed the small one and hummed her a tune, as she bundled the child in a blanket cocoon. “You’re the best mommy ever.  I really love you.” The clone smiled and sighed, “And I love you, too.” The Mom frowned and said, “Sorry, Santa, no deal. That’s my child’s love she is trying to steal.” Smiling wisely, Santa said, “To me it is clear, Only one loving Mother is needed here.” The Mom kissed her child and tucked her in bed. “Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head. I sometimes forget, it won’t be very long, when they’ll be too old for my cradle and song.” The clock on the mantle began to chime. Santa whispered to the clone, “It works every time.” With the clone by his side, Santa said, “Good night. Merry Christmas, dear Mom, you will be all right.” Written By: Karen Spiegler (Originally published in December 1993 issue of Manic Moms)   One of the greatest gifts God can give is our children – just as God’s greatest Gift came as a child. During these crazy weeks before Christmas, as you shop and bake and clean and decorate and mail cards. . . think of this as a reminder to take a moment for extra hugs and kisses and make sure your children know how much you love them. That’s what it’s all about anyway, right? Merry Christmas !

It doesn’t need to be Christmas to give your babes extra hugs and kisses…..that should be an every day event!  Blessings to you!
