A couple months ago I got a call from a sweet gal in California and she was wanting to get family photos taken while they were up in Idaho over Thanksgiving. We had our session last weekend at their family cabin and it was great! Their home was absolutly beautiful! Their family is absolutley beautiful! And the love they all have for each other is…..yep, you guessed it….absolutely beautiful!!! I truly enjoyed every minute of our session….and I had a really hard time picking my favorites for the sneak peek because I just had so many! BUT, I narrowed it down to these……

These photos are extra special because I was informed that they are “beach people”……they LOVE the beach. But for a while on their visits to North Idaho…..they leave that “beach family” behind in CA and out come the cowboy hats, cowboy/girl boots, hikes thru the woods, and even their horse! Just their family together, with no stresses, out in the wilderness, enjoying just a little piece of heaven!

Thank you so much T & T! I had such a great time with your fun, loving, beautiful family! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!!

Having some fun in the snow…brother won at first….then sissy got revenge!!!!

Enjoy!!!!

I was so honored when I got the email to take pictures for Mick Croon, an amazing local musician. He is putting together a cd, creating a website, and revamping his facebook and needed some pictures that he might be able to use for all three. I couldn’t have been happier to be the photographer! Here are some of my favorites……

Not only is Mick one of the nicest guys….but he is totally hilarious….he had me gut rolling the entire day!

.

These last three are by absolute favorites!

Thank you again Mick and Annie!

But wait! There’s more! Mick and Annie have been SO VERY KIND and are going to let me play his music on my blog!!!! So…..instead of just having the songs play……I made a slide show with some more of their session photos and am going to share with you! The show will only be available for a short while….so make sure to check it out! His music is AWESOME! I just know you are going to love the jams! And once Mick gets his CD out and his website and fb updated, I will let you know! He does local shows and I personally can’t wait to buy his cd!!!! Stay tuned!

Last weekend I had a super fun session with these two darling newlyweds. This session was super special……first of all, because I am related to this stunning beauty and we have known each other all our lives….and second, her new husband Mick Croon is a musician and the session was really for him to get pictures for his website and possibly a cd cover! BUT, I couldn’t resist getting some cute couple pictures….and they were all for it! We had so much fun, even though it was freezing cold out that day! I swear I must have laughed almost the entire time! These two are just darling together!

Thank you so much Mick and Annie for having me take your photos! I had a blast!

I hope you enjoy your “2nd” sneak peek!

I just adore these next three…..

Stay tuned! Mick Croon photos coming soon!!!

Last weekend I had an awesome session with the cutest couple! Just posting a fun one for tonight….stay tuned for the rest of their sneak peek tomorrow!!!

With pumpkin pies baking in the oven, my babies watching their favorite Christmas movies, and my husband out hunting to provide us food, I am overcome by a feeling of happiness. I am so very blessed and thank God that I am here and alive to enjoy this wonderful holiday. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband that works so hard to support, provide, and take care of us…….my beautiful, healthy, funny, smart children…….my loving and supportive family and friends……..my health and happiness…….and my awesome clients that make Staci Bailey Photography possible!!! There is so much to be thankful for! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi! I am still here! I know I have been a big slacker on posting lately….so the blog has been a bit stale…..ugh. Sorry about that……BUT that’s all going to change over the next couple of weeks!!! I had an amazing session last weekend and three more coming up this weekend! So there will be plenty of new pictures coming your way! I can’t wait!

This September my sister flew home from Cali and my mom wanted to get some family photos since she is not coming home for Christmas…..Rar! Aunt Jen!…..and of course I wanted some family photos too! I can’t say I am the biggest fan of being on the other side of the camera….but I do want some documentation of me with my family proving that I did exist! So I asked my good friend Jackie from Jax-Creations if she would come down to Garfield Bay and take some pictures of our crazy family! She said yes and I don’t think she knew what she was getting herself into! We are quite a bunch…that’s for sure! I am so glad she did! Thanks so much Jackie! We had lots of fun….and it was so nice to be the one NOT taking pictures!!! Here are some from our session….

The kids lovin on their goofy daddy….

The “Sir Goofs A Lot” twins…….

Daddy’s Princess……

My sweet boy…..

My silly girl…..

Just like her Aunti Jen…..in so many ways……

The goof balls with their “mana Cinny”……I usually don’t think O & B look too much alike until I saw these next two……

Mama with her girls……

Note to Jen: You will pay for the cheerleading doll you bought for sissy!!! Cookies…Cookies….Cookies and Cream….Yeehaw….WooHoo!

That is so true! Last weekend I had a super fun session with a bunch of awesome girls! You may remember the BEAUTY in the turquoise shirt from a prior session where we took photos for her upcoming 15th birthday…..this time, we added all her friends…..the girls that will be in her court for her birthday party! These girls were a hoot and had me laughing so hard my tummy hurt! We had some big adventures and great laughs….like trying to get them to be serious….it was next to impossible! Giggly girls? Uh yeah….that was an understatement! They were so silly and just super fun!!! I had a blast!

Thank you so much for having me take these photos! Here is a sneak peek of some of my favorites….I hope you enjoy!!!

If you haven’t seen anything like this before….definitely worth checking out! I have heard of this…..but have never seen it….until my good friend emailed me videos of her niece swimming!! She’s the little girl in the 12-24 mo old videos….absolutely amazing!!!! I got goosebumps and all teary eyed watching this! I wish they had something like this up here……it’s just INCREDIBLE!!!

Enjoy!!!

Infant Aquatics

Last weekend I had an awesome session with Mr “R”……a fun, happy, darling, little baby. I could have spent the entire day with him! I forget how special that time is…being around him, I immediately was taken back to when my little guy was that age….such a precious and happy time! They grow so fast!

Thanks so much for having me over “J”! It was truly a pleasure to meet you and your little guy and to take his photos! Can’t wait for our next session at 1 yr!!! Here is your sneak peek! I hope you enjoy!!!!!

Mr “R” giving his mama big smiles……he LOVES his mama!

Then he found me…..who the heck is that?

Hmmm….not too sure about this lady that is pointing that black thing at me……and doing all kinds of crazy goofy baby talk….

Ok…..I guess she’s all right……

Gotta love baby drool!!!….

……and baby toes!

Pure love……

Pitter Patter…..

….sweet baby.
