A while back I saw the Professional Photographer Magazine 2010 Cover Photo Contest was taking place and thought it would be fun to enter….at the time I had no idea what in the heck to enter….I have so many favorites and in reality……I am a small fish in a very large pond! But I thought what the heck I might as well have some fun and do it!!! Yesterday, looking at my calender I realized the deadline to enter a photo is June 1st!!! ACK! I spaced that one….but luckily it’s not too late!! After going through my photos over and over again…..I kept coming back to this image. Not sure why……probably because she’s mine…..and BEAUTIFUL…..and those eyes just grab a hold of me whenever I see this picture. Just since last night there have been 140 views to her photo and 27 ratings!!….so THANK YOU if you are a facebook fan…uh, I mean “liker”……and went and voted for my picture!!! I could use more views and ratings so if you are a gamer….here’s the link!!!! 
Thanks in advance for taking the time to vote!!!!
OK, OK,…..I couldn’t wait any longer! I HAD to share these! Introducing….the new session albums offered by Staci Bailey Photography! These luxurious session albums are absolutely stunning and a perfect way to showcase your photos! They contain 20 of your favorite images from your session! I have samples of many different cover colors to choose from and with certain covers like this orange 5×5 session album, you can personalize the outside to make it completely customized for you! I also offer 5×7 albums and 10×10 albums! In addition, throughout the year I will also be having mini sessions that will come with a black or white mini session album with all the images from your mini session!!! These 5×5’s are so cute and would make a perfect brag book! I was hoping to have some photos in the albums to share for this post….but time is getting away from me so you will have to wait to see the completed version until you order your own! Or until they are on display at Fairytales for Sandpoint’s annual art walk coming up this June!!!
These little treasures are so pretty…..the cover is silky smooth and feels oh so wonderful!
And the pages are thick so they won’t bend!
A couple sample pages….you get the choice of this darling frame or a full bleed photo.
A 5×7 session album photo sample.
I really can not say enough good things about these session albums!!! LOVE them! They are truly gorgeous!
You can bid on the 5×5 mini session package at relay for life if you want your very own 5×5 mini session album…..
OR call me today to set up your session and have 3 different session album sizes to choose from!!!
I am hardly ever in FRONT of the camera….I just prefer being behind it! And I think most photographers would agree…..they like being behind the camera also!!! But lately I have been thinking about all of our pictures and I am hardly in any of them….well, at least since we got rid of our point and shoot! So I am going to try and be in front of the camera more….for me….for my kids….for my family……just because. And I am so happy I switched sides today! Now….if I can get Owen to switch from drawing pictures for mommy to taking pictures with mommy, I will be set! 
There are some exciting changes going on at Staci Bailey Photography!!! Things might look a little wonky here and there for a little while during this transformation so thanks in advance for all your patience!!! And as always…..THANK YOU so much for your support! xo
Meet baby Hudson….you have seen his cute little mug before….he is the poster baby for my Relay for Life poster!!! And I have to say I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his name! He was an absolute doll during our session….and at just a week old was FULL of personality!!! He had so many expressions and I was so happy to be able to capture some of them. He didn’t fuss much….but oh the faces he made!!! Priceless!
These first two are with baby hats I made….and it couldn’t have been more perfect…Hudson’s room is close to the same colors!!!
I am going to say Baby Hudson enjoyed our session!
Ok….so here’s the deal! Leave a comment and if Baby Hudson gets 30 comments,
then his mama will get a special gift from Staci Bailey Photography!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Happy Day Everyone!!! Just posting about the Relay for Life coming up the first weekend in June. I hope you can make it…it really is an amazing event…and very humbling for sure. There are so many people affected by cancer and I know for me it has been a part of my life too many times. But I truly believe that by sticking together and fighting this disease as a team we can…and will win! As my son says…..let’s “Kick Cancer’s Butt!” I couldn’t agree more! I will be donating a mini session with a 5×5 mini session album containing all the images. The album is part of my new product line and I can’t wait to share it with you! You can bid on this package and a TON more in their silent auction…all proceeds going to help local cancer efforts. Go Cancer butt-kicking TEAM!!! WOOT!
And the “fan” winner…..”like” winner……is…..drum roll please………Sarah!!! Comment #7….”I love looking at your work! You really take some awesome photos!!” You are the winner of a $10 Starbucks card!!! Woot! I will email you and once I get your address I will pop your “thank you” in the mail!!! Thank you so much everyone for “liking” my page and my work and for leaving a comment! Your support is so appreciated!!! Now….600 fans…..hmmm…….oh yeah! We can do it!
Posted these adorable babies on fb yesterday….but had to share on the blog too….love it! Their mamas have been best friends all their lives….AND they had their babies on the same day….AND were at the same workshop to get these photos!!! How cool is that?!?!?! More Baby as Art…….
Last week I discovered a local photog out of Spokane and today I decided to follow her on facebook. I am so glad I did….her work is great and she just linked to a post that I think is worth sharing. She linked to this post by Deb Schwedhelm…..and I couldn’t help but link to it too…..and pass it on. I warn you…grab a tissue…..you will need it!
Is there a perfect time for taking photographs?
I loved this so much because it touched me on so many levels…not just as a photographer…but as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, cancer survivor. I know how important it is to have photos of you and your family….life is short…..you just can’t wait or take advantage of it. I recently booked a family portrait session for this weekend and was just telling my mom how I wish I would have lost some weight before we got the photos….but really? After reading this post…..who cares? My kids will love me for me….and if I am gone one day, the photos are all they have. I want to invest in now, for them later. Life is so short….there may not be a tomorrow that is why today is called the “present”.
Since starting my business a little over a year ago, I have been so blessed. I have a wonderful husband that has encouraged me the entire way…..two darling babies that have put up with mama’s never ending picture taking phases……wonderful family, friends, facebook fans, and best of all…..amazing clients! See? I told you I was blessed!!! This weekend I hit over 500 fans on my facebook page…..or should I say “like’s”….but really…that is SO WEIRD?!?! So I am sticking to fans…..just kickin it old school! I was so happy and grateful to hit that 500 mark that I decided to do a give away for a gift certificate to Starbucks! Yum! A friend of mine told me to be careful (Thanks JH!) about posting that kind of stuff on facebook because accounts have been shut down….and THAT would suck. So to be safe….I am doing the give away over here…..which is a much cooler place to hang out anyways!…psh! To enter…just leave a comment to this post – you must be a fan so if you aren’t, become a fan and let me know!!!…..it will be open until Tues night at 9:00 pm…..and then Wednesday morning I will draw a winner!!! Good luck!
And seriously….THANK YOU so much!!! I appreciate all your support more than you know!!! xo
Just one of Baby “H” today…..more coming later this week!!!
