my name is stacy & this is my space to post little moments, little gems throughout the day, and memories in photograph form. i love to photograph my family most of all, and all the adventures and beauties in our life in san diego. my husband & i are so blessed with our family & friends and this is a little way to savor each of the things and people we love so much. i do photography for others as well, so from time to time i'll post pictures from a photo shoot. but mostly - this blog is a creative space for me. thanks for checking in! xoxo stacy

a week…

it’s been a sweet week.

i have quietly cherished simple moments with my little ones. and been over the moon seeing families i adore and get the honor to photograph… being a working mom has its challenges, and big rewards too. today a fellow working mom said it best, “when you have a productive day at work and your ‘work/life/mom’ balance is a success, you feel like you can conquer the world… then a week later you’re sobbing asking how in the world will you be able to handle it all…” we laughed at the truth of this. when it works, and i get to do what i love AND be a mom — it doesn’t get much better. (i’m leaving out that i called my friend emily sobbing for the silliest thing yesterday that was overwhelming me…)

but overall, i truly feel blessed to have the most kind, adorable, supportive, and might i add… beautiful clients ever! thank you to all for letting me do what i do and love it so…

…and best of all — that i can be with my boys for the little moments of quiet in the day and the big moments of chaos & fun too.a few teasers from a couple shoots this week…

I just have to say I am thoroughly enjoying your beautiful photography….

I was wondering if you could tell me the camera you mostly use and your favorite lens? For instance, the photo of your oldest son in front of your little guy getting a bath in the sink? I love that. Beautiful.

Thanks so much
