Happy Mother’s Day! { Stacy Francis Photography }

05.09.10

Boy, once again it has been awhile since I’ve written.  I guess that makes it a bit hard to be a loyal follower doesn’t it?  I love reading other’s blogs, but the blogs I love most are those that are written in several times a week.  I’m seriously working on this folks.  Honestly I always wonder what it is I could say that would compel anyone to read more than the first few lines. I can have witty banter with anyone, but to write it down as a one woman show, that might be a completely new challenge.  The point of today’s post though is not to wallow in my lack of blog posting but rather to give a shout out to all the mother’s out there in the world.  You deserve today, a day to call your own.  I hope  you all have enjoyed a day, one that you didn’t have to plan or work at.  My husband Dan orchestrated a wonderful lunch with his family and mine.  He cleaned, he cooked (with the help of our 9 year old Grace), he served and he cleaned up.  He is now at baseball practice with our son so I can enjoy an hour or so of peace and quiet.  I’m enjoying that time getting caught up on email and blog posts… hmmm, should have taken a nap first!  I hope you all were as lucky.

Speaking of mothers, I had the privilege of photographing these two amazing moms to be (well both are already mothers…) last week Sunday.  We had an amazing and hysterical afternoon at the apple orchard.  Ever try to ride a tandem bike?  Ever try to be pregnant and ride it with another pregnant woman?  I haven’t, but these two can say they have.  I think from now on there should be a warning sign on tandem bikes, “WARNING, attempting to ride while pregnant could result in lots of laughter”.  Thank you Kimberly and Jennifer for allowing me to capture this time in your lives, for allowing me to laugh till the tears flowed and for putting up with my silly requests.  Jennifer welcomed a healthy baby girl just 4 days after this session, congratulations Jennifer and family!

Mommy & Me Sessions { WI portrait photography }

04.16.10

The blog is well on it’s way to being back to “normal”… still working on customizing a few things but at least I can post and my logo is at the top. I mentioned Mommy & Me sessions a couple of weeks ago before all went haywire. I’m so excited about these sessions! As a mother (and one who RARELY has her picture taken with her children) these sessions mean a lot to me. I think as moms we tend to forget to capture the moments of sheer joy we have when surrounded by our child(ren). These sessions are designed to capture the moments of joy, the sweet tender moments of being a mother. Here’s how they work:

Mommy & Me Mini-Session Day in celebration of Mother’s Day

25 minute session
Just moms and kids
No clothing changes
12-15 images shown in an online gallery for order
Session & 1 5×7 of choice and 1 image for your Facebook Profile picture.

Dads, this would make a great Mother’s Day gift! Call the studio to order a gift certificate.

These are limited sessions, call the studio today to schedule your Mommy & Me session with Stacy Francis Photography.  Sessions must be paid for at time of scheduling.  Any additional questions please call or email the studio.

Hair today… gone tomorrow… ~ WI Photographer

03.24.10

Corny, I know… but some days, that’s just me. Nearly 2 year ago my daughter Grace told me one morning as I was brushing out her hair that she wanted to grow it out long and donate it. Mighty big words for a 7 year old. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t do it. I’ve tried shorter hair, and trust me when I tell you, it’s not for me. I have crazy curly hair (I know, shocker to many of you), the shorter I go the worse it gets. I tried that just before I had Grace, chopped my hair off into a neat little bob, good golly it took me so much more time to tackle than it was worth each and every day. Now if I don’t feel like dealing with it a ponytail will fix the issue every time. But I digress… so for the better part of two years Grace has been working toward the 10 inches needed to cut for donation. It hasn’t always been easy, while she doesn’t mind me combing it, she is rather partial to ponytails. If I never see another ponytail on that child again I’ll be thrilled. So may cute things you can do with a young girls long hair, but my kid just wanted ponytails…every…single…day… The time finally came a couple of weeks, she finally had enough hair that she could cut it into a cute inverted bob. She was SO ready to have it cut, and so was I! While we were in Mexico I made sure to take portraits of her on the beach with her beautiful long hair flowing, then the day of the cut I took the camera with me to CTI to make sure we captured the details for her scrapbook (umm, yup I’m pretty sure that is the dusty thing in my office just waiting for the last 7 years of significant moments in her life to be added). I think many of the other patrons thought I was a bit crazy lugging my large camera and flash with me just for a haircut, but what kind of mom (and photographer) would I be if I didn’t catch this moment for her. Grace was super excited and was thrilled with her new haircut. Now I know you’re all wondering… “but what does this have to do with photography?”… well here’s the deal. In the spirit of my daughter’s generosity in donating her hair, I am “donating” (read giving away!) a complimentary session AND accordion album! All you have to do is post a comment below, I will do a random draw to determine the winner on Friday night. BTW, if you know anyone that is planning on donating their hair, have them contact me. I have a special session just for hair donation clients, 2 mini-sessions, one for before and one for after the cut.

Enjoy some before and after images of Grace.

Hailey Take Two ~ WI Baby Photography

03.21.10

So Ms. Hailey decided to start sitting up on her own just a mere week after our portrait session. Now this little stinker wasn’t even remotely sitting on her own yet when we had our session just 7 days earlier, nope, not even at weeble-wobble stage. Can you believe it, just 7 days later she was sitting for a good chunk of time all on her own. It always amazes me how quickly these little ones grow, but this little one completely shocked me. I just had to grab a few more images of her showing off her newly learned skill.
