Just one of many wonderful memories. How wonderful little girls are!

My Christmas Card for 2009

Though my card will go out late this year... better late than never! These are my daughters Anika (7 about to be 8) and Jaida (4 going on 14!)! They take up all my time but I know it will all be worth it some day when I am old and grey.

To Tammy My Survivor & Hero

I just recieved a facebook message from my friend Tammy. She has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will go through all that you can imagine to fight this. I miss Edson because of people like Tammy. She is a strong wonderful women and mother. I had to privilage of caring for her girls and seeing her grow over the years as she went through her divorce. I only wish I was closer to be there for her, to give her a hug, to take the girls when she needed, to give her the support she needs to get through this. She will get through this and she will show her girls that she is strong, brave and full of grace! This is a picture I took of them a few years ago and it is my way of giving her a big hug and to let everyone out there who has been touched by cancer a chance to think of thier loved ones. Nothing puts things into perspetive more than something like this. I wish you Tammy good night sleeps, positivity, love, friendship, strength, warm baths, big laughs and all the joy life can bring! Love you, Stacey

Sorry, I have taken their Christmas card down so it is a surprise for all those who are getting one..... I will repost it after Christmas.

Original entry: "I really want to thank Mom's everywhere for all that they do to get a family picture... it is not easy - it is stressfull and frustrating. When I started my studio pictures I learned very quickly that you can not make a toddler do anything! But when you catch their attention for only a milla second - you have pure photographic heaven. It is not an easy task to get clothes picked out, pack up for the weekend, get up early, get yourself ready, your kids ready, keep them clean, keep their shirts tucked in, keep them happy and get them to the studio to hope that they cooperate. My job is to keep Mom and Dad calm and to entertain the kids enough to get through all our great ideas. I love what I do. Thanks Deana! I am honored that you picked me to capture your wonderful kids for 2009! "
