i got interested in photography because.....
it's a burning passion for me. i have had a camera since forever but
i got my real film SLR camera when i was 17. i took a lot of classes,
but when i took my classes at International Center of Photography in
NYC, that was when the fire really started to burn. i continue to take
classes and workshops around the country and work with my mentors. i
will never stop learning my craft. you know you are passionate about
something when it's all you think about. it fills my every thought.
that is how i feel about photography.
describe your family
i've been married to Brad for 8 years. we have five-year-old
boy/girl twins. we have a crazy house that's full of life - in a lot of ways. no matter how crazy things can get, there is a lot of love in the house. i am blessed every day.
if i could photograph any person, dead or alive, it would be....
my grandfather, linwood seeley. he died when i was two. he was only
52. i never got a chance to know him, but i know how much my dad loved
and adored him. and to photograph the love between my dad and his dad
would have been priceless.
the best pizza on the planet is....
patsy's pizza in spanish harlem in NYC - 118th street & 1st avenue.
my favorite girl scout cookie is.....
is there one??? all right. if i must choose one, it would be thin mints.
my favorite TV show at the moment....
Real Housewives of NYC or Orange County. what a train wreck!! love it!
i love.....
being in maine at the lake, going for a run, the movies, the sweet
sound of our kids playing (when they're not fighting), the smell of my
mom's apple pie (and eating it!), cotton candy and my girlfriends.
i can't wait to learn more about you and your family and capture some of your favorite memories through photography.

March 15, 2010 - 2:56 pm - I love this picture
March 15, 2010 - 3:10 pm - Awesome!! :D Beautiful baby.
March 15, 2010 - 11:57 pm - Stacy, these photos are just stunning! I love the b&w's. Beautiful work!
March 16, 2010 - 12:24 pm - Stacy, thanks so much. We're thrilled with the pictures (of course)!
i’m sorry i’ve ignored you little blog (hi meg - told you i’d post today). i’ve been a busy girl and have tons of excuses. first off, it’s been snowing in NYC, a lot. it never freakin’ stops. i’ve also been redoing my business model - ugh. not my idea of a fun time but it had to be done.
if you were ever interested in booking a session, do it now! may is already booking up fast. i’m limiting time when i shoot this year. i want to spend more time with my family. my daughter said to me “you’re always working”. ouch! so i’m scaling back just a bit.
but with all the work that i’ve been doing as far as my business goes, we’ve been having fun. last friday it snowed, again!! we got about a foot of snow and took the kids sledding on saturday. my daughter wouldn’t go down the hill alone for most of the day. finally, on the last few runs - she went by herself. the first run was fun. she sailed down the hill and laughed the entire way. the second run, she hit the small jump that a few kids had made. and hit it she did!! nailed it. of course i was there to capture it. when she landed and wiped out, she cried and said, “i want to go home now”. so we did and hot chocolate with whipped cream. it makes everyone feel just a little bit better.
and before you say anything or email me - it was warm (45 degrees) which is why she wasn’t wearing mittens. no one was wearing jackets and it took all i could do for her just to wear her hat.

March 4, 2010 - 10:16 pm - Stacy, welcome back, so glad to see you back up and running! Keeping it all balanced is important and maybe this speed is where it'll be for now. Your #1 Fan, Meg
March 15, 2010 - 4:47 pm - Stac, where are Lindsey's mittens? LOL
i can’t resist a good sunset. i can’t!!! we were in NYC today - dreary, cold and miserable. and then this happened.

ahhhhh

February 8, 2010 - 11:10 am - ha ha! I JUST posted a sunset pic... from the north to the south sunsets I guess.... Hope you are great! I am catching up on all 'the me ra workshop' friends blogs!!
February 27, 2010 - 10:52 am - This is absolutely beautiful!!!!
yup i have twins. and it seems that i only blog about my daughter because she’s the tough one. she gives me a real run for my money. so i thought i would post something about my son. he is such a sweet boy but still a boy. he wants to rough house, wants to play legos forever, wants to climb, jump, run but he also wants his momma. sometimes he’ll come up to me and say “mom, you look pretty”, even though i’ve just rolled out of bed - hello! we all know that ain’t pretty!!!!! i know his words come from a sincere place in his heart. to him, no matter what i look like, no matter what i act like, i’ll always be his momma and that makes me feel special every single day.
love you buddy!

January 25, 2010 - 5:18 pm - I am not sure but I think he gets that from his uncle. Love ya
February 8, 2010 - 10:23 am - Stacy he sounds so sweet! Too bad we are no longer in the Tri State area...your little guy could rough house with my boys!
February 26, 2010 - 12:40 pm - He's so cute, Stacy! :)
people always say to me, “you must have a thousand pictures of your kids”. well, yes and no. i do because i use my kids. i use them when i’m taking a photography class, to hone my skills, to try out a different technique because i CAN!! i’m taking a class at the moment and caught this picture of my daughter. she wasn’t happy that i was using her. but when you say to a kid, “if you ever want to see the light of day, you’ll sit down”. and so….she sat and this is what i got back.

January 19, 2010 - 11:37 pm - haha, that is so funny. Yes, it always amazes me the patience we have with our clients kids, but our own... forget about it! Photographers kids, you gotta love them!
February 8, 2010 - 11:11 am - I love it... these posts about your kids hit home with me! :) this picture is gorgeous!
March 6, 2010 - 2:55 pm - Hi mini-Stacy, you sure are beautiful!
this little girl was born right before christmas - what a wonderful present if you ask me. she was so precious, adorable, sweet - i wanted to put her in my pocket and take her home. but i think mom would have wrestled me at the door. here are a few sneak peaks from the session.
katie, thank you for opening up for your home to me - you have such a wonderful family.


big brother L - the sweetest boy ever!! oh how he loves his new sister. he kept saying “HODE HER!!!” cute huh??


katie - you are such an amazing mom.
