Each year, I look forward to seeing the dress that Morgan will wear–her Mom, Missy has impeccable style and taste. This year was my favorite! Morgan, you look fabulous!

Missy decorated their home herself–and left me in awe of her design and color selections.

This is my favorite picture…I love how Morgan’s Dad, Pat is looking at her with such adoration:

There were treasures to behold everywhere–but none as precious as Morgan’s smiling face!

What better place to play than on Mommy & Daddy’s bed!?

I am still swooning over Morgan’s expression here…she rocks the serious face. And of course, the wallpaper, chair & chandelier are to die for!

Off to Morgan’s playroom, which is every little girl’s dream, complete with lots of pink, feathers, and a cozy chair for reading:

Finally, we ended up in Morgan’s room, where she rested in the most comfy place there is: Mommy’s lap:

Pat, Missy & Morgan:
Thank you for inviting me to your home and for the opportunity to capture these memories for you. I had so much fun with you, and as I type this Brandon is off buying speaker wire for Sonos — he really is! Thank you for the inspiration and for being completely, utterly, stunningly fabulous!
Love,

We started out with the Q & A:

Fans wrote questions out on cards and the band members took turns answering them. And that was when I realized that these guys were so amazingly down to earth and easy to be around!

Then it was time for the Meet and Greet–check out our friend, Shavon get excited about meeting the members of Third Day! Shavon, we love you!

Next, we had a little fun with Jeff Taylor’s cardboard cut out at the 88.7 WAY-FM table:

And my best girls hung out with Joy’s cardboard cut out:

Jeff and Joy signed photos and greeted their fans…I’m a FAN! I love you guys!

Trevor Morgan hits the stage:

Followed by Tenth Avenue North…here is lead singer, Mike Donehey, rocking out amidst the smoke:

More of Tenth Avenue North: Jason Jamison on drums and Jeff Owen on electrical guitar

And Third Day takes the stage!

A fan grabs a pic of lead singer, Mac Powell:

I grab one, too:

Here we have Mark Lee on lead guitar and David Carr on drums:

I just love this shot…I love those hands clapping from the audience and the silhouette of Tai Anderson on bass…I can almost hear the screaming fans when I see this!

Jason Hoard and Third Day’s Tai Anderson:

Thank you for checking out the blog today! If you didn’t make it to the show, I hope these images helped bring a little of it to you.

Love,
Stacy & Brandon

The breathtaking, custom tailored Maggie Sottero gown came from the super fabulous Lace & Roses Bridal:

Gorgeous bouquets, from the talented Fort Myers Florist:

Lisa, you are gorgeous. Breathtaking doesn’t even cut it…more like pulse-stopping!

Miromar Lakes Beach & Club offered amazing photography backdrops every where we turned:

Lisa and Carlos elected to have an intimate “reveal” and shoot all of these fabulous portraits before the ceremony…it was my dream come true to have time with these two without strict time constraints. The results are everything I envisioned.

If you have been to Miromar, you might recognize these fabulous doors:

The guests enjoyed a surprise champagne reception as Lisa and Carlos hid away before the ceremony…so I ran off with the wedding rings and snapped a few more pictures:

Lisa and Carlos purchased their rings from the one and only Diamond District!

And one more shot of the bride and the groom while they waited to walk to the ceremony:

The reception site was elegant and intimate:

Vanderbilt Strings played beautifully!

Lisa’s daughters, Racheal & Danielle are so sweet as they watch their Mom walk down the aisle:

The ceremony was emotional and heartfelt…I couldn’t look at Brandon or I would burst into tears of joy!

Immediately following the ceremony, Lisa and Carlos shared a moment…I will never forget this passion:

The bridal party…I love the best man, Joe’s genuine smile and affection for Carlos!

Usually I can’t commit, but I am almost 100% sure that this is my favorite image from the entire day:

A few hors d’oeuvres, dinner & Lisa’s specialty cocktail:

The reception room took my breath away:

Spectacular detail on the cake, by Ella’s Cakes:

A little dancing:

A peek from the outside looking in:

More dancing:

And they lived happily ever after.

Lisa and Carlos: Brandon and I are touched and refreshed by the love that we felt on your wedding day. We are honored to have been able to capture these moments for you and hope that they will bring you an infinite source of joy as you spend the rest of your lives together. Thank you for inviting us to be in the presence of true love.
Much love and affection,
Stacy & Brandon

ps. here is a look behind the scenes…Brandon takes random pics of me working, which I actually find endlessly entertaining. I didn’t realize how much I talk with my hands…

And a few shots for their Christmas card:

Miss Ava rocked the Matilda Jane outfit. And can I ask: Ava, will you teach my subjects how to pose? The way you pose for pictures is exquisite! Effortless! I need this 3 year old to come on all of my sessions with me!

And finally…another one of my newborns has turned one…baby Brooks. Happy Birthday to the smiliest, happiest baby I have ever met in my whole entire 30something years of life. I have never. seen. so. many. smiles.

And for the walls of this beautiful family’s home:

Here’s those images, nice and close up…they are just so fabulous!

Thank you S family, you are so very blessed and are a blessing to me! Happy 1st birthday to Brooks…he makes me giggle with all of his cuteness!
Love, Stacy

I love that her Mom brought pearls in for Brooke to play with…they were perfect!

I still think it is delightful when kiddos learn how to clap:

And who can resist a tutu crawling away from the camera? Not me!

Boe is the sweetest big brother I’ve seen:

He adores his sister, and she adores him!

And these two. Wow, can you feel the heat (fanning myself)…yep, they still got it! Love you guys together!

Thank you, gorgeous R family for hanging out with me! You are such a special family, I hope you have enjoyed your sneak peek!
Love, Stacy

First, we stopped at the train tracks.

Then, after a quick wardrobe change, we wandered around the downtown shops in Hinsdale.

While we were walking, I spotted the GAP on the corner, in this historic building. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE the Gap? I’ve never seen a prettier one!

Another wardrobe change…Avalon…you rocked this dress and you are stunning!

Then we stopped at a park that Avalon visits a lot, and she hopped on the swing (she is super cute!):

A wish for the future:

Avalon: Thank you for an amazing session, your beauty, charm and grace are so evident in these pictures. I wish you success and adventure in college…and I hope to keep up with you (Mrs. Smartypants!).

Cathleen: Thank you for this opportunity and for sewing my button back on! I think of you everytime I look at my jacket.

Lots of Love and Affection,
Stacy
