And who doesn’t want to see cutie pie Clyde in a bow tie?

I swoon for baby cowboy boots!

Morgan, you are so gorgeous…I love this image:

And not long after out maternity shoot, Jackson made his appearance into the world! What a handsome cowboy:

I still can’t believe this sweet smile…it makes my heart skip a beat. Hello, baby fever!

Congratulations, Morgan and Jack! I am so honored to be your photographer and to watch Jackson grow this year…he is absolutely perfect in every way. I couldn’t be happier for you!
Love,
Stacy

Fort Myers Photographer, Set Free Photography http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/welcome-to-the-world-sweet-baby-cash-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/ http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/welcome-to-the-world-sweet-baby-cash-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/#comments Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:48:45 +0000 stacy http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/?p=3203 What an amazing experience it was to hold and photograph baby Cash, who is quite possibly the MOST adored child on the earth! Pam and Jim, I am ecstatic for you!

We found this palm tree stump on the side of the road (read: it was heavy!) and after it dried out, we scraped out the middle and nestled a blanket inside for the perfect little sleepy hollow:

This is perfection, in all of about 8 pounds:

This chair is a piece of my new living room and I decided that Cash belonged on it for a picture. It was risky, but he can be trusted without a diaper!

In keeping with tradition, we photographed Cash on his Pam’s mink, just as she was photographed on her mother’s mink as a newborn.

I can never get enough of newborns! Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

Jim & Pam:
Thank you for the opportunity to photograph baby Cash and for all of the snuggles and kisses that you let me pour out all over him. I will always remember the day that you told me Cash was on his way, and I have never been happier for two of my treasured friends. I love your family and am so happy to be a part of your lives. Congratulations again!
Love,
Stacy

Fort Myers Photographer, Set Free Photography http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/eye-candy-albums-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/ http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/eye-candy-albums-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:07:29 +0000 stacy http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/?p=3177 Good morning! Today, I am sharing some of our beautiful products with you in the form of wedding albums. I love love love the satisfaction of holding a beautiful album in my hand and carefully turning each page…the feel of the paper, the moments relived, the smell of leather…it is transcendent. I have two styles to share today: first up, our custom photo cover book featuring Jen and Brian. When they chose their cover image, I did a very rambunctious happy dance!

And the timeless leather cover book featuring Lisa & Carlos…I am in love with these thick, rounded pages, and the library book spine. My favorite thing about this specific leather choice is that no book will ever look the same, as it will take on it’s own character due it’s hand finished aging technique.

I hope your eyes have enjoyed perusing the beauty of hand-crafted, finished artwork. Thank you for stopping by!
Love,
Stacy

Naples Wedding Photographer, Set Free Photography http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/allison-jake-fun-with-smores-naples-wedding-photographer-set-free-photography/ http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/allison-jake-fun-with-smores-naples-wedding-photographer-set-free-photography/#comments Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:19:21 +0000 stacy http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/?p=3160 I felt like I walked into a dream when Allison and Jake met me for their engagement shoot and I saw their utterly fabulous set up. Allison’s Mom, Brenda knew that the couple loves to enjoy s’mores together…so she set up a picnic for them incorporating all of the s’more elements, and to top it all off, she hand-carved a tree stump with their names on it. She carved it herself! I marvel at her vision and dedication to making such an amazing scene come to life with the joy and love shared by Allison and Jake. I’m kinda speechless.

They thought of everything…they even made the roasting sticks fabulous!

Even the matches were adorable…swoon.

The chemistry between these two is so sweet…their love is full of joy, and is felt by everyone in their presence. I can’t wait for the wedding!

Jake and Allison: You are adorable and so in love…you just completely belong together! I had the most fun photographing you two.

Brenda hand-carved this, too…such impressive handiwork!

Allison & Jake:
I am counting down the days until your wedding–I can’t wait to photograph you again! Thank you allowing me to capture sweet romance and for loving s’mores!
Love,
Stacy

You might remember when Piper was born…or, maybe when she fell asleep on my red suitcase…time really flies! Today, I am so happy to bring you a little glimpse into Piper’s world. Her Mama, Georgia is my soul sister in the way of fashion AND decor…the way she has decorated Piper’s room has inspired this detail-orientated post. Enjoy!

You might recognize the belly picture on Piper’s cork board from this session!

Georgia, Kyle & Piper: you are so lovely! Thank you for welcoming me into your home to capture these images. You have stolen my heart!
Love,

I love this ruffly outfit!

Quinn is a mover and a shaker…with two older brothers, she has caught on quickly! She is super fast, and super tough–little stumbles don’t slow her down for a second.

Jen brought these lanterns along and I loved how they looked in the tree! Jen, I love your vision for this!

Happy girl!

She found the lanterns:

Happy Birthday, baby! I love watching you grow and I am so thankful to be a part of your every day life!

Actually, for over half a year…eek! My talented friend, Alex asked my daughter what type of cake she would like for her birthday (unbeknownst to me!) and Alex delivered. By that, I mean: she totally and completely rocked the “purple tie die peace sign” request. Complete with luster dust! Wow, I am in awe of Alex’s mad baking and decorating skills. And Trinity was beyond thrilled with her cake. She still talks about it!

Alex did the honors and cut the cake for Trinity. It was every bit of de-licious! I couldn’t get over how yummy it tasted…

Thank you, Alex for blessing Trinity with your amazing cake. She is forever grateful and felt so very special to have the exact cake that she envisioned for her birthday.

The best news is yet to come: Alex is available for custom cake orders! You can contact her via phone: 239-910-5073, or email: alexandrascarsella@hotmail.com. She makes awesome cakes for all occasions and will completely blow your mind with her creativity!

Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

I was really excited to work with Piper’s super savvy Mama on creating a coordinated collection with her maternity photos and Piper’s newborn photos. It all started with Piper’s baby announcement, and from there we stayed consistent with the cover design to match her album design and mini accordion books as well. It’s all fabulous!

Here is the front of the announcement, and the mini accordion books:

Next, the awesome album, which combined maternity and newborn photos:

The album is beautifully and simply designed with double page spreads and thick, rigid pages:

And the icing on the cake: a beautiful Organic Bloom frame for above Piper’s crib:

You will see Piper on the blog again in a few months as we will shoot her 6, 9, and 12 month photos and combine her first year into an album. Stay posted!

About that amazing frame: We are proud to be an Organic Bloom vendor, and are happy to provide more information on the available frames. Email Stacy: stacy@setfreephotography.com for a list of sizes, colors and prices. Check them out on facebook, too!

Piper & Georgia: you know I love you, you two fabulous fashionistas!
Love,
Stacy
