• Oh my goodness! I don’t often share features on my feed, but with this one I just have to. For years now I’ve been following @thefountcollective and have always loved the fine art images they share and the fearless way they celebrate family + motherhood. At the very beginning of my career, I met @tiffanylfarley farley, the founder of this amazing publication, within a Christian photographers group when she was just starting out too. Since then I’ve watched her grow her business, hired her for our own family pictures, and cheered from the sidelines as she built The Fount Collective into the amazing, world renowned brand it is today. Knowing who she is personally makes me feel even more honored to have had this beautiful beach family session featured on their blog! If you want the best fine art family inspiration + a community for mothers for to connect, I encourage you to explore Tiffany’s feed and the Fount Collective blog.

  • We are headed out to Charlottesville Virginia today to photograph our third to the last wedding wedding for this year. I can’t believe we have gotten through this season of 35 weddings with so much less stress than past seasons where I had only have of the weddings I had this year. That is definitely is all because of my amazing team: My hubby, Meg, and my editor Katie.

  • When she first contacted me she told me she loved my work, but that my mention of wine + charcuterie all over my site closed the deal for her. And that line made my heart skip a beat. I knew immediately we were going to be friends, and I knew instantly she was a perfect #SHPBRIDE. That, my friends, is how I know my brand is working. It's kind of silly, but it took me a long time to realize a brand can involve something so trivial such as wine + cheese, and a mutual love of olive those whitty and cheesy puns out there. 😜🧀 As I wrapped up this engagement session and shared some great conversation with these totally rad human beings, over a glass of Pinot, my quality time love language tank was being filled to the brim. My business has never been transactional for me, it has always been about the relationships, but I struggled for the first couple years defining what that was to me, and how to make that connection with my clients. This couple right here... they get me, and I get them. If you are a small business owner and you struggle with where to start your brand, start with what makes your heart sing, and what you talk about the most. For me, it's quality conversation over a glass of wine and charcuterie. And because all of that is so very important to my brand, we have decided to make cheese and charcuterie even bigger for our business. I can't tell you all the details, but let's just say next year will be betta than feta.

  • I was having a conversation with a friend this weekend while I was in Tampa and we were talking about the importance of dreaming big. I was casually mentioning to her the dreams I have for my business and my family, and as I was speaking about them those dreams suddenly began to feel too big. I started justifying all of it, “I probably won’t make all of that happen…” And before I could go on she said, “Nope, you can totally do all of that. You just have to visualize and declare what you want, and you will get it. “ I smiled and politely agreed, but internally I was telling myself “Yeah, right! It’s not that easy.” And then as I was driving around with her amongst the Palm trees and Spanish moss covered trees, a switch flipped in my heart. I AM doing it, Stacy!! I have always wanted to travel for my business and this year I traveled to Italy, California, Florida, and Massachusetts for it. I have always wanted this business to grow enough to fully sustain our family’s lifestyle, and that is exactly what we are doing. I have always wanted to have a platform to speak truth about biblical marriage, gospel parenting, and faith topics, and now I have a podcast. So why on Earth do I doubt those other dreams I have? So here is my daily reminder for me, and all of you: God doesn’t put our dreams in a box, we do! God doesn’t give us our callings and passions with parameters because we aren’t good enough...we put those limits there. God uses all kinds of people in all walks of life for His will. And most often he uses the people who are seemingly unequipped to do His work. For this girl that’s a hot mess momma who loves entrepreneurship, her family, and her faith. So, how about we all become a little less focused on what we’re not doing so we don’t ignore all the work He already has equipped us to do. And, a friendly reminder that if you have friends who support and encourage your dreams, you should definitely keep them around. . . . . . . #traveltuesday #wandermore #travelready #traveltagged #travelflorida #staysaltyflorida #roamflorida #pureflorida #entreprenuerlife #goalsetting #dreambigtravelmore #dreambigneverquit

  • We are on our way back home from a short weekend getaway/work trip with my best girl,#sweetaddisynfaith in Florida.

  • “Through it all, my eyes are you. Through it all, it is well. Let go my soul, and trust in Him. The waves and wind still know His name...It is well with my soul” This song is one of my favorites, and also the one that convicts me the most in my worship and my spirituality. I often sing with outstretched arms and with tears in my eyes, more for the desire to want to actually believe in the words and not because I get them. I want to feel that it IS well, and some days I listen to this song (like today) and it doesn’t feel like it is well. My desire to trust in Him is present. But, the truth is I don’t know how to let go and live *in* that desire. How can I believe in His promises when it seems the world around me is crumbling? How can I feel His presence, when it feels like I’m doing it alone? I was chatting with two friends this week at separate times. Both of which have carried more grief than I ever thought I would see in a lifetime. We shared some thoughts about gratefulness. They desire to feel that “it is well” just as much as me. And so these past few weeks we’ve been writing down daily gifts that God has given us. But the past two days, it’s been tough for me. My mind is occupied with all the “wish I could be...” thoughts and not living in the blessings I’ve been given. I know I have also been distracted with work and business so I’m going to start tonight with being more present. This probably isn’t the most business savvy thing to do, especially after launching my mini session marathon, but for the weekends I’m going to start checking out from social media. Be still and reconnect with Him. Starting tonight! I hope you all have a happy weekend friends, I’ll see you on the flip-side. #presentoverperfect #virtuouswoman #proverbs31woman #lampandlight #weekendvibes #weekendmotivation #itiswellwithmysoul

  • I put my feelers out yesterday to see if anyone would be interested in mini sessions on December 1st and the response has been an overwhelming yes! I'm so excited to share that I'm moving forward with this plan and will be hosting a mega-mini session marathon with myself + two associate photographers working to photograph all the interested families + couples. We'll be announcing the details soon (there will be 3 different locations available - say what?!), but in the meantime please take a look at this recent mini session of the stunning Autumn + her littles to get inspired for your own. I just loved their style, the laughs, and that light. Raise your hand if this has you so excited to book your own mini! The details will be sent to SHP newsletter subscribers first, so make sure you're signed up (p.s.-there's a direct link at the end of this blog so go find it.) tag a friend who wound be interested!

  • I’ve always loved the rich and deep tones of film, but never guessed I would look into my viewfinder and get transported back into time.. It’s different than digital. It’s purposeful and rich, and it’s slow and well composed.
