Happy New Year! Well, I snuck out of hibernation for this special shoot. I've known Audrey nearly 4 years now thanks to The Bar Method (she co-owns the Walnut Creek and San Ramon studios). She's been a great supporter of my photography and a woman I find inspiring for her fitness and business savvy . I'm lucky to have her friendship.

Baby girl "A" came 5-weeks early! An early Christmas present for Mom and Dad. Baby "A" entered this world into anxious, joyful arms, and is surrounded by love and admiration. I had the pleasure of photographing her at the ripe old age of five weeks. :) (Coincidentally, I took the photos on her actually due date!) And guess where Baby "A"’s favorite place to be is?? Yes, in the arms of Mommy or Daddy!

Audrey & Justin, I am so happy for you! I can't wait to take more and more photos of your growing family! xo, Stacey

Bath time!

This is a special heirloom of Audrey's family. Her father had this toy dragon when he was a child, and it has since been passed on to Audrey and Baby "A."

And what would a "M" family post be without a pic of Simon. I have to say, I got a ton of fun photos of Simon. I could've done a whole post on Simon playing chase and resting under his favorite tree--(how cool would it be to have that tree in your backyard?)
