]]>Free Family Sessions!http://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/10/4/free-family-sessions.htmlStacimikelle2008-10-04T23:28:07Z 

UPDATE!! only two spots left!!

Ok now that I have the Wedding portfolio built up I need to build up a family portfolio.  So I am looking for families to fill 5 spots between now and December.  The session is totally free, and includes the negative files on disk.  Your session will be put on a proofing site, and you are welcome to buy any prints if you like.   As for my Utah peeps, I may be full up on sessions when I am there.  I would like a fall wedding there though.  If anyone knows of someone who needs a wedding Thanksgiving weekend, I would do one there for free too, just to have it in the portfolio.  If anyone is interested in a session e-mail me (press the contact tab above).  Thanks!


]]>Blog Neglecthttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/10/4/blog-neglect.htmlStacimikelle2008-10-04T23:04:40ZPersonalOk I'm sorry I have neglected you blog!  I as such a busy wedding season I am now enjoying my weekends off:)  After all I only get 4 a month.  I am starting to get a yearning to take more photos.....so my next post will be announcing free family sessions.  I have built up a portfolio of weddings this year...but I now need to build up my family portfolio.  So where have I been the last month?  Well Chad and I have been looking at houses we are waiting to hear back on this one http://www.redfin.com/CA/Pasadena/675-E-Howard-St-91104/home/7262382 It is a short sale so it has to be approved by the sellers bank.  We shall see if that happens.  But there are other good ones coming on the market.  Chad's Car broke and had to be fixed.  Then a girl from Washington State decided to run into my car, so it spent a week at a body shop.  I sadly have been caught up in reading the Twilight series....where a high school girl falls in love with a vampire.  Cheesmo, why can't I put it down?  A friend at Disney, said the same thing... what is it about the book...it isn't written well?  My father had his knee replaced.  And I guess all is well because yesterday he was leaving for the elk hunt.  Oh! and I need to announce that my sister in law Jodee had their first baby, Emily Jo.  It will be fun to take pictures of her when we get to Utah.  We will be in Utah from Thanksgiving Day, to that Monday.  Not super long but I'm looking forward to it.  On one last note...I am finally so excited that last night I walked out of work to a chill in the air!  I love autumn!  We really don't get one here.  It has been 100 degrees for the past few days and yesterday it actually was around 65! It was funny to see all the people who had their hands out of their car windows just to feel the chilled air.  Today it Rained!  I love it!  Sorry I don't have pictures on this post, I will have another wedding to post soon enough! 

]]>Familyhttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/9/14/family.htmlStacimikelle2008-09-14T05:56:07ZPhotography PersonalWhen we went back to Utah a few weeks ago, we took some family photos.  They turned out cute....sorry there aren't any serious ones of me and Chad...he likes to be silly.  I guess at least it caught his personality.  I think I'm finally caught up on photo editing! yay!  I hope September will be a quieter month.  I'm ready to stop traveling and stay in one spot.  Anyhow here are the family pics!  hope everyone likes them!























]]>The Happiest Place on Earthhttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/9/11/the-happiest-place-on-earth.htmlStacimikelle2008-09-11T03:38:04ZPersonalI've been busy with business until this afternoon when I took my camera out into Disney World.  It just so happens that we had rain due to the hurricane in the gulf.  I got completely soaked....but at least when its pouring they let you just stay on the Haunted Mansion and ride it over and over again....I got a bit boring after a while though.   Finally I ran back out into the rain and tried to make my way back to my car.  I then got lost on some back road for an hour out in the sticks of florida....it was kinda creepy.  I like florida...but not out where people get eaten by gators!




]]>RD, Lisa, & Alexhttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/9/7/rd-lisa-alex.htmlStacimikelle2008-09-07T04:01:29ZPhotography WeddingAll I can say is that I will totally use this location again!  I didn't even know it was there! I had so much fun with these guys...we didn't have enough time before I went to Canada to hit all the locations we wanted so we finished up a couple of weeks ago with this new shoot.   I loved all of the colors!  R.D. and Lisa just ordered a guestbook with all these pictures in it and I can't wait to see how it turns out.  I will show pictures when it gets here.  I had so many favorites, I thought I'd blog before I head out to Disney World.....We will see if I get caught up in a hurricane!  Should be fun though.  I will blog more from Disney world in the next few days.  Bye for now!
























]]>Finally........http://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/9/6/finally.htmlStacimikelle2008-09-06T18:02:30ZPhotography PersonalWe caught fish!!!!! We have been skunked sooo many times.... even in Canada this year.  Finally on our fishing trip in Utah last week we caught lots of fish!  My niece Mazey came along again and went fishing with her little pink pole. I caught the first ish so the guys said I had to kiss the fish, so I did....it provided a funny picture at my expense...be warned I hadn't put my contacts in, and had no makeup.  When Mazey pulled up a fish we told her she had to kiss the fish.  Her picture kissing the fish is my favorite picture ever!  Other Utah pics will come soon....I've got other client photos to get edited first:)












]]>Vendorshttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/8/26/vendors.htmlStacimikelle2008-08-26T04:23:57ZWeddingSo I thought I'd start a list of wedding vendors,  so that when brides are looking for good vendors to go to I can help them out.  The first one I'm adding to the list is Ryan Southwell Videography.  I had never worked with a videographer before, and Ryan was so nice and made it easy.  I finally got his card at another wedding, and I got to see his work, and it's beautifull!  Anyways, check him out here.  And soon he will be on a little link above.

]]>More Canada....ehhttp://www.stacimikellephotography.com/journal/2008/8/20/more-canadaeh.htmlStacimikelle2008-08-20T03:42:08ZWe just got home today from our Canada trip.  I thought I'd blog the rest of the photos before I head back into the work week.  These are of Watterton National Park, and fishing at Dickson dam north of Calgary.  I wouldn't recommend Dickson dam.  Chad's little sister got a leach on her.  It was gross!  and the water was like swampy and icky.  I have one more post to put up after this one.
