We went to Stacey for our, now 8 year old's, 6 month and one year photos. Of course, they turned out gorgeous. We recently went back to her for our baby's 6 month photos, and will return for his one year session. The canvases are flawless and the photo books are must haves. We didn't have these options seven years ago, but she was gracious enough to offer them to us, as she had kept the files! You can't beat that kind of customer service and passion for their craft. I'll always recommend Lovely Baby Photography.

We had a beautiful experience taking newborn photos with Stacey!! She is SO talented and has all 5-star reviews for a reason! Our newborn photos came out SO CUTE, and I know we will treasure them for a lifetime.
I love the flexibility of choosing some backgrounds/props ahead of time, but I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving her creative freedom to design additional sets. Stacey thought of beautiful layouts, and some of those shots ended up being my favorite!
When the photos came back, all the grandparents were fawning over them. You will not regret investing in her work for your little ones. We are already looking forward to coming back for all of our baby's milestones! Thank… read full review
