Baby it’s Cold Outside

Say hello to Mr. Bradey, or “baby brother” as he’s known in the family. I’ve been working with Leslie and Matt since Connor “big brother” was about this size. Every few months we meet to do a session, and these kids just keep getting cuter. We’ve worked at the old studio in Mt. Pleasant, in Rock Creek Park, at the Lincoln Memorial, and now…

Lovely Black and White.

Loved working with Tobie and her family. She comes to me from Allan Woods Flowers, a corporate client of mine, but on this occasion we worked on a personal level – so lovely.        

Sweet Peas

I love working with the Lull family – their little boys are so, so sweet. This newborn session we did at their home (on their dining room table :).      

Pop Songs and Photo Shoots

One of my regular family clients came to me with a unique request: “our 10 year old daughter wants to have a fashion shoot birthday party. I was wondering if you would be willing to be the photographer?” We talked about a plan, and arranged for me to come by with a backdrop and lights on Sunday night. When I arrived, it was like…

Fun in the Park!

At the glorious Brookside Gardens here in Silver Spring, I met up with Mike, Sara and kiddos Kieran and Devon to capture their family in action. Let me first post a disclaimer here that these are images from the fall. I’m super behind on posting images from my sessions, and haven’t come close to getting all (I’d say not even 5%) of my shoots…

Prayers for little C

*at the request of the parents, I’m using initials to identify them in this post* C is a desperately wanted little girl. When J and I met to discuss photography late in her second trimester, she was glowing. She and S had met, found a partner in each other, and recently married. S brought C, his son, into the relationship and an instant family…

The Greatest Gig

Today is the day. My birthday, of sorts. Today is the day that I launched my business, Stacey Vaeth Photography. Four years ago, I held a little party with 80 close friends, supporters, family, and strangers. My mom and Aunt Karen cut cheese blocks into little cubes with the only knives I had in the house – butter knives. (don’t ask – we’re better…

Wall Portraits are Here!

There is nothing that’s more satisfying for me than having a client place a really great wall art order.These three from Lynn and Duane’s e-session just came in and I couldn’t be more excited to deliver them. We looked at photos of their home, and found a spot on their stairwell hallway in need of some pieces. These custom float mounts should look awesome….

Courtney and Sara Fall Mini Session

Friends Courtney and Sara pulled together this fun fall mini session in Rock Creek Park. Love these kids, and to see how they have grown since the first time I worked with them (which I think was three years ago?!)  Best Friends

The Whittaker Family

Another fall family session with an alumni family! Working with the Whittakers is always a blast, and so fun to see how the kids are growing. Kim took my photo classes this summer, and has a great eye. But as all shooters know, it’s important to have someone else take your picture once in a while, so you’ll be in some of them! I…
