I was so honored to have the opportunity to photograph Stacie who is one of the most beautiful, gentle and sweet ladies I know. Whenever I am with her I feel a since of calmness and always enjoy our time with one another. I’m thrilled to have captured these very special moments for Stacie as we know life goes by so quickly. Stacie was actually one week overdue when we were photographing and I was praying we would not be calling 911 during her session. I brought her to a very special place where she would be relaxed and be able to hear the sounds of nature all around. She was in love, as was I.

Stacie is also my makeup artist and one of the finest makeup artists in the Hartford area and takes care of my gals for their senior portraits. Stacie works for  Transcendent and you can follow them on Facebook. Stacie was blessed with her precious little daughter Aubrie Grace 48 hours after her maternity session. Now that’s close! I was so excited to be able to hold Aubrie and photograph her as well.

Here are some of my favorite images from our time together. Thank you again Stacie for trusting me to capture this beautiful time in your life.

Enjoy!  xoxo Catherine
