Welcome To My Blogsite!

Hello! My name is Stacey Siegal and I am an on-location photographer specializing in lifestyle portraiture for seniors, kids/tweens, couples, and families. Are you planning a vacation on Anna Maria Island or Longboat Key? I am available to capture your moments here in sunny Florida. In addition, I love grandparent|grandchildren sessions - we have such great locations here for the perfect photos that will be amazing keepsakes for you. I strive to give my clients high-end, custom designed presentations of their photographs that represent both personality and personal style. I have an extensive traditional and digital scrapbooking background which allows me to create unique albums that you will find no where else. I am also available for "Girls Day Out" sessions (great for high school seniors wanting memories of their friends before they depart for college!), as well as birthday parties, beach parties, and other events that capture an important day in your life. Please call me at 941-544-2989 to schedule your session or use the contact form on this website.

Baby A | Bradenton-Beaches FL Photographer

Oh my gosh!  This pretty little girl is only six days old and I think she loves how stylish she looks with the pretty headbands.  Unfortunately, little Baby A had to go back to the hospital after the shoot since her bilirubin levels were too high according to a test earlier in the day.  But she certainly took some very sweet photos!

Thank you to the new mom and dad for allowing me into their home to photograph their little baby girl. I hope Baby A is back home again and doing much better!  I’m here if you need anything.

This is a fantastic site – there are weekly challenges, plus lots of great tips and tutorials.

Week 2’s Challenge is “Best Face Photo” but the photo must be from this month or December.  I did a mini-photo shoot with my son in early December, so I thought a photo from that would be ideal – and this is my favorite:

I used a fab texture from Leora Sanford’s Picture This Textures:  Set 2 and a Rusty Nail Action from My Four Hens Photography.

Happy Birthday I Heart Faces!

Well, I made it through my Project 365 for 2009 and have so many photos to look back on as well as to compile in both scrapbook and wall formats.

This is a page that used many photos of my son over the year; by keeping each photo black and white, I maintained a sense of unity and it doesn’t wreak havoc with the various patterned papers.  This perfect template is by the fabulous Dunia Acauan and is available here.

Are these not the most adorable little girls?  The Golden Retrievers wanted nothing to do with me, though lol!

Gorgeous family.  Amazing session.  Thanks, D, T, A, and N!  It didn’t even matter that the weather didn’t cooperate – the soft lighting was perfect!

Here’s a sneak preview for you…….should start loading into your gallery later on this evening.

With the sailing photos done, it was time to move on to some more formal head shots for the yearbook.  This was a perfect setting right on the bay, with the Ringling Bridge in the background.  He was very photogenic once again and I love how the blue in his tie was a perfect match for the blue water.  It was a great shoot in spite of the falling temperatures and the strong wind coming off the bay!

Talk about a talented sailor.  This senior has been perfecting his craft since he was a child, and his passion and dedication have paid off.  He did an awesome job with the various maneuvers and he is definitely a photogenic guy and I really want to thank him for the great work and his time.
