Stacee.Lianna.Photography.

The last few weeks have been an absolute blur. Traveling, a wedding, looots of picture taking, coming home to catch up on work and editing, taking *tons* more pictures, and then this week I spent an absolutely fantastic time at EscalateLIVE and with Elisabeth Carol taking even more pictures. I have so many blog posts to come!

But those are future blog posts, this blog post however is quite important in itself. First of all, it features an aboslutely fantastic couple that I met while I was in North Dakota. I smiled the entire time we walked the alleyways of Ellendale. These two LOVE to laugh, like serious faces were almost impossible. I *LOVE* laughing! Mindi and William thank you SO much for spending time with me and allowing me to photograph your smiles and laughs. I had so much fun with you both!

Second, this very post marks my 100th blog post. To me, that's kind of a big deal. A huge deal actually! In February this year I was booked for a wedding in North Dakota. On May 7th 2010 I crossed off number 43 on my 101 Things in 1001 Days list. That's also kind of a big deal to me. So, to celebrate these two monumental moments in my life I want to do something fun and exciting. Comment this post before June 3rd with something monumental you'd like to accomplish in the next 1001 days or just in general and I'll randomly select some one, some couple, or some family to win a FREE Photo Session! You must be willing to have your session in Southern California [unless you're willing to pay for a plane ticket, I do enjoy airplanes ;]] and your session must take place before July 31st 2010. Happy commenting!

LOVE this one!

Brandon said...:: As far as dreams and goals are concerned I really only have one big main dream. this may sound silly but when I was younger (even to this day) I've always wanted to be a father. that's the one thing I knew I wanted to be when I grew up. to this day it's still all I truly want to be. it's a passionate dream of mine. I want a family of my own and kids to love on. I'm not sure if I'll be a good dad or if I'll even know how to be a dad but I've always wanted to be one. After my own dad walked out that dream of mine only became a stronger dream and desire. I want to prove to myself and to the world that families can stick together I want to prove to myself that I will make the right choices as a father. this may sound crazy but I'm already so in love with my future children.; May 23, 2010 at 8:33 PM
Danielle Nicole said...:: Ok, so my ultimate goal exceeds the 1001 day limit, but realizing this goal was on my day zero list, and it was only after being completely 100 with my self that I came to achieve this item on my list.
My entire life I knew I wanted to work with kids. I always assumed I would pursue a career in Child Development. Growing up, my choice in career slightly changed, but the focal point remained the same. I started out with a desire to be a kindergarten teacher, I then switched to wanting to teach preschool, then I decided I didn’t want to teach anything, and I just wanted to be an assistant in a daycare center, and for the past 2ish years I decided I didn’t want any of that, I didn’t know what I wanted, but none of those seemed to fit my desire anymore. I knew I wanted to direct children in some way, teach them things, watch them grow, but I was just lost as to how I wanted to do this. I began to subconsciously lie to myself, saying maybe working with kids wasn’t really what I wanted. But in the past few months I realize what it is I am really called to do. I long to marry a loving man, build a family with him, and be that guide, that teacher, helper and caregiver to them. I realized that I don’t have to be in the “work force” to have a career with children. I realized I am called to a career with my future family. I dream of a beautiful marriage with an amazing man, I dream of wonderful children for us to love, I realize my passion in life is to be the best wife I can be, and to care for the amazing children I know God will bless me with. <3

Candice said...:: One of my goals for the next 1001 days is to run an entire 5k. I will be training for it starting this week... all through the summer. I'm signing up for the 5k on Sept. 4th in order to motivate myself!; May 23, 2010 at 9:45 PM
Unknown said...:: Your artistic abilities never cease to amaze me. I love you soooo much <3; May 24, 2010 at 12:52 AM
ejd said...:: Love the pictures.. as always :)

My goal other than to finish my list.. is to start my own business with Vilma. It'll be in the area of party planning/ decorations/ catering... my demographic (is that the word i want?) being moms who want to have nice fun kid parties but are on a budget or dont have the time to sit and think about the details.

that's basically it :); May 24, 2010 at 9:25 PM
Katelynn Meredith said...:: Ok so Ive been sitting here for the past few days wanting to comment on this blog, trying to figure out something great I wanted to accomplish and I really was having a hard time and then it came to me... A lot of people go through life already knowing what they want to do with their life, they have picked some kind of career or passion to follow through with once they graduate and move on to college. I went through them all, nurse, doctor, firefighter, vet, movie star, singer, astronaut,social worker, teacher, then nurse again, and now a new spiked interest in makeup. I have never settled into 1 thing for too long and pretty much have avoided all the major specific college classes until this point. So here i am now, going on 20 years old, with mostly all my general ed classes done and still no motivation towards any degree or career in particular. Im at a crossroads right now, stay at harbor and attempt to go into the nursing program and get a pretty decent and stable job afterward or try and pursue the whole makeup world and attend fidm (for 24,000 in tuition a year i might add!) and possibly waste all that money and not be succesful. Or what if after everything I realize I dont want to do nursing or makeup or anything close to it! So in the next 1001 days I dont wish for a lot things, I dont really need to be rich or famous, its ok if i havent met the man of my dreams or moved out on my own (but that would be totally awesome!), I dont even necesicarly expect to be completely graduated and succesful in my chosen career, I really just want to figure out what the heck I want to do in my life and know with total confidence that I am meant to do that job! Thats all I really ask for and hope to accomplish!

PS: I love you stacee! Your pictures are amazing! but not as amazing as you!; May 29, 2010 at 12:05 AM
