With the recent loss of a dear friend, I am reminded again that LIFE IS SHORT.  In some cases, too short.

I am so thankful for the people I have in my life, friends, family and even the acquaintances.

Another reminder from losing my friend, is the importance of family photos.  I know, you can say, "Sure, Stacie, you say that because you're a photographer, but really?"

YES REALLY!!!  Photographer or not.  Photos are the ONE thing that can spark your memories, transport you to the exact time the photo was taken.  Photos are to be cherished.  

My vow is to have a professional picture taken of me and kids each year.  I do.  

Enough of my blabbering. ;)

Let me share with you a recent family photo shoot.  It is MY GREAT PLEASURE to present to you...

The Palko/Cole family.

Love makes a family.
