If you ask around to very many people in town…inevitably you’ll find SOMEONE that I’m related to. I have a pretty big extended family, and even if it’s someone that I’m related to only through marriage, or down the line 4 or 5 generations, they’re still considered cousins to me and my family. In Cherissa’s case, however, we are 1st cousins-as our mom’s are sisters.
I can’t believe she has a family of her very own. I swear it was just yesterday that we were kids playing out in the play house together, at the neighbor’s house bugging them, or running around her house as I accidentally jabbed my other cousin in the neck with the end of a play rifle as he came around the corner….YEAH, OOPS–sorry Jason 
This is their new little addition…idn’t he cute!
This is proud Grandma
CONGRATS YOU GUYS!!
I know I say on here many times that my clients are “a blast to work with”…and that’s the truth. I think all my clients are fabulous, and a lot of fun! But while all 0f my clients are fun to work with, it’s always such a pleasure when one of my brides truely becomes one of my friends. This is what has happened between me and Annie.
It was FREEZING the day we did Annie’s bridal pictures, and she was a trooper! We did SO good in the riverbed not getting her gorgeous dress dirty, then when we got to the farm and started with the pictures with Birch’s truck…we got GREASE on it!!! Thank goodness for wonderful cleaners that can work magic!
It was important to Annie & Birch to have a few pictures with his truck—it has A LOT to do with how they met
Birch called while we were up the canyon doing Annie’s bridals to let us know that the truck was parked and ready and asked for some of just the truck–I was happy to do that with such an awesome truck….
Thanks so much Annie & our helpers (her wonderful mom, sister & friend) along with Birch to make this shoot happen!!
I just HAD to put a sneek peek up of Shay & Jake’s wedding from last weekend that I shot with Jessica Jolley Green—-and we’ve decided we have WAY too much fun together!!!
Rafaela and Curtis have been so much fun to work with, and I’m sad that this will be the last post for their wedding….but they won’t be gone from this blog for long–they have an exciting addition coming now and we have already booked a shoot for them this month. Rafaela was a BEAUTIFUL bride, and Curtis was handsome as well. They are a beautiful couple–and now that they are expecting I can only imagine how beautiful that baby will be.
I loved the details for this wedding: simple, elegant & classic–which describes the bride perfectly. Rafaela’s family is from equador and a family friend had HUNDREDS of white roses shipped in for the reception. Rafaela’s beautiful mom also foud a few champagne buckets to use as vases for an elegant and romantic touch–I loved this detail, and Rafaela being the sweety she is sent one home with me and my second shooter Meegan. I also fell in love with Rafaela’s dress, and I think it had something to do with the fact that it reminded me of my own wedding dress-both our dresses were Maggie Sottero’s, which are amazing pieces! I highly recommend them to ANY bride because the detail and the quality are AMAZING. I’m still trying to figure out what I can do with mine so I can wear it more often–or if I should leave it intact for sentimental/future children reasons. Any ideas anyone??
Anyway, enough blabbing from me….
I’m so glad I was able to work with these guys on their wedding, and with Kami on her bridals. Czar cracked me up with how inquisitive he was with everything. I’ve never had a couple that was so cooperative with some of the odd things I asked them to do (such as have the groom hold the bouquet–it’s a cute picture). The details were amazing and I loved the colors together-very fresh and clean! Kami had incorporated some fun details like the candy table as favors for her guests, and the vintage-looking pin she used for her sash on her dress–SO adorable!!
Thank you guys for sharing your day with me. It was a beautiful day full of sun, laughter & warmth.
Their cake was AMAZING and one of my favorite details of the day. It was created by the one & only Raelynn McCormick. Contact her at (435) 789-4674 for your beautiful cake!!

As you can see I’ve been spending some time away from technology for the Holidays. Spending some much-needed time with family, reconnecting with my hubby, getting an additional puppy…and I’ve been doing some soul searching. So many of my nights over the last year have been spent sitting here in front of my screen, disconnected from reality, trying to figure out what to do next, where to go from here—and I found myself lost. Lost in technology, lost in keeping up, lost in the crowd, and worst of all lost in myself. I can’t say that I know exactly where I want to be a year from now with Moments by Lacy, but I do know that my story has only just begun. I thought I loved Photography before, but I was wrong. It runs within me–it’s my outlet–it’s my sanity, without which-I would be pretty batty.
I’ve been brain storming and I’ve got some fun things planned for 2010 for my clients, and I’m extremely excited about it all!! So…I’m hoping that all of my readers will have the BEST YEAR YET in 2010. Make the best of each day you have…it seems like it only speeds up as days go by.
What’s that you say? You want to see the new Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy? Well…your wish is my command:
And of course, she’s cuddled up in a Nebraska Husker’s blanket!
Oh how I love these guys. We have been friends with the Bishop’s for 3 or 4 years now. Melissa and I were just talking the other night about how quickly her youngest is growing up! She was TINY when we started hanging out with them….well, BOTH of the girls were tiny. I get to see Kyle more than Melissa because it seems that him and my husband are attached at the hip I’m glad he has such a great friend. They were a lot of fun to shoot–and Kyle was such a trooper. I forgot that his knee was still sore and I was making him squat & do all sorts of weird things–then it hit me (as he got up pretty SLOWLY at one point)–He JUST HAD KNEE SURGERY!! He just laughed when I said, “Why didn’t you say something about your knee to remind me?!” Yup, felt like a GREAT friend at that point…NOT –Sorry Beak!
We love you guys! Love, Lacy
I just couldn’t stand it…I just HAD to post a few pictures of what I’ve been so busily working on while neglecting my blog I’ve been chained to my desk and working on getting all this editing done and back out to my clients, so I haven’t had a chance to get them posted. I swore to myself that I would get some up this weekend….so this post was born!

These two are so stinkin’ cute together! I’ve known Nicole for a long time, so when she called to have me shoot her wedding I was super excited! She’s an adorable person with a heart of gold who would help anyone out who needed her. I knew the day she got married would be a fun and carefree day just because of the fun girl she is…and fun & carefree it was! My lovely sister came along on this shoot with me to help me get all the details covered. I love when she comes with me because she has that “artsy” jean that I love (Thanks again Amy for coming with me on this one! Love ya).
The wedding and reception took place at the bride’s parents house, which has a FABULOUS back yard…complete with a sand box and swing set for kids! I’ve never seen a bride before their wedding be as calm as she was. Cole seemed a little more nervous when I went over to click some pictures of him…but he was still more calm than I had expected. I took some pictures of Nicole getting ready, then I headed outside to find Cole. He and his brothers were outside waiting for time to pass. I started clicking pictures of him (against his will, he would say! sorry Cole) then after I got the shots I wanted, I set off to get some detail shots. I went back inside and Nicole was saying that Cole’s shirt he was wearing still had the crease lines in it from being in the package…she was laughing about it and had assigned someone to go “take care of that”. Apparently I’m retarded because as I was chatting with him and clicking pictures of him with his brothers, I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE?!? Glad someone was more observant that day than I was
These two are so perfect for each other, and I know they will have a long and happy life together, and that Nicole will make a great step mom to Payton. Congrats you guys!!!
P.S….The Goodrich’s had this beef sent in from where Nicole’s mom grew up. I’ve never had BBQ’d beef as amazing as that! Oh my gosh, it was amazing! It ships in marinade and vacuum packed…definitely need to get some of that to BBQ this coming summer PS-Nicole…if you know the name of the company, shoot it my way 
haha
This is one of Amy’s shots of JaLee and Sammi
The Daddy’s dance started out like this….
Then broke into a rock song….in true Nicole & Coray fashion
