It’s been well over 16 years since I learned Chad and I were expecting our first child. The list of emotions I went through was long. But one feeling always seemed to overpower the rest. Love! Even now as I think back my heart swells with love, joy and hope. Love for my husband and […]

A few years ago my husband decided he would like to purchase a motorcycle. Harley Davidson to be exact. I wasn’t sure at first but I wasn’t about to be one of those wives who mothered their husbands. Instead I decided to join him on this new adventure. We only made one agreement. If I […]

I’ve been struggling to develop interesting blog content for the winter months. When it’s below freezing no one really wants to take outdoor, natural light portraits. I can’t really blame them! As much as I love taking pictures I know, just like my clients, my fingers would rather stay inside and avoid frostbite. What else […]

The Best of 2017! It’s been a year since the idea of Stacie Hubbard Photography was born. I still can’t believe how one small whisper on a cold morning walk (“you should start a photography business, Stacie”) has turned into an amazing business.

It’s our second Christmas in Virginia! Christmas time at the Hubbard house is always a festive event. If you ask my husband he will tell you our house transforms from a normal family home to Santa’s workshop every year. “She has tubs. And tubs…and TUBS of decorations”. I don’t think we have that many decorations […]
