Stol and Sons

Dad by day.  Comedian by night.  I suppose you've got to have a sense of humor to be good at either...


  






  

Rafferty Starship

I just couldn't take enough pictures of this photogenic cutie!  Those big blue eyes are a photographers dream!




The Stol Boys

Charlie Tiger and Rafferty Starship...  Fun family.  Sweet kids.

Colorful Amsterdam

As the weather turns cold, it's easy to forget just how vibrant Amsterdam can be...

Coat-of-Arms

This my be one of my favorite shots of the city.  The triple X symbol is seen throughout Amsterdam and is recognized as its coat of arms.  Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the seedy side of town... 



"The three St. Andrew’s Crosses in white on a black stripe on a red background. On the flag they appear horizontally, but most other places they appear vertically. St. Andrew was a fisherman who lived in the 1st Century AD and was said to have been crucified on an X-shaped cross. The Amsterdam XXX symbol dates back to the year 1505 when the city was a fisherman’s town, so the coat of arms was established as the symbol for the city itself and it also flew as a flag on all ships registered in Amsterdam."

Romantic Amsterdam

Quaint Dutch houses, the soft buzzing of boats along the canals, the village atmosphere....  Amsterdam such a lovely place for romance.

Nautical Amsterdam

Caught these on one of those touristy canal tours.  Come to find out, that's one of the best ways to view the city.  Amsterdam is drop dead gorgeous at sunset!

More great maternity portraits with Tatiana....


        




Tatiana, 36 weeks (June 2010)

Tatiana was 36 weeks pregnant here, but it wasn't long after the maternity photo shoot that her second child, Ilian, was born.  Congratualtions to the whole family!  I can't wait to meet your new addition!

My New Favorite Place... (July 2010)

Nothing says heaven like a bit of chocolate.  And these little gems at Puccini are divine (and made right there in the shop).  I couldn't help but snap a few photos.  I was a kid in a candy store...

Ollie and the Baby (Mar 2010)

At 2 years old, Oliver speaks in full, well articulated sentences and loves to read with his mommy.  He will be such an amazing big brother!









Lazy Sunday (Jun 2010)

Nap time is never better than on a cloudy Sunday afternoon...







   

Winter in Amsterdam (Feb 2010)

Amsterdam is such an amazing city to photograph.  Every canal and every alley offer something interesting to catch the eye.  A thick fog in February adds a serene and smoky feel to the scenery.







Izabella, 2 years 4 months (Mar 2010)

A very calm and thoughtful child, Izabella is easily captured in a moment of deep concentration.  She's definitely wise beyond her years!

Kim at 26 Weeks (Mar 2010)

Kim sat for some maternity photos in March, and is now just a few weeks from the big day!  I can't wait to meet Kim and Gus' second child soon.  I'm betting on a girl this time, and I'm sure she will be just as gorgeous as her mother!

About Me

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Born and raised in the relaxed, fun-loving city of Austin, Texas, I have always been fascinated with photography and the challenge of capturing spontaneous human expression. I have since lived and traveled around the world, filling my portfolio full of beautiful and interesting places and people. I’ve been very busy over the past 4 years. My husband and I have had two daughters and lived all over the world. First in Amsterdam, then in Hong Kong, Amsterdam again, and now in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, UK. I officially turned my life-long love into a business while in Amsterdam a few years ago, and I am now starting all over again here. I expect things will begin slowly, but with so many lovely families around, I am hoping for business to flourish! I specialize in family and maternity photography, and I would love to photograph your wedding or other special occasion you may be preparing for. Though I am based in Wheathampstead, I am willing to travel to you to capture your special moment. Please email me at stacy21@mac.com for more information.
