OUR 2024 SCENES
1.) THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS
This year's biggest scene is straight out of the original 1964 movie! Except this isn't claymation haha! When you enter, you'll be transported into a world of glaciers and peculiar characters! Word on the street is that The Abominable Snowman himself will be there hiding in his cave November 9th, 10th & 11th! Relive the magic of this classic screenplay complete with colored lights and themed music! King Moongazer welcomes you! And Mr. Abominable can either welcome you.....or scare you! The choice is yours! (Abominable Snowman character will only be there November 9th, 10th & 11th)
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: This scene has a neutral base with pops of color so almost anything will work! Yellow, blue, purple, green, pink or gray will look fabulous!
2.) CHRISTMAS IN THE CARIBBEAN
Ever wanted to spend Christmas in the tropics but don't have the heart to leave your family?!? Not to worry! We brought the beach right to you! This year's classic living room scene is straight out of paradise! Picture celebrating the holidays at your beach house where beautiful shells and starfish grace your tree and driftwood is a staple decoration!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: Shades of blue, shades of brown/beige, peach, white or cream all go well!
3.) HOLIDAY TALES ON THE TRAILS!
If you love the mountains, this scene is for you! Featuring antique skiis and snowshoes and an icicle covered ski lift surrounded by snowy trees! Feel free to bundle up and even bring your own board or skis for these shots! Don't forget your quarters! The ski lift is $0.50!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: Maroon/red, black, gray, evergreen, brown/beige, ski/outdoor clothing (vests, fleece, scarves, mittens, etc...)
4.) PEPPERMINT PARADISE!
Check out this sweet retreat! Its your very own Gingerbread Getaway! We built you a life-sized Peppermint Paradise! But don't let your kids lick the walls because the shnozberries definitely don't taste like shnozberries here 🤣🤣 Children can go inside and hang out the windows, they can stand out front holding candy canes & baskets of candy or they can grab some tools & pretend to build this cottage themselves!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: As you can see, PJs are great! Other good colors would be red, green, flannel, brown, white. If you want your kids to pretend to "build" the gingerbread house, little work outfits like overalls, carpenter jeans or carharts would look adorable!
5.) JINGLE BELL ROCK BAND
Be a ROCKSTAR & create your very own Holiday themed album cover! We've got multiple guitars, a trumpet, a drum set, a keyboard, jingle bells and a microphone! Bring the whole family to ROCK OUT in this one-of-a-kind scene! Be sure to dress like Holiday Rockstars and feel free to bring your own musical instrument as well! Your friends and family will LOVE receiving your album cover Christmas card!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: Christmas sweaters and/or tshirts will really make this scene! Ripped jeans or leather pants complete the rockstar look!
6.) A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS PAW-TY!
This is our very first scene for DOGS ONLY! Because dogs are FAMILY too! Over the years we've had so many people bring their dogs in for photos so we thought why not make a scene just for them! Snoopy agreed to share his dog house with your fur babies, but he & Woodstock insist on being in all the photos! We even have Santa hats & Christmas light necklaces for more tolerable pooches!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: red, green or white sweaters
OUR 2024 TODDLE SCENE:
"CHRISTMAS WISHES"
This year's toddler scene is adorable! This is great for small kids being photographed alone. Sometimes they get lost in the bigger scenes!
**Entire families can also fit in this scene!
OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: Shades of brown, cream, maroon, evergreen, navy blue, silver or gold will look best!
OUR 2024 NEWBORN SCENES:
"The Littlest Snowman"
All I need to complete this look is your baby's face! No need to dress them in anything particular!
"Sweet Treats & Tiny Feet"
For this scene we will swaddle your baby! No need to bring anything! I have swaddles in every color!
ARE YOU READY TO BOOK NOW?!? I don't blame you! LET'S DO THIS!!!

XMAS MINI SESSION Q&A
1.) When are the 2024 Xmas mini sessions?
These sessions will be held on the following dates:
November 10th-18th (times vary day to day)
2.) Where are the Holiday sessions located?
LOCATION: Stacy Smith Studios 4 Warren Ave North Providence. Below is a photo of the entrance. Please park out front, come in that door and up the stairs to the lobby area where you can wait to be called in for your turn.
*** Please make sure your navigation takes you to NORTH Providence. Not EAST Providence. This has happened before!
3.) How many people does the session fee cover?
The fee is for up to 5ppl. Additional people are $25/each. No splitting sessions. Pets are welcome free of charge as long as they are well behaved, friendly and house broken. Keep in mind other people may be coming in and out with their pets as well.
4.) What if I am late or have to cancel my session?
If you are late and we have someone after you your session will be cut short. Refunds are only given if the studio needs to cancel your session. If you cancel you lose your deposit. You may schedule based on availability.
5.) When will I receive my gallery?
Galleries are delivered via email within 5 days Be sure to save “stacy@stacysmithstudios.com” in your contacts so our email doesn’t end up in your spam.
6.) How many photos do I get?
These sessions come with 6 retouched images of your choice. Photos are edited and delivered to you within ONE WEEK from the time you submit your choices. You will be emailed instructions on how to download them right onto your own computer from your gallery. They are high-res and logo free. You do NOT get to keep the unedited images.
7.) Can I buy more images?
Yes, additional images may be purchased. Individuals are $25/each or you can get 5 for $100, 10 for $150 or 15+ for $10/each.
8.) What if my kids don’t cooperate?
We do NOT issue refunds for uncooperative children. We will do what we can with the time we have to get them to smile or perhaps give them an activity to do within the set that will result in good photos. Face-swapping in photoshop is available at an additional charge but this cannot be guaranteed and may require a longer turn around time. If we have absolutely NO LUCK with your kid(s) during your session I will try to offer you a second session if there are still spots available. If you anticipate your children will be tough please bring things that make them smile that we can use to get their attention and some happy faces!
9.) How do I pay my balance?
We ask that you please bring CASH to your session to pay your balance. We will have change on hand. We will also accept Venmo and Zelle. Credit/debit cards will NOT be accepted to pay your balance.
10.) Where can I get cards printed?
You can get your photos printed anywhere! We suggest using websites like “Snapfish,” “Mpix,” “Minted” or “Shutterfly.” Walmart and Walgreens are also available but NOT NOT GO TO CVS. Professionally edited photos are not compatible with their software and your cards will come out highly pixelated and grainy.
11.) Can we bring more than one outfit?
Yes you may change outfits. We have a dressing room available for this. However, your time will NOT be extended to accommodate outfit changes so don't make them too difficult!
