About

Hi there, you can call me Stace.

I truly feel like the camera is an extension of my heart and is a means of bringing joy into the lives of others. Throughout my entire life, I've felt most alive and free while in the midst of creating. Over the years, I've discovered that I can give people an enormous gift by using my visual skills to help them capture memories in a beautiful way.

Besides being a photographer, I'm also a musician (I'm a piano teacher & former oboist). I'm obsessed with interior decorating/design--it's all that I think about, usually. I'm also a wife and a mom (last on the list but first in my heart).

With photography, my deepest desire is to serve you--to capture your beauty & essense in a way that you'll feel rings true to your inner being. I want to use my creative vision to make stunning imagery that will be cherished throughout your lifetime and moving forward into the next generations of your family.

Couldn’t Be Happier

Hire Stace as your photographer. My husband and I got married in October, 2022, and Stace photographed our engagement photos and our wedding day. We were initially drawn to her photography because we liked her style - more real feeling than the “social media”-focused styles with contrived poses and over-bright exposure that are so popular right now. My husband and I are goofballs, and it was important to us that our personalities were present in our photos. Stace absolutely delivered in this - she provides a perfect blend of traditional photos and candids that highlight every special moment and let you relive all the emotions of the day. The photos are extensive, artistic, and joyful. She also suggested locations for our engagement shoot that were local and fit our vibe. Her pricing was spot-on for the industry and her services - worth every penny and then some. Her husband, Christopher, was also great as her second shooter on wedding day. As a team, they coordinated well with our separate videography crew to get all the shots they each needed without intrusion. We have a large family to wrangle for group photos, and they kept the process light, fun, and energetic. We received our photos quickly and I couldn’t recommend Stace more!

Thoughtful and artistic

Stacey provided us with incredibly beautiful wedding photos. She excels in paying attention to details and moments that I never would've thought to ask her to document. Our wedding photos are heirloom quality because of her skill and thoughtfulness.

Stunning and sweet photos

It was a joy to work with Stacey as our wedding photographer! She was great with communication prior to the wedding, ensuring that all of our expectations were met on the big day. She captured all of the sweet and special details along with gorgeous shots of the ceremony, wedding party, family, and more. She is a talented artist who is also attentive, kind, and professional. I highly recommend Stacey!

The most thoughtful person with the most amazing photos!

Stacey did both our engagement and our wedding photos and was a dream to work with. She was very responsive and professional and somehow managed to capture the character of our relationship in her photos. In addition to being an amazing photographer, Stacey is also an incredibly kind person. I felt like she was celebrating my wedding with me! She kept the photos fun and stress free. I would highly recommend her!

Photography is arguably one of the most important aspects of a wedding -- it is the one thing that keeps your big day alive, allowing you to revisit the day over and over again. Because of this reason, a lot of people are reluctant to choose a young photographer who is just starting up in the wedding scene. From my wedding planning experience though, I think more important then years of experience in the wedding industry is a photographer with a good eye.

My husband and I were pretty much decided on another photographer when I saw Stacey's portfolio online. There were just a small collection of pictures, but I was drawn to her style and the way she captured special moments. I convinced my husband to switch, and the rest was history.

Throughout our planning process, Stacey remained responsive and was timely in answering any questions we had. On our wedding day, she arrived early and actually carried around the "must have" list that I sent her so as to make certain all my wants are captured. She is pleasant and polite. What more can you ask for? Maybe the fact that she did a fantastic job and I LOVE the pictures that she delivered.

We really can't thank you enough, Stacey! You're awesome and I'd rehire you to do any/all of our future photos in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
