A Chicago native, Stacy started her creative journey first as a dancer throughout her formative years, pursuing this passion all the way through college (on scholarship!) at UNLV. She worked at the MGM Grand convention center planning corporate event catering as well as weddings. Oh, the foreshadowing! There, she met her husband of 23 years and after welcoming their first child, a daughter, they moved to Oregon where they were blessed with a second baby (a boy this time) and enjoyed mountain + river life for 5 years. During her time as a stay at home mom, Stacy began competing in scrapbooking competitions and decided to elevate her photography skills in pursuit of winning. From the moment she picked up the camera, a new love was born for the creative, yet technical art of photography that she never imagined would parallel those aspects of dance. After hanging photos of her children in her home, the requests from friends came pouring in and a business was born. After moving to Florida in 2007 and becoming captivated by the beauty of our white sand beaches, Stacy transitioned from family photography to weddings and has been chasing brides and sunsets ever since.

Artfully capturing the way you connect with the people that you love is our absolute honor. We keep things light, fun and on-schedule with a balanced focus on details and the big picture. A bird's eye view and a tear rolling down the cheek are achieved by having two photographers as a standard feature in our packages. You can expect detailed communication throughout your wedding journey as we provide questionnaire, a thoroughly reviewed timeline and a preparation guide (one for the bride and one for the groom) all before the big day.
The love and connection of a family is the highest priority in our personal lives. We approach family sessions with lots of direction while keeping you moving, laughing, and authentic; never contrived. We will shoot on location during golden hour which is that magical time before sunset when the light is at its most ideal position in the sky for dreamy skin tones. I will give you direction on location, wardrobe and hair + making so that together, we will create captivating images that are filled with light and laughter.
Celebrating a high school senior comes naturally having captured my own two seniors in 2020 and 2022. These sessions can be customized to incorporate interests and sports, or they can simply capture the milestone with a casual session. We shoot on-location and I will guide the process with attention to personality, comfort level and the end product whether that be wall art, graduation announcements or social media posts (or all of it!).

starting at $900High School SeniorsStacy is an absolute DREAM to work with! She came highly recommended by our coordinator and within the first five minutes of meeting her over the phone, I knew we were a fit! She truly went above and beyond, helping us to feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We were in awe watching her work, always following the golden, glowy light-which made for the most gorgeous, magical photos. Stacy was always on top of communicating, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and had a plan in place for us to avoid some family drama. After the wedding, she followed up to let us know what to expect in terms of timing, which she was always ahead of. Our "sneak peek" was stunning and we didn't know how the rest of the photos could top it...but they DID! We can't wait for our paths to cross again!

Wondering if a First Look is right for you? Here 5 reasons why it just works:
1. More Bride + Groom portraits + multiple locations vs. rushing to beat the sunset in one spot
2. It takes off so much pressure. I see it everytime: shoulders relax, breathing is easier and you are teamed up to enjoy the day feeling much more relaxed (which is a win for photos too!)
3. Hair and makeup is perfectly fresh
4. You’ll have time to join your guests at cocktail hour
5. You can enjoy a much more dramatic and private interaction vs not being able to talk while in front of an audience at the alter
The most common feedback I hear from couples after a first look: “I am so glad we did that!”
