Hey there, I'm Stacy.

My Story

I picked up my first camera when I was 10 years old. During high school, I took a darkroom course and preferred photographing still life and landscapes over portraits. When I turned 22, I packed my car and drove to Walt Disney World where I started working as a Photo Pass photographer. While there, I found a way to capture the magical moments between loved ones and the connection of families. I helped them tell their vacation stories using my camera. My love of photographing people grew.

After melting in the Florida heat for two years, I returned home to Washington, started my business, got married, adopted a dog, and had a couple of kids. That’s how I got here in a nutshell!

A little more about me...

I’m an introvert and awkward as hell. I trip over my words a lot and make odd sound effects when I give poses. See how many you can count when we meet! *bop boop beep*

I met my husband while he was mopping the floor at a Tacoma coffee shop at 2 o’clock in the morning. We were friends for YEARS until we realized that we needed to spend our lives together. We now have two girls together and their middle names coincide with two Star Wars characters, which was unintentional!

My Spotify playlist includes: Florence + The Machine, Death Cab for Cutie, Hozier, Bishop Briggs, London Grammar, Paramore, LP, Lizzo, U2, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Guns N’ Roses, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel…

My go-to coffee drink is a peppermint cold brew with oat milk. I’m lactose intolerant (who isn’t these days?).

I probably go through about 5 avocados per week.

I LOVE Indian and Thai food. My favorite restaurants are Gateway to India and Chili Thai.

MY MISSION

My mission is to document your life right here, right now so that you can live and let go and be in that moment. My goal is to photograph the ordinary (and maybe inordinary) and to authentically capture your family’s connection.

INCLUSION MATTERS

My business and home are safe places and I will love and accept you as you are. I do not accept or endorse any type of racism, sexism, religious discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any other form of discrimination. I am committed to treating all people of all shapes, sizes, and colors with dignity and respect. You are worthy, loved, and welcome in front of my camera.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I gratefully acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup Tribe. I recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.
