Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Stacy.

For nearly 15 years I have been creating photographs for fun, lighthearted families that like to laugh and enjoy life (and sometimes internally screaming at them, like we all do). The families that choose me want real photos which means sessions are laid-back and interactive. Not overly posed with sit, look at me and “say cheeeese“, snap. For families and kids you can expect sessions to be filled with belly giggles, bear hugs, swinging, tickles, nose boops, and yes…probably talking about dirty diapers. It may feel like a hot mess at times, but I promise its all good. I’m wanting to see each kid’s personality and your real moments.

For newborns, know they are posed with trained hands while nestled in organic tones and rustic elements that look timeless in your home. Knowledge, years of experience, and safety is key while creating those beautiful images for you. Safely posing is something I have been trained in and have taught to other photographers. Believe it or not, babies don’t just sleep during their session so its important your photographer knows how to work with their delicate bodies, safely! That only comes from training and over a decade of experience

My studio has a large prop collection curated to my organic, coordinated tones style. It also has a large collection of boutique maternity gowns and children’s clothes to give your final images that little bit of something extra to help create stunning images.

To top it off, I offer products to match your style that will look perfect in your home. Into reclaimed barnwood? I have frames and heirloom boxes to match your tastes. Into something a bit smaller to toss in your purse to show off? I have that, too. Are you after a statement piece (or two or three)?? You bet – I love creating custom displays for families using their photos. Let me help you show off those photos in a special way beyond a simple, tiny 4×6 photo.

For the past several years I have been consistently rated one as of the leading newborn photographers in Chicagoland and have created sessions and artwork for families both locally and internationally. This extensive experience on my end translates to easy, low-stress sessions for you.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll probably find me drinking coffee (iced coffee, specifically). I’m a mom to two girls and have an amazing husband who I sucker into is thrilled to help me with some manual labor and engineering at the studio. I’m obsessed with creating something special for each family that chooses me and making my clients feel good. I would love to do it for you, as well.

You have something worth photographing. Let me help you display it. Contact me to do just that.
