We did a large extended family session (11 people, 5 of which were 9 and under) with Stacy. We had so much fun during our session. She was a pro at directing us where to go and pose to get the best pictures. She made everyone feel special and paid attention to every detail. The kids had a blast posing for all of the pictures and followed her direction so well. She really knew how to communicate with all age groups and personalities in order to get the best results. We can't wait to have another session with her. More...

We were so lucky to find Stacy and that she was free to capture our family pictures while vacationing at Anna Maria! Communicating with her was a breeze as she always responded quickly and answered all of our questions! She captured amazing pictures of our family and gave tips and tricks to make our hesitant adults relaxed so that perfect memories were captured! Our children, (7, 5, and 18 months) loved her and enjoyed the shoot. It was fun to them and not a task (actually it was fun for all of us)! The final pictures were stunning, way more beautiful than I imagined they would be. You can see the natural passion and creativity in her work. Beyond thankful for the treasures she gave us! More...

Coming from the Mid-West, we relied on Google/Facebook reviews to find the best photographer for our most recent family visit to Anna Maria Island, and we were not disappointed! Stacy was a lot of fun to work with and had a great deal of professionalism too. She was not shy about pointing out small details for us to fix in poses, which we appreciated all the more in the final product. The pictures turned out amazing and we got our photos back in record time. We are pleased all around with her services! More...

Stacy made our sunset Siesta Key family session so easy, so comfortable and so FUN! She is quick to communicate and really wants the session to be just what you want! We loved how she just went with the flow of the evening, yet had great suggestions for capturing the perfect shot. Our photos turned out to be absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be happier! I hope we have the opportunity to work with Stacy again. Please pick Stacy. She’s fantastic! I promise you won’t be disappointed. More...

We found Stacy on the Thumbtack app, and she has and will continue to be our official photographer in my family! Not only are her photographs meaningful, beautiful, and very well done, she herself has a real passion for photography and a great eye. She is so personable, thoughtful, and gets along well with all personality types. We first met her in January of 2018 for our engagement shoot, we were nervous at first but she made us feel so comfortable and she was so easy going but knew exactly what she was doing. Our photos turned out amazing! Next, my mother booked her for some family photos of us with our grandmother and again, fun and beautiful photos. Then we booked her in March of last year, for our wedding on 4/20/2019, I haven't seen the photos yet, but the experience was even better than before and she was even more helpful!! She was with us from the time we were getting ready up until we cut the cake. She helped me relax when I needed it, reminded me to eat and hydrate, and just helped us wherever she could. I love Stacy so much, and she has now become like a friend. Her photos are high quality and turn out wonderfully amazing, but her personality and helpfulness really make her a truly incredible photographer. She makes the entire experience so much fun and she really goes above and beyond! Very highly recommended!! (Also, her second photographer, Laura, was exactly the same!! She was helpful, hilarious, fun, and again just a delight to be around! I can't wait to see our photos!!) More...

Our whole experience was wonderful! Stacy responded to my email quickly, she was easy to talk to, and I loved her style. I knew she would be an excellent choice for my son's senior pictures. She's spunky, outgoing, and she really makes you feel comfortable. We felt like we've known her for years. The photo shoot was awesome and we couldn't be happier with our photos! More...

Stacy is amazing. Truly, truly amazing. Not only is she is so much fun to be around, she captures the most real and beautiful moments. We worked with Stacy to do our engagement shoot and our wedding. She went above and beyond for us. She gave us all of the time we needed to make sure we had perfect pictures to capture our memories. Stacy was available throughout the entire wedding planning process, offering suggestions, words of wisdom and her support whenever it was asked. I felt like I had a true partner in planning the best day ever. When it came time for the wedding she was there early and stayed until our exit, even came to the rehearsal the night before!! She and her 2nd photographer, Laura, were so much fun to be around. Stacy knew photos were not going to be our most favorite thing of the day. She encouraged us to spend some time taking the pictures while also knowing exactly when we had hit our limits. Also worthy of mentioning, she was 100% supportive of our wishes to not do a first look, which can make some photographers cringe. I can't wait for the next life event so that we can work with Stacy again!! More...

I had the pleasure of working a destination wedding on December 29th, 2017 for my dear friend Amy Walsh and my " New brother" Brian Denis. I was "requested " to come to Dunedin Florida from Long Island, New York to DJ this beautiful union of 2 people that I am now extremely close with. The bride Amy would tell me of this phenomenal women she was talking too that would be the photographer for her wedding, Stacy. We met on Wednesday, 2 days before the wedding and instantly I could see why Stacy would be the perfect person to photograph Amy and Brian's wedding. She thought of everything and had other incredible ideas to enhance their wedding even more. On the wedding day, she was everywhere!

Found Stacy on Thumbtack. She was the only vendor that replied with a personal message and not a copy&paste. Pictures came out AMAZING and super quick turnaround time. We love how being-in-the-moment she is and that was what we were aiming for the shoot to be. There was not a moment of awkwardness between us and her. Other 5-star reviews did not lie!

Other than her awesome self, being a tech person that I am, I have to say that her web service for signing the contract, fill in questionnaires, payment, etc., is highly impressive. Please keep using it!

Thank you for being out in the rain with us to capture our special moment and let your passion shines through your lens! 10/10 will book again!!

We were so thrilled to have Stacy photograph our family during our short vacation in Anna Maria Island. She was extremely flexible to our schedule, babies included, and took the time to get to know each of us before the sunset photo shoot. It's rare to find a photographer who is so proficient in their craft, that they also take the time to get to know their subjects before shooting. That extra effort really stood out from the final images, and our extended family and friends were just blown away by what she captured. Thank you so much!! Would definitely use Stacy again, and recommend her to friends and family. More...

Q&As

I strive to know my client's expectations and goals for the session. I do my homework and I spend time preparing for the shoot. During the photo session, I use games, prompts, and my client's vision to engage my clients to have fun, relax, and trust the process that we will capture images they love for a lifetime. I get it "right" in the camera so the editing process is nature, clean, and brings out my client's very best.

What are you're expectations? Do you have a Pinterest board? What is important to you that we capture?

I love what I do and it shows! The eternal people-watcher, I love observing people interact, celebrate, laugh, love, and get lost in moments and to be able to capture those memories and flashes of time is addicting. I shoot because I can't not shoot.

My career for two decades found me working with amazing people in an industry I believe in -- addiction and recovery. Peddlers of hope! I think it was because of being around others transforming from such a hard place that when I found myself asking "what is my purpose" after the death of my mother, I had the courage to make some changes that embraced passion over security, creativity over calm and I leapt toward my dream of being a photographer. I believe it is true what they say...if you do what you love for a living, you'll never work a day in your life. A collector of memories and moments, seeing the art in everyone and everywhere --- this is my creative calling.

No one will work harder to capture this special time in your life! Your photos are an investment and many of these moments are a "once in a lifetime" event. I come prepared, have professional gear (and backup gear), am an eternal student forever learning to grow and stretch myself, and I don't gamble with your day.
