DENVER FAMILY + DOG PHOTOGRAPHER
Lover of all things dogs, adventure, photography and travel
MEET STACEY| YOUR DOG LOVING, ADVENTURE SEEKING, COLORADO PHOTOGRAPHER
Deciding on a photographer is such a personal choice, and photographing you and your family is not something I take lightly at all. I’ve been told I have a knack for making people at ease, and hope to convey that to you as you are finding the right fit for your family.
So as you’re getting to know me, I would describe myself as an adventurous soul who left the big city and the corporate world, for a life in the mountains filled with photography. I’m a rescue dog-mom (RIP to my girl, Pearl), an auntie to the best nieces and nephews, a best friend, live music junkie, a hiker, a traveler, a risk taker.
Originally from St. Louis, I arrived in Colorado in summer of 2021 after living in Chicago for 20 years. I took a leap after working in advertising for 25 years, and am following my passion of photography full time, rather than just doing it as my side hustle. I have taken numerous courses in photography to enhance my skills, and have been featured in a variety of publications including Boulder Magazine. I have also been featured in websites and calendars for my dog photography, and have photographed rescue dogs, puppies and puppy raisers for the Canine Companions organization among other rescue groups.
I am truly excited to get to know you and take snapshots for this moment in time of your life!

This is Pearl - my “soul” dog and the one who was by my side through some of the biggest years of my life. True love here…
FAQ about me!
What’s in my camera bag?
I’m a Canon girl, and I of course have my camera - a 5D Mark 4. Most of my clients have dogs, so equally important as my camera are dog treats to coax all of your pups to smile! Oh, and my current lenses are 70-200 2.8 and a 24-70 2.8.
Favorite things to do (other than photography)?
Travel (I try to travel internationally once a year!), hike in the beautiful Colorado mountains, catch as many concerts at Red Rocks as I can, take pilates classes, have long dinners and talks with my best friends, and visit and love on my nieces and nephews.
Worst habit?
My Diet Coke addiction!
What is my most meaningful trip?
Traveling around the US in 2021 with my Chocolate Lab, Pearl (RIP). I didn’t know what the future held but I was never more excited with anticipation about what was to come.
What do I geek out most about with Photography?
Short answer is finding that amazing light to get the most beautiful photos of you and your family. The long answer to this is detailed in this post, which is all about light.
Favorite sports teams?
I’m a diehard St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan and Kansas Jayhawks basketball fan.
