I LOVE CAPTURING SOMEONE’S ESSENCE— THEIR EMOTIONS, THEIR BEING, THEIR SOUL— IN A PHOTOGRAPH
Fine Art
portraits
I immersed myself in photography courses and internships through Miami Dade College, Palm Beach Photographic Institute, and the Art Institute of Atlanta working diligently at honing my skills.
I am an active member of PPA, The Professional Photographers of America Association and my local GPPA chapter.
I have been mentored by some of the most well known photographers in the world. I am of the mindset that I will never stop learning and have been practicing perfecting both the art of natural light and studio photography for close to a decade.
Photography documents a person, a time, or a place. These are important instances that become the art of your life. We are slicing time and preserving our story.
THE BEAUTY OF BECOMING A MOM IN 2005 COMPELLED ME TO PAUSE AND PICK UP A CAMERA. THIS IS WHEN MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH PHOTOGRAPHY STARTED.
Portraits are about the connections. I love creating art that reflects the soul. It’s not about perfection. It’s about capturing an individual’s personality, finding the perfection in imperfection. Each person is truly beautiful in their own way.

The process
steps from start to finish
Let's get started
I look forward to sharing your excitement when you see your printed images.
Enjoy
The turn-around time is based on the product-type you ordered and it will be delivered to the location you choose.
Delivery
After the edits are done, we'll meet for our scheduled preview and ordering session. This is approximately 2-3 weeks after.
Preview
Editing is a significant part of my business, style, and process. I hand edit each culled image as a part of my artwork and my style. It is why you hired me.
Editing
We meet up, and make sure you are styled and ready to go. As we start shooting, I will suggest poses throughout and help keep you relaxed. I will interact and ask questions to elicit emotion or expressions, but also step back at times to let your story unfold as naturally as possible. I let my intuition guide me.
Shoot Day
We interview each other, fancy talk for getting to know one another a bit. I want to understand your purpose and visions. Then we (and I say we because this is a collaborative effort) book your session, discuss ideas for location, wardrobe and how you want to be captured and seen.

Working with Staci for our family portraits was a dream come true. Being an artist myself, I wanted something unique and artistic. I don't like having the same images year after year. I had an idea of my family walking in the street holding hands creating a spin-off of the Beatles Abbey Road Cover. She brought it to life and we were thrilled. We have booked her for 4 years and cannot wait to schedule our session this year."

"Staci is a true professional with an eye for design and a relaxed attitude that made me feel comfortable while "posing" for my professional head shots. The end result were head shots that truly captured my personality, and made me proud to share them with my colleagues and constituents. Great job, Staci!"

"As Mother's Day gift to myself, I wanted to put the children and I in front of the lens together. I wanted it to be something that captures their innocence, happiness, personalities, and love for one another. Staci couldn't have done a better job. Every photo was so perfect from shot, to composition, to imagery, and final editing. She made the children feel comfortable and let me feel great about being photographed! Such a genuinely nice and professional person to work with - we plan on doing family photos soon."
– Shayna H
"My experience with Staci was AMAZING! The pictures she took of my daughter are beautiful. The entire process from beginning to end was easy, fun and RELAXING. Her sweet personality made my daughter feel like a true princess for the day. Her professionalism is unlike any other - prompt with responses and super creative. I cannot wait to book again with her this spring for more pictures of our entire family. I highly recommend Staci to all my friends and family!"
– Kristen C
"We loved our experience with Staci. The hair and makeup was age appropriate. She assisted in going through the various outfits we brought and provided her opinion as to what would show up best with different backdrops. She was patient and worked well with my 8 year old. The pictures came out really well and one has been picked up by a professional photography group on Instagram-snap society. We will be scheduling again for summer shots. Highly recommend."
– Dana K
"My daughter wanted to work with Staci after seeing some of her work, so for her 18th birthday I gave her a photo shoot for one of her gifts......... WHAT a day!!!
Staci made my daughter feel SO SPECIAL on her photo shoot and in turn we can see that in her photos. Last but not least, Staci's attention to details continued into her presentation of her work from the video viewing at her home studio to the complete packaging of the purchases. We are beyond impressed and happy and highly recommend Staci and can't wait to use her again very soon!!!!!"
– Jen M
"I can not even put into words how amazing Staci is! Her talent, creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail is astounding! It's clear she wants her work to be a treasure for her client. And believe me, it is!
