Heya, my name is Stacey

I am a natural light lifestyle portrait photographer based in North Carolina. I love to capture emotion and realism that surrounds families big and small, human and furry. I am a natural light photographer that embraces the art of photography and loves to splash that into my photoshoots.

When I'm not busy shooting, I also enjoy - good food, great conversation, my cats, coffee, snuggling up with a good book, video games, web design, cooking, learning and laughing. Feel free to leave a comment if you feel inclined and be sure to stay connected through the links below or E-mail me if you have any questions, or just to say hello!

Photo Editing Service – North Carolina Photography

August 22, 2012

This one is for the photographers!

I have for years been asked to teach Photoshop and have been asked numerous questions about my workflow and editing. The truth is that I was a rather introverted child (nothing has changed there…haha) and I spent hours upon hours in Photoshop playing around and teaching myself the program. I am completely self taught and am so thankful for other photographer’s tips and tricks I have picked up over the years to minimize my workflow and make it much more proficient. It would take me weeks or months to teach how Photoshop to someone else but I am always more than happy to help.

I will soon be offering my photo editing services to fellow photographers looking to outsource their editing so they can focus on what they love, which is taking pictures. I have always loved the processing side of photography so I figured I would offer those services to the photographers who just don’t have time or like it as much as I do. I will have all of the details up soon but my rates and turn-around time will be competitive and completely professional. If you are a photographer and are thinking of outsourcing your photo editing and would like to see what I can offer you, I’d love to do a sample editing for you. Below are a few before and after edits on my own photos. Once I get all of the details together I will offer you a place to submit your images for sample editing so you can see how my post processing can help your workflow and give you back your time to do what you really love – photography!

Mommy & Me Products – North Carolina Lifestyle Photography

August 18, 2012

A lot of people have shown interest in the Mommy & Me Limited Edition Fine Art Sessions and I’ve also had quite a few questions about products and packages available outside of the session and the (1) 8×10 and (2) 5×7 prints included. Because this shoot is a Limited Edition (limited number of sessions available at a reduced cost), there is not a DVD included but you can purchase that extra. All products are also listed at a significant sale price from my standard fees. You are not obligated to buy additional products. These sessions are put on with a lot of costs behind the scenes to ensure you have a quality and custom experience and that your photos are unique yet classic. All shoots take place in an all inclusive gallery loft studio and I will have an assistant on hand to help when needed.

Because I am a huge advocate for animals, I am giving anyone who donates at least 10 cans or a 10+ pound bag of dog or cat food a further reduced price on the image DVD. All food will be donated to local rescues and animal shelters. You do not have to purchase the below extra products until the day of your session so the only cost due to book your session is 50% of the session fee ($125). Booking is now closed.

DVD of edited images – $125 *DVD is discounted to $50 with the donation of 10 cans or a 10+ pound bag of dog or cat food.
2 11×14 fine art prints – $75 (Add DVD for an additional $50)
4 5×7 fine art prints – $75 (Add DVD for an additional $50)
16×24 fine art canvas wrap – $225 (Add DVD for an additional $50)
28×11 3 image block standout – $250 (Add DVD for an additional $50)
