I’m Stacy, a 40-something mom to 3 girls - one in college, one in high school, and one in preschool. Yes, you read that right. And no, she wasn’t an accident. My husband and I decided to go for baby #3 after not having changed a diaper in more than a decade. Are we crazy? Totally! But we love our girl gang. I’m also a professional photographer with 12 years of experience behind the lens at Stacy Mae Photography. When I don’t have a camera in my hand, you can find me watching Netflix, scrolling instagram, or browsing Home Goods for things my husband says we don’t need. Since having my last daughter (and living through a pandemic), I’ve become super passionate about helping moms photograph their kids with creativity and intention. I also want to be a source of motivation and encouragement to get more moms in the frame WITH their kids.
