I'm Stacey, a Brisbane-based photographer who has been photographing models of all ages and experience levels since 2011. I'm a natural introvert, which is part of why sessions tend to feel calm and unhurried. I'm also a mum, and that probably helps too.

I love watching people grow more comfortable in front of the camera throughout a session, particularly those who arrive feeling nervous or unsure of themselves. Seeing that confidence come through in the final images is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Over the years, many clients have gone on to sign with agencies and pursue opportunities within the industry. More than anything though, I want people to walk away feeling genuinely good about themselves and seen in a way that feels honest and authentic.
