About

An open hardbound photography portfolio book lies on a rustic wooden table, its thick, satin-finish pages displaying full-bleed portrait silhouettes rim-lit by clusters of starlike fairy lights, with no faces visible. Beside the book, a small prism and a glass sphere catch a shaft of warm late-afternoon sunlight, scattering tiny rainbow flares across the table. The background gently falls into blur, revealing only hints of a camera strap and a roll of gaffer tape. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with a shallow depth of field, the image feels tactile, warm, and quietly magical. The photographic style is rich and detailed, evoking the feeling of holding starlight-infused memories in your hands.

A gleaming portrait photography camera on a sturdy tripod stands on a hilltop overlook at twilight, its lens pointed toward a horizon dissolving into deep indigo sky dusted with early stars. A subtle strand of fairy lights winds up one of the tripod legs, casting tiny warm glows against the cool metal. The foreground grasses are softly blurred, while the camera body is in razor-sharp focus. In the distant background, a town’s lights create a gentle, colorful bokeh. The scene is lit by the last whisper of golden hour mixed with the blue hour sky, creating a dreamy, hopeful mood. Photographic realism, low-angle composition, emphasizing the union of portrait craft and astronomy dreaming.

Warm, magical portraits.

A dark, moody studio corner transformed into a celestial portrait set: a simple wooden stool stands on a matte black floor, encircled by delicate fairy lights coiled in transparent bottles and scattered across the ground like tiny constellations. A deep navy backdrop hangs behind, speckled with subtle, hand-painted gold dots resembling distant stars. A single softbox above and slightly behind the stool creates a halo of rim light, leaving the front in gentle shadow. Captured in photographic realism from a low, three-quarter angle, the composition centers the stool while allowing the sparkling decor to frame it. The mood is dreamy, intimate, and slightly otherworldly, embodying the idea of portraits written in starlight without a subject present.

From the moment we arrived, Lacey’s calm, imaginative approach put us at ease. Her lens seems to listen to your story and translate it into luminous, timeless photographs that we’ll treasure for years.

An elegant tabletop portrait setup in a small home studio, where a single vintage armchair is draped with a textured, midnight-blue velvet throw and surrounded by glass jars filled with softly glowing fairy lights. Behind the chair, a seamless charcoal backdrop rises, its surface catching delicate gradients from a large softbox positioned to the right. The floor is dark wood, subtly reflecting the light and adding depth. Captured in photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle with the chair framed by rule of thirds, the atmosphere feels intimate, cinematic, and quietly enchanted, perfect for suggesting where clients would sit for their star-kissed portraits without showing any people.

Our session with Lacey was a dream come true. She guided us with care, captured laughter in every frame, and produced portraits that feel like they belong in a fairytale.

A night-sky–themed flat lay arranged on a textured, charcoal linen backdrop: a mirrorless camera with a luminous fast lens, a small brass telescope, and a scattering of printed portrait contact sheets showing only blurred, backlit figures and glowing fairy lights. Silver star confetti and a coiled, battery-powered string of warm white lights weave between the objects. A single beam of cool, directional light from the top left mimics moonlight, creating crisp, dramatic shadows and subtle metallic highlights on the brass telescope. Shot from directly overhead in photographic realism, the composition balances the objects in an asymmetrical layout, conveying a mood that is contemplative, whimsical, and obsessed with capturing human stories under cosmic skies—without including any people.
