Discipline dominoes.
One good choice quietly bullies the next one into happening.
That's where confidence comes from.

"Dress everyday like you’re going to be murdered in those clothes," - Tracy Jordon, 30 ROCK

I've been trying to have more fun with my wardrobe and come to love renting. (I've partnered with an app called Nuuly and I'm obsessed!) This dress, though, is Anthropologie clearance and it's been the most fun garment to have around.

Every year on my birthday, I have my portrait taken.
Not because I always feel photogenic. Not because I need new profile pictures.
Because I need the reminder of what it feels like to be on the other side of the camera.
The nerves. The vulnerability. The trust.
It makes me a better photographer every single time.
And while I have you, thank you, in advance, for changing my life.
Every referral. Every share. Every booking. Every person who trusts me enough to step in front of my camera.
You may never know the ripple effect of your support, but I do.
And I'm grateful for it every single day.

In case your curious, this is a tin type taken by the lovely
A truly thrilling experience if you've never considered this art form before. I recommend.

Long overdue... meet the woman behind so many of the beautiful faces you've seen in my work.

This is Christine of Christine Monique Beauty, and we've been working together behind the scenes for the past year.

She trained in the heart of Hollywood, California, learning from some of the film industry's top makeup artists. Since then, she's worked on feature films, campaigns, photoshoots, weddings, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and just about everything in between. Now she has her own studio in Lincoln, where she offers makeup, hair, and esthetician services.

Beyond her incredible talent, she's one of those people who instantly puts clients at ease. Whether you're convinced you're "not photogenic" or you've never had professional hair and makeup before, Christine has a way of making the whole experience feel effortless.

I'm so grateful she's part of my team. ❤️

Go give her some love:

Things I did not have on my bingo card:
Photographing tattooed realtors for a special edition of Real Producers.

Turns out, the people negotiating inspections by day also have some pretty incredible ink.

This assignment completely scratched my creative itch. Moody light, black & white, bold personalities, and a new playground—The Nook in the Haymarket.

Moral of the story? Never judge a realtor by their business card.

Best friends for 30+ years, Broadway fanatics, and two women who somehow always know what's going on in Wahoo before the rest of us.
Photographing their friendship was every bit as fun as you'd imagine.

Confession: my secret photography technique is making grown women laugh until they forget they're in front of a camera.
This is Jamie, 44:
"I couldn't stop smiling! Stacy instantly made me feel at ease. She kept everything lighthearted and fun while creating a genuine connection. I love how happy and confident I look in my photos—they captured exactly what I was hoping for: beautiful, confident, and happy."

I'll take that review over "Your camera takes good pictures" any day.

You don't need to smile to be powerful.
Sometimes strength looks quiet.
Sometimes it looks weathered.
Sometimes it wears a lion on its arm.
Black and white has a way of stripping away the distractions and leaving only what matters: presence, confidence, and the story written into a person's face.

This is why I'll never get tired of creating portraits like these.

One thing Amber absolutely gets?
People do business with people.

She's an incredible realtor, a savvy business owner, and she understands that being the face of your brand isn't about ego—it's about connection.
I'm still surprised how often I research a business and can't find a single photo of the person behind it. Plenty of reviews. A nice logo. A polished website. But... who am I actually hiring?
Maybe it's just me, but I want to see the person I'm trusting with one of my biggest decisions. A face builds confidence in a way a logo never will.
If you're the heart behind your business, don't hide behind your brand.
Let people meet you before they ever pick up the phone.
