chasing sunsets and toddlers

Hello & Welcome!

I'm Stacey Smith, Cincinnati lifestyle photographer

If you want to capture life and all the beautiful chaos, you've come to the right place. As a mom, I know that these silly, wild moments of childhood are truly beautiful and fleeting. I'll thoughtfully preserve the sweetest details for you to hold onto forever. You'll never regret capturing memories spent with the people you love the most. My natural, lifestyle approach to photography involves laughs, cuddles and fully embracing the moment you're in.

“Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to her edges. It’s both beautiful and brutal, often at the same time.”

― Nikki McCahon

Testimonials

Jessica M

“Stacey is not only my favorite photographer she is also one of my favorite people. She makes taking family photos with littles so enjoyable and relaxing (as they can be, of course). Every photo simply amazes me and I love seeing my girls through her lens! I couldn't imagine my family love being captured by anyone other than her.”

Why hire a lifestyle photographer?

Because life is what you want captured. Real life. Snuggling on the couch, playing with chalk and riding scooters, exploring the local park, and of course the occasional toddler meltdown followed by the sweetest hugs. I know that motherhood is messy, but oh so gorgeous. I'll thoughtfully capture the sweetest moments so you won't miss a thing.
