Hey friend! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!

Taking photographs has been my heart's joy since I was 12 years old. I still remember the day when I got my hands on my brother's neon orange 110 film camera and pouting for hours when he took it back. (Pssht, big brothers.) Since then I have had the most amazing opportunities to move on up from that little piece of plastic. I have fallen so in love with photography because of my passion for that "moment", meeting new clients who become good friends, traveling the world, and bringing home the best souvenirs that I could imagine ;) Photography is how I communicate with the world, whether it be my own excitements, or helping you to show others YOUR excitements! When my camera is not involved, I'm also a big face-to-face-chat type of gal. Meet me at the local coffee shop and let's hang out and get to know each other! I'd much rather talk to you than write about myself on this page... this is why I like to take pictures... no words are necessary to tell the story! ;) Lewis Hine had it right when he said

"If I could tell the story in words,

I wouldn't need to lug around a camera."

Mmmm hmm. That's me.

But I'll give you a little insight... a sneak peek if you will ;) I feel as though I’ve aged lifetimes over the course of the past 10 years! I have been blessed in so many ways during this time… finding my partner for life who not only is the best person I know, but cooks like a pro, makes me laugh, and has patience with me beyond measure ;) We got hitched in 2014 in a gorgeous vineyard on the north fork of Long Island, one of my fave places ever! We became puppy parents to our dogs Shamus (the big one) & Daisy (the little one) over a span of 2 years, and in 2018, our dreams literally came true when we adopted our sweet babe, Xavier. That story could take up 80 pages, but I will simply say this boy lights up my heart with fireworks, heals with his laughter, and consistently shows me that joy that can be found in the simplest things! He is the single most hugged and kissed human being on the planet as far as I’m concerned ;) As for me, I am a HUGGER! I love to see people smile and laugh, especially when they gasp at something that delights them or sparks a memory. Meeting new people and connecting with them on any level is like Christmas morning for me (...which just happens to be my favorite holiday ;)) I am a striving vegan, thanks to Skinny Bitch. Yoga, music (anything but country- sorry peeps), connecting with friends, spending a great day on the weekend with family, having a delicious oat milk latte - mmm! God has been good to me in so many ways, and I am excited about what he has in store!

I live every day like it's my last, and love taking on challenges. Life would be so boring otherwise!!

With all of that being said... I will share with you some words that were generously spoken by someone who is much better with words than I, and who I look forward to taking pictures of for a very long time!...

"Stacy Marie is a photographer at heart...Spend some time with her and you will see; she will light up a room with nothing more than her exuberance for life in both its grandness and minutiae but no matter the company or the circumstances, she has one constant thought ...

"THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT PICTURE!"

And she is right. Her inherent instinct for composition and emotion combine with her technical skills to enable her to capture the essence of any given moment. It is as if she, more than the rest of us, can recognize and record the beauty that is often overlooked.

Anyone who has ever met Stacy is aware of her irrepressible sense of fun and creativity. These qualities, when found in a true professional, encourage an environment in which the subject is comfortable and confident, secure in both the process and the product to come. For this reason, Stacy has been selected for many varieties of clientele...there is no type that restricts her passion, as she openly encourages everyone to have fun with her and her camera.

Photography is an expression. Anyone can take a picture. It is the photographer's sense of style that creates the perfect mixture of subject, place, and feeling. The images created by Stacy Marie are products of her unique style, born of not only her eye and her hand but, above all, her heart."
