Hey, hello, hola!

Hey there, my name is Stacia, but I can go by Staci. And yes, my mom does have it going on.

I am a lifestyle photographer based in Southwest Michigan + the Dominican Republic specializing in weddings and elopements (but so happy to document any special moment or stage of your life!). I never planned on photography becoming my career- in fact I went to school for marketing and event planning. But it has been one of the biggest blessings. Dear Olive was born in 2015 after accepting an inquiry to photograph a wedding from a high school friend, since then I have photographed 150+ weddings.

I am married to my muy caliente Dominican husband and because he still lives there I travel back and forth frequently between the DR and Michigan with our sweet + wild 2 year old! I hit the jackpot and became a snowbird before the age of 30!

The best part of this job is all of the people I get to meet and the stories that I get to witness. I consider this job to be an incredible honor and would love to witness your story.

A few fun facts about me!

  • My favorite ice cream flavor is Cappuccino, specifically from Sherman’s Dairy.

  • I have two dogs, Eugene + Franklin.

  • I love a good margarita!

  • The ocean + Lake Michigan are my happy place.

  • The music I listen to ranges from Bad Bunny, Cardi B, Taylor Swift, and Chris Stapleton.
