Stacey, a Modesto, CA resident, has been a lover of photography since the 8th grade but “didn’t really start to delve into this art until the last couple of years.” With her Nikon D700 and assortment of prime lenses, her photographical motivation is to capture the essence of her children which are most commonly her subjects. When not divulging in photography, she enjoys the occasional good book, sleeping in, and spending time with friends, usually a lunch date or a movie. Stacey also admits to loving her huge washer and dryer where she can get the piles of laundry for her husband and 4 children done “splikity split.”

Love this so much, Stacey!! I thought I knew you pretty well, but you got me with that dance party pic, lol!! Wonderful interview!!
Love your space. I would love to know where you got the organizers that your lenses are sitting in.
Almost everything is from Ikea. The shelving, the drawers and the inserts that my lenses sit in. :)
I envy your organization (office) and your dedication (running) – outstanding on both fronts! I would love to hear your sources for your lens storage.
That pic with the undies makes me love you even more, Stacey! <3
Stacey, you are such a doll and an inspiration! Your workspace is so spacious, well-organized, and beautiful too. Way to go on the marathon!!! And the photo with your son is a treasure.
What a great share!! Absolutely love the dancing-undies pic and admire the drive and commitment you have to do a marathon!
Congrats on your marathon run! What an achievement! LOVE the ‘undies’ shot! Thanks for sharing this with us!
So inspiring. Where in Wyoming did you grow up? I’m from Worland, but live in Casper now and I totally know what your talking about. :)
So awesome Stacey! Was so excited to finally meet you in person this year :) I’m a little jealous of how organized your workspace is — looks great. Please tell me that you did a “really” good clean before taking the pic to share with us – ha!
This was fun to read Stacey!
Stacey, I am dying to know where you got your desks I have been looking for some just like it for a long time. Could you please share where you got them?
Hi Kate! I got those from Ikea. I purchased them in separate pieces. I believe the top is actually a ‘table’ top, not a desk top. Its two small shelves that serve as the legs. :)
Ah! Thanks so much! I am so excited they have them in white too. Thanks again!
