I’m so glad you found me. My name is Lacey and I am a photographer who takes portraits of families, high school seniors, bands, professionals, newborns, pets, fiancés, and brides and grooms using old school 35 mm and medium format film. I know that having your picture taken can be a vulnerable experience, so I want you to have an idea of who the person is behind the camera.

I’ve come to this role as a portrait photographer after working for over 20 years in New York City as a Photo Editor for magazines. I now live a quieter life with my baby and senior rescue hound on the Connecticut shoreline, happily reunited with New England which I’ve held in my heart since I went to school in Providence at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).

I am a laid back person who also gets all the boxes checked on the to do list. I am gifted at reading the room and am very sensitive to people’s needs. Baby blowouts and toddler meltdowns do not phase me. I am a mother but I have also put a lot of time into meditation and mindfulness work :)

I am enthusiastic about working with all ages, identities, body types, family types, and dis/abilities. If you’d like to include an animal friend in any of your images, even better, I’ll bring the treats!

Here are some of the locations I serve as a photographer: New Haven, Stanford, Hartford, Shoreline, Connecticut. Also: Rhode Island, the Berkshires and Western Massachusetts, parts of New York (including New York City, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley). Bottom line: just ask!

Personal Tidbits: In case this means something to you: I’m a Libra sun, Taurus rising, Pisces moon. I am a dual citizen with my second citizenship in Ireland (my son is named after my Irish grandfather). My favorite movies are Hitchcock’s Rebecca, and Muppets Take Manhattan. When I was 19, I had a summer job as a backup dancer for an Elvis impersonator in upstate New York (and I still love to dance!)
