I'm Staci Welch, and taking photographs is my favorite job in the whole wide world! I really can't imagine doing anything else in my life that I would be more passionate about. I get to make new friends, then capture their personalities in places that challenge me to keep learning and practicing my art! I love the freedom and the ability to create art from a perfect moment captured!
Feel free to come in, have a seat and stay a while!
Last week I shot the adorable Caitlin & Michael! I just loved being in their presence. They are just so cute together…a little feisty, a little love-y, a lot silly! I’m SO excited about their October wedding! It’s sure to be more of the same!
Here’s a couple of my favorites from the day…
Monday Zandra & I went out to shoot her much anticipated Senior Session. And, yep, this girl is graduating THIS year! We waited ’till the last minute for a very important reason. You see, after many years of orthodontic care Zandra was finally was free! The braces were removed, and taking her Senior Pictures was at the top of her to-do list. The closer the time got to her appointment, the closer a storm cloud rolled into the area. We managed to outsmart it, while getting some great shots!
Here are just a few of my favorites…
Zandra, thanks for sharing your Senior experience with me! I wish you lots great memories over your next year in Denmark, and many years after! 
I can honestly say that I LOVE people! That is one of my favorite things about being a photographer. I get to spend a great deal of my time figuring out how to bring out the best in people. My number one priority is to make them feel at home, enough to be themselves…truly.
I have met some really great families throughout my life, and The Meeker’s are just one of them. I first met Herb & Karen when I stopped by their log-accented professional building, to inquire upon office rental space. It worked out well because I’ve considered it my second home for almost two years now. The Meeker’s are a very close, grounded family consisting of four boys, all but one married. Recently, there has been a few changes in the family. One branch is relocating, and one has a new ‘bud’. Monday we set out to capture their family dynamics on a piece of family property. Having not seen it, I wasn’t quite sure how the early-evening sun would cooperate. I couldn’t have been more happy when I arrived and noticed the sun flooding down through the giant oak & sycamore trees.
Here are a few of my favorites from the session…
