MEET STACIE
Stacie loves flowers. But what does Stacie love more than flowers? Photography. Capturing beauty in all of it's forms is something she has always been a natural at, but has honed over the years as a wedding photographer. Whether it's the first kiss on a wedding day, the way the sunlight breaks through the clouds on a gloomy afternoon, or the innate beauty of humans of all kinds, Stacie knows how to capture a photo that conveys the true, real beauty of what's in front of her lens.
Stacie finds the most joy in sharing her art and gift for seeing beauty all around and you'll often find her sharing a special moment huddled behind her camera with her clients as they exclaim "wow, we look so good in these!"
In her free time, Stacie can be found enjoying the surfing and the sun in San Diego, or trying her hand at other creative pursuits such as sewing and candle making.

When we receive your inquiry form, we will schedule a time to meet with you virtually to discuss your vision and craft a package that best suits your needs and wants. Upon booking with a 50 percent deposit and signed contract, we will be in touch via email to keep you updated on progress, plans, and letting you know anything you would need to do or bring to prepare for your session.
In order to keep costs down for clients, our sessions take place at Natalie's home in Spring Valley. If you would like to rent out a studio instead, we can discuss that and the associated cost.
You'll arrive to your session at the specified time in your contract. Typically we will allot 1-2 hours for Alexis to work hair and makeup magic; additional time may be required for more intricate work or floral applications to the body.
Finally, you will step in front of the camera for your session with Stacie. Don't worry, Stacie and the team will guide you into your best poses and expressions so you don't need to worry about feeling awkward.
We like to keep the sessions fun, so feel free to bring snacks and drinks if you would like, but we will have some on hand as well. We will also provide a few different playlist options to help you get into your groove.
When the photo session concludes, you're all done! You'll be able to keep any of your floral pieces you'd like and we will clean up the rest.
Your photos will be ready for you within 2 weeks of your session date. Photos will be delivered in a password protected online gallery where you can download high resolution JPG files or order prints directly.
If you'd like to create an album, you can let us know and we can assist you in crafting the perfect physical memoir of your Bloomdoir experience. You'll get to pick how many pages you want, which images we use, the color and material of the cover, and have the final approval of the layout.
