Stacie Kemp Photography Blog bio picture
  • Welcome

    I'm so happy you are here! My name is Stacie Kemp, I'm an Iowa girl who married and uprooted myself and business to Chicago, IL. I love family, friends, food, fashion and capturing life's moments involving all of the above!

    My love affair with photography began in college. Do you know that magical feeling you get when you wake up Christmas morning? That's the feeling I get every time I photograph, every time I capture the essence of someone's personality, the love between couples and families, the awe and wonder of a child. I'm passionate about my art and about capturing every fun, exciting, silly, fashionable, quiet, romantic and crazy moment of life.

    If you'd like to schedule a session, I'd love to hear from you! I strive to make every session unique and special to you. Please contact me at 115,116,97,99,105,101,107,101,109,112,112,104,111,116,111,103,114,97,112,104,121,64,103,109,97,105,108,46,99,111,109,46.moc.liamg@yhpargotohppmekeicats

Ashley + John; Iowa City and Chicago Portrait Photographer

I first met Ashley when I was wedding planning a few years ago. She worked at a jewelry store and was key in helping me to pick out and design jewelry for myself, my mother and bridesmaids. Ashley has such an eye for fashion and the jewelry turned out stunning!! Ashley and I always did a lot of chit-chatting and I was sad when the designing came to an end however I still run into her from time to time and was SO excited when we got started talking about doing this fun photo shoot! Ashley wanted to do two themes that spoke to both her and her husband’s personalities. The first was on John’s family’s gorgeous land with one of their horses and the second was a Mad Men inspired shoot at Wildcat Den Park in Iowa, Swoon!! I heart their pictures and love that I get to meet and photograph people who are as kind and warm hearted as the two of them.

The Hodges; Chicago Maternity Portrait Photographer

One of the best things about moving to Chicago this past year was the fact that my brother and sister in law live just a short distance away. Shortly after the new year, Jeff and Meghan announced that they were expecting parents. I was so excited!! This past summer we walked around Bucktown and took some cute Maternity portraits. Luckily we got most of the portraits in before it it began pouring rain! This past week my new little nephew arrived and it’s been an absolutely amazing experience for my family. I can’t wait to photograph their first family portrait! Congratulations Jeff and Meghan.

The Nwakanma Family; Chicago Family Portrait Photographer

The Nwakanma family are the definition of the saying “The family that plays together stays together!” I had a blast photographing them and think it’s evident by the photographs how much fun and joy they share. We met at the Lincoln Park Conservatory which has beautiful landscaped grounds and then walked to the surrounding areas. We found some cool spots to photograph and had a ton of fun trying out different poses, I LOVE my job!! The Nwakanma family, thank you for allowing me to capture the essence of your family, enjoy!

P.S. Chiagoziem also happens to be an amazing model and actress! You can find her on Model Mayhem here.

Sehee & Nathan’s Wedding; Iowa City and Chicago Wedding Photographer

Sehee and Nathan got married on the most gorgeous July day at the Cedar Ridge Vineyards in Swisher, Iowa. I lived in Iowa City for 8 years and wished I had known about Cedar Ridge. To all my Iowa City/Cedar Rapids friends, it would be the perfect date night activity! Back to wedding gorgeousness..I lived with Sehee during the time she met and fell in love with Nathan. Watching their love grow and then being able to document and share one of the most special days of their lives meant SO much to me. Not only are they gorgeous on the outside, but truly they are gorgeous on the inside as well. They both did a stellar job wedding planning and it was awesome seeing everything come together.

Sehee and Nathan, congratulations and thank you for allowing me to be part of your day. I hope you enjoy your portraits for years to come. Cheers!
