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

Scooters Frozen Custard, Chicago

If you love custard, you MUST go to Scooters in the Lakeview neighborhood. They were awarded with the title “Best Custard in Chicago” in 2010. Every time I made a visit to Chicago in the 3 years before I moved, this was a must stop on the list of things to do. Now it’s a must stop every week! It’s totally worth it. Make sure you visit them before December 3rd though, they close during winter so fill up while you can! (I recommend the s’mores concrete)

Kelly Moore Bag!

Some people might think it’s silly to write a whole blog post about a bag but these just deserve a whole post to themselves! Kelly Moore is an amazing photographer who decided that there was a shortage of cute camera bags in the world so she designed these beautiful bags that were just begging to be photographed. After ogling for months, I broke down and bought the Classic in muted teal but couldn’t keep away from the playful Posey which I just received today! There are lots more at kellymoorebag.com for all you photogs out there. Yay for looking stylish while carrying your camera equipment!

Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour this weekend, it’s daylight savings!

Mandy - Ooo… I’ve haven’t seen this particular type of bag before. I LOVE the teal one!

Heather Lynne - Hey Stacie,
I’m planning to order a b-hobo bag & I’m debating between the two colours that you have your bags in. Do you find that one or the other seems more durable? Or do they feel the same, just different colours?

Lisa + Chris, Iowa City Wedding Photographer

This past weekend, our good friend’s Lisa and Chris tied the knot at Festhall Barn in the Amana Colonies! There was 60% chance rain but they lucked out and it turned out to be a gorgeous fall day! The ceremony was beautiful, Lisa put a ton of thought into every little detail. I stole the bride and groom away for a few shots and snapped some other candids from the day. Congratulations you two!!
