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

Roethler Family Portraits | Chicago Family Portrait Photographer

The Roethlers hold a very special place in my heart. They were one of the FIRST families who hired me as a photographer after their oldest was born and I’ve had the honor of documenting so many memories and milestones for them ever since. It makes me smile to know despite the fact I no longer live in Iowa City, I still get to photograph them!! I truly mean it when I say they are just some of the nicest and most kind people I know. It’s always a pleasure to photograph them and I LOVE how their portraits turned out. Their girls love playing dress up together so at the end of the session we took some fun, whimsical portraits capturing their love of dress up (too cute!).

Hope everyone had a happy weekend and ENJOY!

Maddie; Chicago Senior Portrait Photographer

Maddie and her family came from out of town to have her senior portraits taken downtown Chicago and they were just the most sweet and fun family to work with!! I love their zest and spirit and it was more than a pleasure to get to work with Maddie and meet them all. Despite one of the foggiest days in Chicago, the weather was otherwise cooperative for a spring day and we got some gorgeous pictures at various locations downtown. Photo sessions are always a fun adventure and this session definitely counts. We walked along Michigan Ave, saw some interesting sights and found some great spots to photograph at! They wrapped up the session by grabbing some dinner before heading out of town which, being the food lover I am, I think is a great way to end a session. Congratulations on Graduating Maddie and enjoy!!

James; Chicago Senior Portrait Photographer

James is just one of the most naturally easy going, personable and friendly people I’ve met! He took something like an 11hour train ride to visit Chicago and have his portraits taken here. I love that he knew what he wanted and went for it! His session was a blast and went by in what seemed like a blink of an eye..time really does fly when you’re having fun. Despite a VERY foggy day, we got some great portraits by the skyline and around the shore. I love all the different looks we got from going to just one location!

James, it was so nice to meet you and your family..I think your pictures turned out awesome and can’t wait for you to see them! Congrats on graduating and the next phase. Enjoy!

Jill; Chicago and Evanston Senior Portrait Photographer

Where do I begin?!! I met Jill and her mother downtown at one of my new favorite places to photograph, a gorgeous store called Lightology. I really can’t say nice enough things about them both, not only were they fun to work with but they are some of the most genuinely nice and wonderful people I’ve met! We talked about so many things and the end of our session felt more like I was saying goodbye to good friends.

When Jill and I first spoke, she knew she wanted portraits indoors and I think it’s great she had such a clear vision. I just LOVE how they turned out and I hope she does too. Enjoy!!

Shua; Chicago Senior Portrait Photographer

I’ve been blessed with SO many amazing seniors so far this year and Shua is no exception! I love when I walk away from a session feeling like I’ve made a new friend (and some great tips on how to do an amazing bun)! Despite some crazy weekend traffic we ran into downtown, Shua was fun and easy to work with and her pictures turned out beautifully! She is absolutely stunning and so are her portraits. I love her traditional Indian dress by the skyline!!

Thank you Shua, for picking me to be your senior portrait photographer and for being such an amazing person.
