I knew from the start of the year that I wanted to learn about and begin a mailing list! As I’ve begun getting into my rhythm, the realization hit me that the purpose of my newsletter is twofold. 1) Informational The first week of every month I send out an email to those who are […]

Many of my families and couples express how excited (and sometimes equally nervous) they are for their session. As your photographer, it’s not only my goal to give you images that you love but just as important, to give you an experience that matches it! And one of the best ways that I know how […]

As you plan and prepare for your session–whether it’s a family shoot, for your high school senior pictures or need ideas for your wedding–inspiration might be closer than you think! If you click over to Lacey Rene Studios Pinterest page (FIND IT HERE) you’ll see a board titled “Own It!” Open it. I dare you! […]

Recently I was emailing one of my sweet clients who wanted to book a family session with me but was in a dilemma. She wanted to book her shoot in the near future so that we could capture her little guy before he got too big, but she also wanted the shoot to feel like it was […]

If a session is like Star Wars, then choosing the perfect outfit is like Darth Vader or Yoda or Luke Skywalker! (Wow. Michael is going to be so proud! I just made a Star Wars reference! Actually….I’m proud!) 😉 Basically, without them the entire mood is gone. No characters, no movie. Poor outfit choice, poor photo […]

From your comfort level to your photo quality to your enjoyment to your relaxation. Here it is, lean in close. This is it…. “I trust you.” Recently I was shooting a sweet bride’s wedding. I had gotten […]

Anyone who knows Michael and I know that WE. LOVE. OUR DOG! (I mean, can you blame us? He’s adorable!!!! See his puppy pictures HERE! And we don’t have kids yet, so this head over heels love is completely acceptable right??) 😉 So when my incredible clients ask if they can bring their dogs to their […]

So if you missed the first post–stop now and read it HERE! No seriously. Do. These two posts go hand in hand with one another so to understand one you must read the other! You did it? Well why didn’t you say so before? 😉 At this point you have already determined the feel you […]

There are two major things that can either make or break your photo session. Seriously guys. MAKE. OR. BREAK! (And because the second one needs a blog post devoted entirely to itself–and I’m one for surprises, I’m only going to tell you the first today!) One word. Location. What location you choose creates the ambiance that will produce the […]

I cannot believe that Mother’s Day is right around the corner!!!! That means it’s time for outside patio dinners, warmer weather & fireflies (one of my favorite things! Ask Michael…I could sit outside and watch them light up our yard all night! I grew up in Colorado which means lightning bugs were a magical new world to me when we moved here!) Mother’s Day means it’s time for…
