Welcome!
Stacy is an award winning wildlife and nature conservation photographer. She grew up in southwestern Montana, in the heart of the Pintler Wilderness. As a child, she spent hours in the mountains with her father, who taught her to have a great reverence for the land and the wildlife they share it with. He was a quiet, stoic man, but his childlike love and enthusiasm for the natural world made an indelible impression on her. Her first visit to Yellowstone was seen through his eyes. He often told her how bald eagles, wolves and grizzlies all had been a part of the landscape at one time, and how he longed to see them as part of it again. Her father didn’t live to see those days come to pass, but each time she visits Yellowstone, she thinks of him, and it feels a bit like a homecoming. "To step onto that wild landscape, in the chill of the early morning, the mist rising from the river, to thrill at hearing the joyful howls of the wolves as they greet the sun, to see the mother grizzly gently embracing her cubs, to hear the cry of the bald eagle overhead as it drifts lazily above the low morning clouds, that to me, is heaven, and I can feel him there with me…" Her mission is advocacy and she donates her time and her images to causes that work to protect and restore the balance of the precious world we inhabit. If you see work on her site or social media that you would like to use towards that end, please reach out to her on the "contact" page.
