“A good life is a collection of happy memories.”-Denis Waitley
Do you ever feel like the days are flying by too quickly? Do you sometimes wish that you could hit pause temporarily, to freeze time and never forget this season of your life? Photographs can do just that. They can offer us a permanent reminder of a single moment. Life should be celebrated, not just on the special occasions, but also the everyday moments that speed by in the blink of an eye. This is why I am so passionate about what I do!
When I look back through old pictures of myself and my family, I cringe when I see images with stiff posing and fake smiles. The ones that warm my heart are the images where we are connecting with each other in a real and authentic way. Holding hands, snuggling, laughing, or even a child deep in thought…those are the photographs that bring me joy and that is what I want to give you. Rather than arranging you in awkward positions and asking you to smile until your face hurts, I will gently guide you in a fun and relaxed way. Some of the absolute best shots happen from the moments in between, when you least expect it.
About me: Hi, I’m Stacy Gibson. I married my high school sweetheart in 1994 and am still crazy about him. We have two daughters and a precious granddaughter. We live on a small farm in Graham, WA with dogs, cats, horses and wildlife. I love documenting life on the farm with my camera. Photography has always fascinated me and when Covid slowed life down, I decided to pour my heart and soul into learning everything that I could about it. Looking at life through the lens of my camera, I see God’s beauty and magic everywhere.

Stacy is THE BEST!!!!! Not only does she take AMAZING photos, she helps everyone feel comfortable! She was so good at helping my daughter come out of her shell. I truly enjoyed watching the process. I was in awe the entire time and just so excited to see the results. I definitely recommend Stacy, and look forward to my next opportunity to have some pictures taken. Thank you Capturing the Light!!!

Stacy is so talented. She is very interactive with her clients and has very creative ideas for photos. She doesn't just tell you how to pose she takes real live moments which, in my opinion, makes for better photos. She also gives you more photos than expected. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family. 5 star review for sure.

Having Stacy take family pictures for us was a wonderful experience! Stacy worked fast to keep my multiple kids engaged and playful throughout, plus her energy was the perfect balance between calm and enthusiastic. But most of all, her Creativity as a photographer is what makes her stand out. She was extremely helpful in picking out styles/themes for clothing in pictures, that looked stunning in both color and black & white. And while most people can take photos these days, not everyone is an Artist. Stacy IS an ARTIST! She succeeds in truly capturing magical moments in Time that you will treasure FOREVER!

Stacy is absolutely amazing!!! We cannot recommend her enough, as a matter of fact we are hiring her to do our family photos as well. Her ability to capture these brief, beautiful moments in time is what sets her apart from everyone else. From the moment we contacted her, she set our minds at ease, Stacy came and met with us and our son to set the tone for his senior pictures and she immediately connected with him and began to formulate his session. The results were stunning to say the least, Stacy is simply a brilliant photographer who creates forever moments.
