I cannot recommend Lacee Smith enough! She did both of my babies newborn sessions and to say they were breath taking is an understatement. She is so professional and so kind.

No matter how chaotic it feels the day of photos with little ones, Lacee always captures my children beautifully. She is calm during the shoot and has tricks up her to sleeve to always make it go well. In addition to her demeanor and atmosphere always being wonderful for children, her photos are hands down the best…

We did a mini Santa session and absolutely loved it! She got my daughter to actually look at the camera and gave amazing direction in the short time we were there. I was so caught in the moment and didn’t get any behind the scenes, but I have never left a shoot feeling this good about the pictures. So excited to see…

I cannot recommend Lacee Smith enough! She did both of my babies newborn sessions and to say they were breath taking is an understatement. She is so professional and so kind. She was able to get my 3 year old son to smile even though he was a bit grumpy at his baby sisters session. I still tear up when looking at the photos she captured of my son with his new baby sister. They are photos I will forever cherish. To say we love Lacee and enjoyed both of my experiences with her would be an understatement. I am looking forward to booking our next milestone session with her!

She is calm during the shoot and has tricks up her to sleeve to always make it go well. In addition to her demeanor and atmosphere always being wonderful for children, her photos are hands down the best I’ve ever had. Wonderfully and mindfully edited. I always enjoy getting my gallery back and filling my home with her beautiful photos.

We absolutely adore Lacee! She has been with us through so many of our most meaningful moments — from capturing our maternity photos, to our daughter’s birth, her newborn session, and now her 6-month and Santa pictures. Every time, she manages to capture the emotion and love in such a beautiful, genuine way.
She makes us feel so comfortable and relaxed, even during the unpredictable moments that come with babies. Her patience, warmth, and eye for detail shine through in every single photo. We’ve loved every gallery she’s created and love how each album flows seamlessly together. We cannot wait to see the albums she’s been working on. Highly recommend!

I could never recommend Lacee enough. I’m
So happy I stumbled across her page when we had our son two years ago. We have continued to use her from newborn pictures to family pictures to Christmas and Santa pictures. She truly is the greatest and creates pure magic!! The photos Lacee has taken over the years of our family are pictures that I will cherish forever. They are beyond beautiful.

We first did a Lux Santa session with our newborn, and we’ve been hooked ever since! It’s such a magical experience, and we’re so excited for the session again this year now that she’s a year older. It’s become our holiday tradition.
After such a great experience with her Santa session, we then did a combo 6-month-old baby /40-year-old mom session. :) I absolutely love Lacee’s vision and her photos, but what I love even more is the whole experience. As a new mom, it’s hard to find time to shop for clothes, do hair and makeup, and then print, frame, and hang photos, but Lacee takes care of all of that. Honestly, without that, we probably still wouldn't have any photos hung. She makes everything so easy and fun!
We always get compliments on our photo wall, and our little one loves looking at them and pointing at herself in the pictures. They bring so much joy and happiness into our home.
We love Lacee Smith Photography!
