She has worked for more than two decades photographing architecture, interiors and landscapes. Stacy also published two bestselling monographs celebrating the American garden: In the Garden and Gardens at First Light. Following the tragic death of her father in a plane crash 30 years ago, Stacy started to explore what lies outside of the frame—using family photographs as a portal into memory and the writing of those memories as a way of processing grief, Lightkeeper: A Memoir Through the Lens of Love and Loss embodies that work, and more.
