GET TO KNOW LACY CLAGG PHOTOGRAPHY-
Lacy's love for photography began in 1999 when she embarked on a journey at IU, immersing herself in courses that not only honed her skills in marketing and business but also ignited her passion for capturing moments through the lens. Her dedication to continuous learning led her to explore various aspects of photography, from mastering the art of composition to refining her editing prowess in both traditional darkrooms and digital platforms like Lightroom and Photoshop.
Photography is more than just a hobby for Lacy; it's a lifelong passion that has shaped her journey since her college days. With a blend of artistic vision, technical expertise, and a heart for community, Lacy has forged a remarkable path in the world of photography. Lacy is based in Indianapolis, IN.
One thing we love about Lacy is her passion for photography extends to making a difference in her community. Her heart finds joy in capturing the innocence and wonder of small children and infants through her collaborations with non-profit organizations. Through her lens, she not only freezes moments in time but also tells stories of hope, resilience, and love.
When not focused on photography, Lacy finds downtime in simple pleasures like baking, crafting, and diving into the pages of a good book with a steaming cup of coffee by her side.
