Featured In

Though I am Arizona- based, I’m ready to travel! When we work together, you should know, I am not looking for the most Pinterest worthy outfits, perfect poses or to fit a trend. What I am after is capturing the real beauty of everyday life. Because I am making art for you, my focus is on who you are and genuine connection and emotions. I am your go to photographer for families, couples and weddings. I love it all, and I have 12+ years of experience. Whether we are photographing just because or for a special life event, it is all worth capturing.

LACEY PHILLIPS - YOUNGS

Let’s connect!

Your life is worth remembering.

As a child, I remember sneaking into my moms closet and pulling out all her photo albums. They were these massive, frilly, fabric -bound books filled with tons of glossy prints perfectly organized by the years. The amount of times I got in trouble for stealing photographs out of them and not placing them back where they belong… I can’t count honestly. But I fell in love with photography at a young age watching my mom with her film camera at birthdays, Christmas and sometimes just when we were having an ordinary day.

Photography still amazes me. It pauses life and forever records it. If I wondered about my grandma whom I never met, well there she was alive and young with curly, dark hair and glowing olive skin. I loved seeing my uncles and aunts as teens looking like they just finished laughing hard together. My mom holding us kids with her long, permed hair and oversized 90’s t-shirts. The landscapes of Colorado where my dad was raised…

There is something magical about photographs. and I’m a sucker for nostalgia. So I photograph everything that I know I will one day miss. Because eventually the memories dim a bit and finding a photo that reminds me of who I was at that time in my life, what it felt like to be there, seeing my loved ones again, it brings the memories back to life.

The people. The place. The emotion. It’s all worth remembering. No matter how big or small. Our lives are worth remembering and passing down to the next generation.

  • Lacey is so kind, sincere and professional! “She really captured the love between my husband and I, and the joy we have as we await our son’s arrival. We loved working with her and can’t wait to use her again as our family grows! She gave us themes precious photos we will cherish forever.””

  • Lacey is a true artist! I cannot say enough good things about her work- from the actual photo shoot to the final product. She has a way of making even the most awkward of people (aka me) feel comfortable in front of the camera, and every picture is pure perfection. So happy to have a local photographer I trust to capture family photos for years to come.

    Leah Ann T.

  • “Lacey was so great! We called each other on Facetime a few weeks before so she could get to know us a little bit, and then she really guided us throughout the whole shoot (since we had no idea what to do haha). Her pictures are AMAZING and I am definitely using her for more shoots in the future of our family! Thank you again Lacey!!”

My boyfriend and I are not photogenic but she made every photo feel effortless — She has done sessions for our entire family for various needs/occasions and Our expectations have always been outdone!

Always excited to see more and more photos she has taken. She has a vision of what she wants in photos and she does an amazing job.”

I feel so lucky to have found Lacey and will use her as a photographer to capture all of our special moments.”

    Lexi S.

  • “Wow! Lacey is so incredibly talented. I have gotten nothing but wonderful compliments on the couple session she shot for us, and although we had a ton of cute props/location during our shoot I know so much of it is because of Lacey! She captured us just being “us.” From first meeting her at the beginning of our shoot, till even to this day she makes you feel special and comfortable (that’s a great thing considering I hate getting my picture taken!) Lacey captures the special moments in a natural way. If you’re looking for great photo experience definitely contact Lacey Bee Photography”

  • “Lacey’s photography has always been my favorite! I’ve known her since high school and there was not one day that I didn’t see a camera, book, or pencil and paper in her hand. Her creativity and imagination is out of this world! When I got engaged, there was no doubt she was my first choice! She has such a simplicity to her photos, yet they always leave you wanting more. She captures what is most necessary and not just what you would expect to see in a photo. She is the most artistic person I know and you would not be disappointed with her as your photographer.”

I literally started tearing up because of how beautiful our photos are.They are the family photos of my dreams, and my little ol heart is so happy because they are so special. Every time I look at these I will instantly remember Valentina at this stage. Her strong obsession with flowers. Her sassiness. I’ll instantly remember how excited we were at that point, before the newest addition of our family arrives. Thank you so much for perfectly capturing us during one of the most special seasons of our lives! And for making it so easy! 30 minutes into our drive home Brandon and I both realized how comfortable we were with you. We talked about the session the whole way home. I’m so looking forward to doing it again :) ”

For such a large family (family of 13), she made it work and the photo shoot was not stressful at all. Lacey is a photographer that makes a photo shoot fun! Once we received the photos, there were so many to choose from. Each of my family members were able to pick great shots to print. I highly recommend Lacey if you’re considering a family photo shoot!”
