“Stacy is so much more than a photography consultant, she’s a photo therapist.”

Brands are belief systems.

I’ve worked with hundreds of photographers during my time as a photo editor and creative consultant, and I will say this: If your brand isn’t strong enough for someone to believe in hiring you, it’s going to be hard to gain momentum in this ever evolving industry.

Let me help you meet your potential.

  • Three women standing close together outdoors during sunlight, facing the camera with confident expressions.

    “I reached out to Stacy years ago, at the very beginning of my career as a commercial photographer, and worked with her on helping me curate my very first portfolio. Since then, we've worked together countless times and I am thrilled to report that, because of her thoughtfulness and guidance helping me align my goals with my portfolio, I've built a successful career. I continue to work with Stacy on my portfolio edits and have found her wisdom and support to be one of the most valuable investments I've made! Thank you, Stacy!”

  • Multiple glasses containing lemon beverages with lemon slices, seen from above on a pink surface.

    “It’s hard to summarize all the ways that Stacy Swiderski has changed my life and my career. It all started with a website overhaul. Stacy knew I was capable of getting national clients with the work I already had, I just wasn’t presenting it in the right way. Since this one website update, I get multiple monthly inquiries, hundreds of hits on my websites, and most importantly I’m now booking national clients. Her constant encouragement reminds me that ‘it’s all progress’ and that I’m ‘on my way’.  I can’t say enough about this wonderful woman who I’m now lucky to call my friend.”

  • Front view of a house with a lawn, featuring a combination of stone and wood siding, a covered porch supported by white columns, and surrounded by green trees and shrubs.

    “Stacy is a rockstar photo consultant with the patience of a saint. Honest and authentic in her approach, she worked with me to develop a beautiful site redesign and image edit. We then worked together in refining my client acquisition and outreach strategy, complete with a LinkedIn profile update and social media cleanup. She answered all questions and helped me through the process with ease. I couldn’t be happier with our work together and look forwarding to working with her in the years to come.”

    “Stacy has been with me at a foundational level throughout the ebbs and flows of my career. She has not only helped lay out my photography in a concise way, but also provided the platform to showcase the work to the right people. She has been a vital ear to bend, mind to learn from, and I’m privileged to have had her as a resource over the years.”

  • A person climbing a steep outdoor trail, wearing shorts, running shoes, and a long sleeve shirt, with tree branches and dirt visible around them.

    “Stacy’s help with my new website edit and my LinkedIn presence has been immeasurable. Her LinkedIn webinar helped me immensely. I’ve grown my connections (with people directly in my field) and have a 10% engagement rate with personalized messages. I’ve also seen the traffic on my site drastically increase, with the majority of it coming straight from my LinkedIn messages. I can’t express how valuable her insight has been to me. It has finally allowed me to get my work in front of the decision makers of this industry.”

    Stacy is one of those awesome people that are so important to have on your side as a photographer. Over the years she’s helped me with everything from website edits to promo edits, social media ideas and ton of other stuff. She has an incredible eye for stories and has a unique ability to find images that just work together. She also has a really polite way of telling you when something’s not working and can steer you in a direction that will make it work. All this plus she’s just a really really nice person. Definitely get her on your team.

    “Stacy, I just wanted to thank you for the website edit. We have done this three years now and when I look at how far my brand has come, I realize this is in big part due to you and your insight. I once had a client tell me, ‘I love your website. It’s like a quilt with all the pieces woven together — I couldn’t stop looking at it!’. That is your vision and I am forever grateful.”
