Your imagery should be selling your products and services for you. As creatives, we have many different passions.
We’re creatives, storytellers, adventurers, and entrepreneurs. We value professional branding and a cohesive message, but we also understand the adventurous spirit of the creative journey.
Are you tired of using your camera phone?
Do you find your images lack something, or are you frustrated with constantly trying to find that perfect image to take? We get it; that’s why we’re here to provide reliable, clean, and custom-branded content. Your imagery should be selling itself: more bookings, more products, and dream clients.
We offer a one-stop solution that takes the worry out of your never-ending content needs.
Maybe you’re a brick-and-mortar retailer with ever-changing inventory that you sell online. Or are you a restaurant owner who wants real-life, taste-bud-filled imagery to fill the restaurant fast? Maybe you’re a business coach wanting to portray your one-of-a-kind personality and coaching skills. We know your time is valuable, and we understand your entrepreneurial struggle. You should be leading and growing your business, not setting up angles and scenes.
Duluth Studio Company was conceived by Stacey LaCoursiere while she was running her past wedding and portrait photography business. As she started getting requests for commercial work, she was inspired by the individuality of each project and wanted to help unify brands’ visual content. From there, the company grew to include video production and brand consulting. We provide different perspectives, ideas, and skills to give our clients the best branding experience possible. Let’s work together, have some fun, and create content you can be proud of.
MEET THE TEAM
STACEY
OWNER + MULTIMEDIA PHOTOGRAPHER
Every session you book will involve Stacey as your primary creative and communicator. Whether she’s creating, working with our sister company, Duluth Studio Market, or pouring candles in her free time, her drive is to create something beautiful.
Stacey has lived in nearly every corner of the U.S. and met her husband, a Duluth native, while visiting family in Minnesota. After they bounced from state to state together, they moved back to Duluth in 2003 and started their family. She loves Duluth for being a city that doesn’t feel like a city, but she’s also very proud of having lived in so many different places. Her travel has given her perspective and experience that she brings to her business. Other than being an entrepreneur, mother, and photographer, she also enjoys gardening, interior design, traveling, and camping. Stacey currently owns and operates Duluth Studio Co., Duluth Studio Market, and LakeSide Wax Works while also offering mentoring sessions for aspiring photographers and business owners alike.
MITCH
SECOND MULTIMEDIA CREATIVE
Sometimes a big job calls for another multi-talented artist. When that’s the case, Mitch is usually the one to save the day. Mitch has not only worked as a second photographer with Stacey since 2007 when they photographed their first wedding together, but he is also her husband of 20 years.
Mitch is an all-around outdoorsy Minnesotan at heart. There is not a single season when you can’t find him outside. He is a father, veteran, DIYer, and loves to travel the world with Stacey.
RYAN
SECOND VIDEOGRAPHER
When the job calls for a second videographer, Ryan is usually there for the story—your story, specifically. His love for storytelling started early in life and continues to this day.
He loves a great book, a powerful movie, or even a compelling commercial. Just over 12 years ago, he discovered video as a way to capture and share the moments of life and has never looked back. When he’s not behind a camera (or, let’s be real, at the computer editing), he’s likely outside enjoying the beautiful city of Duluth with his family or eating great food… preferably both at the same time. Ryan also owns his own wedding video company, Mere Cinema—so if you are looking for a wedding videographer, be sure to contact him there!
