About WILLHOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello There & Thanks For stopping by!

Willhouse was created by two individuals with a flair for creating stunning visuals and a knack for solving technology riddles. In addition to our desire to elevate the business of others. Willhouse was formed.

Willhouse Photography is helmed by Stacey Millett with Richard Shay as the second or assistant photographer when a particular job calls for his clever assistance. With two decades of experience, Stacey started in her late teens at a surfing magazine, spending hours waking up at dawn to photograph surf culture, followed by a Bachelor’s Degree in Photo Journalism, and a few years working with two world-renowned celebrity and advertising photographers, love rang and she established a wedding photography business which brought exciting destinations and many opportunities to work with wonderful people. Stacey has now found her sweet spot working with individuals, professionals and businesses in creating lifestyle, branded creative content with a focus on food, portraits, travel and product photography.

Your New Content Creating Friend!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my photography. It is always meaningful when clients take a closer look at my work and choose me to help bring their vision and business to life.

Photography has been a passion of mine since childhood. I spent countless hours paging through Sunset Magazine, dreaming of capturing beautiful places, people, architecture, food, and culture. Over the past twenty years, my career has been a deeply rewarding creative journey, and I continue to feel as energized and inspired today as I did at the beginning.

Beyond my professional work, I am deeply committed to community service. I serve on the boards of the Ventura Community Partners Foundation and Friends of Fieldworkers, and I volunteer weekly supporting unhoused students. Contributing to efforts that strengthen and uplift our local community is as important to me as my work as a creative artist.

In my personal life, I love hiking, traveling, great food, and spending time with friends and my dog.

I look forward to getting to know you and sharing my experience, creativity, and passion with you.

What makes Willhouse photography different?

My expertise of knowing what a brand is, what looks good on a website, and what looks good on a social media feed. I work hard to create images that are timeless and fresh. Images that will engage and tell a story of who you and your business are. Each project is different, and so are the needs of a business.
