Who Stacey Jo Is
Stacey Jo is the photographer behind Ramblin' Rose Creative, in business since around 2018. She grew up in an agriculture family in Taber, Alberta, holds a degree in animal science alongside business and marketing training, and works in ag communications by day.
How She Got Into Photography
Stacey got into photography as an adult, after moving to Calgary for work, when a friend signed up for a two-day immersive photography course and she came along. What hooked her wasn't the gear — it was realizing a photo could hold a whole story, something she already knew from her grandmother's farmhouse, where every wall was covered in photos and every one came with a story attached.
Her Background and Why It Matters
An animal science degree, business and marketing training, a day job in ag communications, and an actual rural upbringing all sit in one person. That combination means a client's rural or ag business rarely needs explaining before a shoot starts — she can spot the right breed, the right crop, and when a horse looks wrong in a frame.
Her Approach to a Photo
Stacey leans toward real over polished. A technically perfect photo that doesn't make you feel anything isn't the goal for her — the goal is a photo that's true to who a person or business actually is, even a little messy.
