Hi, I am Gracie Star.

I am a Washington State photographer located in Seattle, but it has been a long journey here. I first picked up a camera in small-town Chehalis, WA; I grew up in a farm town where my sisters and I entertained ourselves by taking photos. In high school, I was blessed to have the opportunity to take photography classes, travel to State and National competitions for technical portrait competitions, and have the most amazing mentor to help me perfect my craft. Before I knew it, I was a 16-year-old kid who was completely booked. I didn't get here myself, I was blessed with an incredible opportunity. I was born with a talent and a gift, however, my passions lay elsewhere and in the Fall of 2021, I moved to Seattle to pursue a degree in Political Science at the University of Washington.

I furthered my photography education at the University of Washington through various classes and with professors at the top of the industry. I began video production in the Winter of 2021 and have been able to film spectacular events while learning new skills.

Now in 2023, I am no longer packing out my schedule. I found that my true passion lies in politics and law, however, I have a strong desire to create art. This has limited my availability but allowed me to focus on perfecting my work for the clients I take on.

I hope to work with you soon

XOXO, Gracie Star
