BEHIND THE LENS
Hi, I’m Stacie Luna Weever, the owner and photographer behind Optical Poetry.
I’m a proud McKinney native—born and raised right here. My family has deep roots in this area: my parents met at McKinney High School, my grandfather graduated from Princeton High, my grandmother was Miss Prosper High School 1959, and generations of my family worked at the McKinney Cotton Mill. This town isn’t just where I’m from—it’s part of who I am.
I’ve always had a creative spirit, but I also dreamed of being a businesswoman. That drive led me to earn a degree in Entrepreneurship—and eventually, to build a business that blends art and ambition.
When I launched Optical Poetry in 2015, I discovered something incredible: it’s possible to love your work. I thank God every day that I get to do what I love—and I hope that passion shines through in every image I create.

Mediocrity is unacceptable.
Try something new; you just might love it!
Care what YOU think of YOU.
Keep looking UP!
Trust God’s plan.
Be GREAT at something!
Good vibes ONLY.
Love who you are.
Always be learning.
Create every day.
Change is inevitable; embrace it.
Always be real; fake people are annoying.
Why Clients Choose Me
I guide every client with personalized artistic direction, so you feel confident, relaxed, and look your absolute best in front of the camera.
With advanced skills in Photoshop and expert use of off-camera lighting, I create images that rise above the ordinary. My creative process blends technical mastery with an artistic eye—bringing imaginative, magazine-worthy portraits to life.
When your session is complete, your images won’t just sit on a screen. I offer museum-quality print products designed to showcase your portraits as the works of art they truly are.
From concept to final creation, we collaborate on everything—wardrobe, makeup, posing, lighting, and editing—to craft bold, unforgettable portraits that turn heads and spark emotion.
I specialize in senior portraits because I believe in celebrating individuality. This is your moment—your story, your style, your time to shine—before life speeds ahead to the next chapter. Let’s capture the real you, beautifully.
