Lacey Claire Rogers Shares Adorable Owl Photoshoot

Owl Sighting In The Forest

This week, influencer Lacey Claire Rogers turned her Instagram feed into an enchanted woodland scene. The carousel begins with a cinematic shot of Rogers perched on a fallen log, an elegant barn owl resting on her glove as sunbeams dance through overhanging branches. In her cheeky caption, Rogers wrote, “well now this has been a real hoot,” playing on the double meaning and inviting a wave of amused responses from her followers.

The Perfect Pairing

The next slides showcase more carefully staged poses: a tight close-up of the owl’s pale feathers and haunting amber eyes, followed by a candid black-and-white frame that captures Rogers adjusting her wide-brimmed hat. Fans quickly noted how seamlessly the owl’s vintage–meets–bohemian styling matched her own earthy palette of rust hues, suede gloves, and layered gold necklaces. Although Rogers didn’t credit the photographer in the post itself, she regularly collaborates with names like Karalayne Becker of @karalaynebeckerphotography on similar outdoor shoots.

Style And Styling Notes

For this shoot, Rogers leaned into a modern folklore aesthetic—she wore a flowing printed maxi dress layered under a tailored suede jacket, accessorized with a studded leather glove specifically designed for falconry handling. Her hair was loosely braided, kept off her face to highlight the intricate leatherwork on her gauntlet. Makeup was kept minimal with a soft, dewy finish and a pop of bronze eyeshadow that echoed the owl’s warm plumage.

A Legacy Of Nature Shoots

Nature-themed sessions have become a staple in Rogers’s portfolio. Earlier this spring, she posted a sun-drenched summer series under the caption “hello summer sun ☀️,” collaborating with Karalayne Becker to capture sweeping fields of wildflowers and billowing chiffon dresses (Instagram @thelaceyclaire/p/DJufVlKSXP3). That lighter palette gave way this week to richer autumnal tones—but the underlying theme remains the same: Rogers finds beauty in the raw elements of the outdoors.

Behind The Scenes

In her Instagram Stories that followed, Rogers gave viewers a glimpse of the shoot’s prep: the owl handler demonstrating the bird’s safe handling, Rogers rehearsing her arm positioning to keep both herself and the owl at ease, and a snippet of piano music that underscored the cinematic mood she aimed to create.

Conservation Spotlight

Although the main post didn’t include a formal donation drive, Rogers tagged the wildlife rescue sanctuary in her Story highlights, ensuring followers know exactly where to learn more or lend support. Within hours, the center reported a noticeable uptick in web traffic from new visitors curious about raptor rehabilitation.

Fan Reaction And Engagement

The owl series racked up over 20,000 likes and nearly 300 comments in its first day. Admirers flooded the post with praise: “Absolutely magical,” “Best thing I’ve seen all week,” and “Teach me your owl-whispering ways.” Questions about eagle care prompted Rogers to clarify in a follow-up Story that the barn owl was on temporary loan from a licensed program, striking a balance between style and responsible wildlife interaction.

What’s Next For Rogers

Rogers’s knack for fusing high–fashion editorial moments with authentic animal encounters hints at new creative directions—perhaps a collaboration with environmental nonprofits or documentary storytelling. Whether you’re tuning in for fashion thrills or wildlife wonders, one thing is clear: this has certainly been a real hoot.
