About Tricia

Passion and purpose - My mission in photography is to capture your essence. I have spent over 25 years listening, loving and branding my clients. The difference you will feel when you work with me is that you will be seen, acknowledged and heard! My passion for photography extends far beyond having you in front of my lens. First, I want to know you and understand your needs. Our first meeting is all about getting to know you, it is not transactional. That comes with time and preparation. I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Beginning - I received a 126 Kodak Instamatic film camera as a gift from my aunt and uncle when I was five years old. Although I was young, this mature gift suited me just right. A childhood trip to Washington D.C. was my photography debut, and caused my parents to comment admiringly on my natural ability for what was later to become my passion.

College Years - I continued developing my talent throughout high school. In college, I received formal training in photography and made money as a “party picture girl,” taking photos at sorority and fraternity functions.

Inspiration - After graduating college in 1994, I was fortunate enough to work with several inspiring and accomplished mentors who helped me perfect my craft and establish myself as the professional photographer I am blessed to be today.

Fun facts & Silliness - I was married to the love of my life, Jake in July of 2015 and was thrilled to inherit the best daughter ever, Leah. In 2017 we also welcomed Leah's amazing boyfriend Eric!

I’ve had a camera in my hand for over 40 years. I love Michael Jackson and am a proud fan of both trashy old television shows like Melrose Place as well as trashy new television shows like The Bachelor. My favorite snacks include Swedish Fish, Ring Pops, and sushi. I’m an avid lover of silly faces, 80’s music, anything that sparkles, mid-century modern design,and cooking for my family and friends.
