I was Born and raised in Western Massachusetts and have over 20 years of professional photography experience. I love documenting connections, with weddings being my favorite event to capture.

Origin

I’m Trish, A Western Massachusetts native, a mother, a wife, and a lifelong seeker of beautiful light. I grew up in Belchertown, where my parents still live today. They are two of the hardest-working people I’ve ever known, and they instilled in me the values that drive my business: a relentless work ethic, a pride in craftsmanship, and the simple, vital rule of treating everyone with kindness and respect.

Passion

My path into photography began as a happy accident. While attending Holyoke Community College, I took a photography elective and instantly discovered my life’s calling. I spent my early years working for a local studio photographer while learning all i could about the industry. in 2001 i assisted on my first wedding. I knew immediately that I had found where I wanted to spend my career. Since then I’ve spent years refining my craft through both experience and formal education, resulting in what I believe to be a streamlined workflow, and an ever-evolving knowledge of photography as well as the wedding and portrait industries.

Philosophy

As an artist, I believe the best stories are told exactly as they happen. Just as a painter uses a brush, I use light and my camera to document your narrative. I am drawn to natural spaces where the world feels far away—places where you can breathe, relax, and simply be yourself. My goal is to evoke and document authentic emotion. I strive to capture the joy and happiness in my subjects so that anyone viewing the image can feel that same emotion. I’m a firm believer in finding humor in everything, looking on the bright side, and riding the waves of life as they come. I would be honored to capture your unique story as it unfolds to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Personal Life

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m usually trading the camera for a life vest. You’ll find me on my boat or by the ocean with my family, nursing a well-earned ‘Wedding Photographer Hangover’ on any given Sunday. Whether we’re whipping the kids around on a tube or winding down by a campfire with friends, the water is my happy place.

In the winter, my 'studio' shifts to the local hockey rink or indoor pool. I’m the proud taxi driver and loudest cheerleader for my two athletic teenagers. I’ve been married to my husband for 20 years, and while we love discovering local restaurants, I’m truly a homebody at heart. I have zero FOMO; I’m perfectly content gardening, cooking, or napping with my dogs. My family calls me the life of the party—provided that party wraps up by 8:00 PM so I can get to bed. Sorry, not sorry.
