Meet Trish

Hi, I'm Trish and I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer. I live in Western Massachusetts with my husband, children, and labradoodle Zamboni. I grew up in Belchertown, Massachusetts, where my parents still live. They are two of the hardest working people I have ever met, and instilled in me to always have a strong work ethic, and take pride in all that I do. They also taught me to have high standards for work, and to always treat people the way I wanted to be treated. That's something I take forward with me in buisness, and in life.

When I entered college I didn't know what I wanted to do. I decided to begin my education at Holyoke Community College, where I took Photography as an elective. Little did I know I had discovered what would become my lifes passion. I became energized by the industry, and worked for a local photographer soaking in all I could to learn the ropes. I began to assist on weddings in 2001, and I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a wedding photographer. I continued my education by obtaining my BFA in Fine Art Photography from Hartford Art School, University of Hartford in 2005. After graduation I began photographing my own weddings, which to me was an absolute dream come true. In 2010 I furthered my education and earned my MFA in Fine Art Photography from Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I currently photograph 30 weddings per year, newborn portraits in my studio, as well as families on location.

My goal as a photographer is to always evoke authentic emotions in my subjects. For me working in natural spaces far removed from everyday life help my clients to feel far more relaxed, and I'm able to best accomplish that goal. I strive to document the joy and  happiness in the individuals I am photographing, with the hopes those feelings can be absorbed by anyone who views the images. As a person, I find humour in everything, and always try to look on the bright side. I like to live in the moment, and take each experience as it comes, rolling with the punches and riding the waves of life.
