A graduate of the University of Wisconsin Madison, Trish began her career in media and advertising at Starcom Worldwide, one of the world’s leading advertising agencies. Working in both Chicago and Los Angeles, she managed accounts including Buena Vista Home Entertainment and the E! and Style networks.
After the birth of her first daughter, Trish traded her advertising career for her camera and never looked back. What began as a creative passion grew into a successful photography career spanning more than 16 years. Now a mom to two amazing young women, ages 17 and 20, Trish knows firsthand just how quickly childhood flies by and how important it is to capture the moments along the way. With patience, humor, and an easygoing approach, she creates a relaxed, fun environment where kids can be themselves and families can simply enjoy being together. Her style is natural, timeless, and authentic, focusing on genuine expressions and connections rather than stiff, overly posed photographs.
Having lived and worked in Pacific Palisades for more than 20 years, Trish has deep roots in the Los Angeles community. Over the years, she has had the privilege of photographing countless families, watching babies grow into teenagers and capturing the milestones in between. Many of her clients have been with her for years, and those lasting relationships are one of the most meaningful parts of her career.
In January 2025, Trish lost her home and photography studio in the devastating Palisades fire, along with so much of the community she had called home for more than two decades. The experience gave her an even deeper appreciation for the power of photography and the memories we hold onto. When so much can be lost in an instant, photographs become more than pictures. They become pieces of our lives, our families, our stories, and moments we can never get back.
While her true passion remains photographing children and families, Trish’s work also includes modern school portraits, editorial and magazine photography, corporate headshots, and commercial projects. Her background in advertising, combined with more than 16 years behind the camera, brings both a creative eye and a professional approach to every shoot.
Whether she’s photographing a toddler who won’t sit still, a family of five, or a corporate executive, her philosophy remains the same: make people feel comfortable, keep things natural, have a little fun, and capture something real.
Because at the end of the day, photographs aren’t just about how we looked. They’re about the people we love, the lives we’ve lived, and the memories we never want to lose.
