β€”

For as long as I can remember, I have been a documentarian, following in my Dad’s footsteps. My childhood friends can attest I was the one carrying around a chunky camera, documenting all of our shenanigans, years before social media was a thing. My friends joke they only have photos of themselves from the years I’ve been in their lives. :)

I absolutely love capturing the details of it all and having those memories to look back on for generations.

When I was a little girl, I used to help my dad hang up his prints in the dark room in our home. That’s when it began, the curiosity & love of preserving moments in time.

A little bit about me…

I am married to my best friend in the world, Pierre, mama to our sweet boys Marlow and Remy, and cat mom to Ruben. I love all things creative, and I’m having so much fun sharing that with my boys now. Family is everything to me, which gives me such passion for storytelling and capturing YOUR special family moments.

I love hiking and getting outside with friends and family. Camping in Algonquin is a yearly tradition, as are weekly β€˜fam’ dinners with our friends. I love planning adventures for my family, as well as creating special moments we inevitably turn into new traditions. Finding joy in the everyday is highly underrated. :)

The Cliff Notes…

Two people, a man and a woman, are smiling under a waterfall, with water cascading down on them. This is the photographer, Tricia with her husband, hiking, while she's not busy shooting family photos in the Durham Region Ontario.

We are probably a perfect match if…

  • 01.

    You crave a fun, relaxed session, like you are shooting with an old friend.

  • 02.

    You love candid, documentary-style photos. You appreciate some poses, but really prefer candid photos with lots of motion, fun and real-life moments.

  • 03.

    Being outdoors, embracing the weather and ALL the elements, or dipping your toes in the lake during a beach shoot (or full on jumping in!).
