Meet the Photographer
Hey, my name is Trista
I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.
I’m obsessed with the real stuff. The in-between moments, the belly laughs, the way someone looks at the person they love when they think no one’s watching.
I’m neurodivergent and bring an extraordinary attention to detail to every shoot. I always make sure you know exactly what to expect so nothing feels too overwhelming or awkward. I make sure every client feels comfortable and celebrated.
I'm so happy you're here
I've been making things my whole life — illustrations, music, digital art — and photography is where it all came together.
At home I'm a wife to my favorite singer-songwriter, mom to a musical theater girlie, and completely owned by our cat Sparky.
When I'm not shooting you can find me chasing the ocean, at a concert, deep in a horror movie, or outside all summer with my camera just because.
Now I get to spend my days with real people making real memories, fueled by coffee and good conversation, and I genuinely can't believe I get to call this my job.
Everyone deserves photos that feel like home. Genuine, warm, and completely yours.
I believe everyone deserves to be photographed with care, dignity, and joy.
I am proudly an inclusive photographer. I welcome and celebrate LGBTQIA+ clients, multicultural and interfaith families, atheist and agnostic clients, clients of all body types, neurodivergent and autistic individuals, and clients with disabilities including those with physical disabilities, chronic or invisible illness. Every session is paced around your needs, not mine.
As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming new experiences can feel. I always communicate clearly about what to expect, I'm happy to answer every question, and I'll never rush you or make you feel like a burden for needing accommodations or reassurance.
