YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE, YOUR FAVORITE PLACE, YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY

THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO FORGET

I’m drawn to the quiet in-between moments: the wind in your hair, sandy feet at sunset, the laughter that happens naturally when no one is trying too hard. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly.

I don’t want your session to feel stiff or overly posed. I want it to feel like your favorite part of the trip.

Because years from now, these photographs will become more than images. They’ll become part of your family’s story.

I’ve always been someone who notices the little moments the way the light hits the water, the genuine laughter between a couple, and the quiet details that make a story whole. What started as a passion for capturing the beauty around me has evolved into Trace & Tide, a luxury photography experience inspired by the "coastal calm" of the Florida Panhandle.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me near the water, traveling to find new inspirations, or simply enjoying life with my son. I’m deeply drawn to the relaxed elegance of the coast, and I bring that same effortless, timeless feel to every session I document.

Whether we’re chasing the golden hour in Destin or documenting your family’s legacy along the 30-A shoreline, my goal is to make you feel confident, beautiful, and entirely yourself. Let’s create something timeless together.

We absolutely loved Trisha! She did an amazing job! Great personality and easy to work with! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing beach pictures done! Her prices are great and she was there waiting on us! We had a newborn in our pictures, she was great with her and had some cute ideas for her pictures!
