About the Artist

Trish Barthorpe is a professionally trained photographer who lives and works in the Bemidji area. Her husband, daughter and dogs make up her small family. After graduating from a professional photography school in Southern Minnesota, she started her career photographing children and small families in a fast-paced studio located in a local mall.

Trish longed to become her own boss and worked quickly toward that goal. Opening up a studio of her own in 1998, Trish made a name for herself creating art from life for area families. 
Trish has become an award winning photographer by never sitting back on her heels. She is always finding new and meaningful ways to leave something for future generations to look back on with pride—the driving force behind everything she does. By giving back to others through fundraisers, special events and charity auctions, Trish keeps herself firmly planted in the community. She is honored to have her portraits grace the homes of those she works with.
