Photographer Trish Barthorpe here, and if you're at all like I am, you feel so many different things when you think about the people you LOVE in your life.
I find myself tearing up (with joy) at the thought of how close I am with my husband Mark and our daughter Stephanie.
At the same time, I'm so aware of how fast the time is passing, and how many incredible memories we've all shared together over the years.
Call the number below for a no obligation chat to find out what you are looking for.

What Makes My Portraits So Special To My Clients?
I believe it's the sensitivity, emotions, love and relationships I caputre of my clients and those they love. That's what I'm all about.
So, what is it about my portraiture that sets it apart from anyone else with a "camera" out there?
Think of it like this - A PAINTER. Right? Anyone can pick up a paint brush and put some paint on it, and put that brush to canvas and start... painting.
But, does that mean that painting is going to be something beautiful - meaningful - emotional - a work of art?
Of course not. It comes down to the artistry and understanding of that ARTIST to use the tools he or she has been given to CREATE.
It's the same thing in photography, as I am, in essence, painting with light, but I'm also working to create a portrait that brings tears of joy to your eyes, and captures the relationships and personalities of those you love.
An artistic, master photographer understands lighting, understands posing, understands human psychology, and understands how all of these things come together to create a portrait that transcends "every day" to become something that you will cherish and admire every day of your life.... as EMOTIONAL AND MEANINGFUL ART.
This is what I've dedicated my life to. This is what I love. And I've invested many, many years of my life into perfecting my craft so I can create the most cherished portraits you've ever had created. I believe it's my purpose for being on this planet.
Does it seem like life is just FLYING by? Do you find yourself thinking about doing some things, then, before you know it, a month, a year, 5 years have gone by?
