About Tricia Charles
Hi there, I'm Tricia and sitting next to me is my forever faithful companion and best bud, Benji. To start off, I would like to disclose I am someone who is much more comfortable and confident behind the lens than in front of it, but I want you to feel comfortable about who you are booking with and so sharing a little bit about me is important. So let's jump in. 😊
​
Where it began
Like most stories, how I got to where I am today was not a straight line. I spent the first 20 years of my life in art from drawing, painting, ceramics, airbrushing, charcoals, photography, you name it I probably dove head first into it.
​
Fast forward to 2019 where I started my photography business and ever since its been a constant evolution of my business, my art and my soul. ​​
​I want to provide precious memories of your time with your beloved furry friend. I want you to smile when you see your images. I provide high quality print lab products that will last a lifetime in your home. At the end of the day, my job is to create art for you that you can cherish for decades.​
Why I do what i do
When I'm not taking photos or editing, I'm taking care of my family, my husband, 2 girls and my dog Benji. I also love to watercolor. I find watercolor so relaxing and beautiful. I love how freeing it is to just create and not worry about perfection, but just how the colors interact with each other. It's a beautiful medium.

The Future
I have so many ideas and plans for the future. Of course I will continue on the path I am on and continue to hone my craft and be the best photographer I can be. A few goals for myself, 1.
