Tricia Turpenoff

Turpenoff Photography

My mission in photography is to capture your essence. I have spent over 25 years listening, loving and branding my clients. The difference you will feel when you work with me is that you will be seen, acknowledged and heard! My passion for photography extends far beyond having you in front of my lens. First, I want to know you and understand your needs. Our first meeting is all about getting to know you, it is not transactional. That comes with time and preparation. I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

I was married to the love of my life in July of 2015 and was thrilled to inherit the best daughter. I’ve had a camera in my hand for over 40 years. I love Michael Jackson and am a proud fan of both trashy old television shows like Melrose Place as well as trashy new television shows like The Bachelor. My favorite snacks include Swedish Fish, Ring Pops, and sushi. I’m an avid lover of silly faces, 80’s music, anything that sparkles, mid-century modern design, and cooking for my friends and family.
