Artful photography for the beautifully unfiltered.

Pittsburgh photographer for the non-traditional, the creative, and the unapologetically themselves.

β€œTrista was incredible! My husband and I aren’t really into having our photos taken but Trista made us feel so comfortable and really helped the process feel so natural. The photos she was able to capture are so beautiful. We are so grateful to have these beautiful memories forever!”

You don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t have to be β€œphotogenic”. You just have to show up as yourself and I’ll handle the rest.

I’m Trista. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing the moments that actually matter. The real laughs, happy tears, glances no one else caught. I love the awkward, the loud, the quiet, and the in between way more than any perfectly staged photo.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, booking senior portraits, family photos, need creative brand photos, or just want someone who actually gets your vision β€” you’re in the right place.

Who I Photograph

  • Weddings and Engagements β€” couples who value real moments over cheesy poses

  • Seniors β€” for the end of an era - this version of you deserves to be remembered

  • Families β€” candid, chaotic, and uniquely yours

  • Creatives β€” brand photos, album art, press shots, no stiff headshots, and everything in between

Hi, I’m Trista

I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years, and I still get genuinely excited every time I pick up my camera. I’m based in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, and I photograph weddings, portraits, seniors, families, and fellow creatives throughout Western Pennsylvania and beyond.

Everyone is welcome here

Whoever you are, whoever you love, however you move through the world β€” you deserve photographs that celebrate you exactly as you are.

I proudly serve LGBTQ+ couples and families, neurodivergent and autistic clients, clients with disabilities, clients of all body types, and multicultural and interfaith families. My sessions are judgment-free, low-pressure, and built around making you feel at ease.

If you've ever felt like you didn't quite fit the mold of a "typical" photography client β€” this is your sign that you've found your photographer.
