Trish is incredible! She did my law school graduation photos. I haven't had professional photos in a long time and she made me feel so comfortable and the photos were gorgeous. She is so personable, professional, and talented. Highly recommend!

From the very beginning, before we had even taken the photos, Trish made everything feel easy and comfortable. She helped me think through outfit ideas, color suggestions when I still had no clue what I wanted to wear, and was even willing to shoot at the Court of Appeals courthouse in addition to the campus locations we already had planned. But all of that kindness and flexibility honestly set the tone for the entire experience. What stood out to me most, though, was how intentional Trish was throughout the session about making everyone feel comfortable enough to just be themselves. She didn't try to force people into stiff poses or personalities that didn't fit them. Instead, she really leaned into who people naturally were and captured their personalities from different angles (see what I did there haha) in a way that felt genuine and effortless. That is such a rare skill. Beyond the photography itself, Trish was just a joy to be around. She’s incredibly genuine, kind, and down-to-earth, and she made everything feel so easy. I honestly cannot overstate how much that meant to me during finals season and all the chaos and decision fatigue that comes with being a struggling law student trying to keep their head above water and still look forward to graduating lol. Being in front of a camera can make people feel vulnerable, awkward, or overly self-aware, and I know people are not always the best versions of themselves in those moments. But Trish created such a comfortable environment that it never felt stressful, rushed, or performative. It just felt fun and natural. I know working in the service industry—and especially photography—can sometimes mean people don't fully express appreciation for all the emotional labor and care that goes into creating experiences like this, so I really wanted to make sure that Trish—and everyone else—knew how much her kindness, patience, and energy were noticed and appreciated. She truly made the experience special.

Thank you so much for this — it genuinely makes my day! Milestone sessions like yours are some of my absolute favorites to photograph. Law school graduation is such a huge accomplishment, and I'm so glad you trusted me to capture it. You were a joy to work with, and those photos turned out beautifully because you brought so much to them. Wishing you all the best as you step into this next incredible chapter! Congratulations!!🎓✨

We hired Trish and Plum Tree Studios to photograph our wedding and engagement photos 11 years ago. The photos were so incredible that we have continued coming back for all of our photography needs year after year. From maternity, to candid shots around our home, to yearly family portraits, Trish has done it all for us. Not only does she have a keen eye to capture the perfect photograph, but she is also incredibly easy to work with. She truly cares about the couples that she works with and enjoys capturing their life stories in her photos from the start of their journey. We are blessed to have found her as she has created so many beautiful memories for our family. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Trish was the best vendor we worked with during our entire wedding experience. The wedding planning was more than my husband and I bargained for, but the day of seemed to be extremely stressful starting out. The Plum Tree Studios team was prompt, kind, courteous, and calm, which was necessary as she arrived after one of many incidents had just taken place. Trish was focused on making sure I was ok, she heard my concerns and frustration and she was patient as we worked to talk through what was most important about the day. I can't thank her enough for her heart and genuine concern about making sure I was able to enjoy such a momentous occasion. Trish was the only person that made my husband and I feel like our wedding was about us. Plum Tree Studios went above and beyond providing us with memories to last us our lifetime. We loved our photos but our video was even more precious to us, as the day was a blur when we lived it at the moment. Plum Tree Studios was well worth the money, even though our budget was tight. I would choose Trish and her team time and time again. We hope to continue to work with Plum Tree Studios in the future as we achieve more milestones. This team will make your day amazing, and provide you with such beautiful memories regardless if you choose photography, videography, or both. We highly recommend them!

Many vendors and people outside your loved ones involved in your wedding day will say "I am there for you" or "it is YOUR day." I promise you Trish will be the only one that makes you believe it. From start to finish Trish was courteous, accommodative, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was beautiful and special. Her photos speak for themselves--absolutely stunning and immaculate. We had a very long wedding day, Trish was there 9am to 9pm and was pleasant and cheerful the whole day. Bottom line there are many photographers out there with similar styles, packages, and price points but you need Trish for your special day because she will make you FEEL exceptional. She's trustworthy and I guarantee you will love your photos. I cannot express enough what a good photographer she is, but more so what a good human she is. Thank you so much Trish.

Trish is the absolute BEST! Professional. Talented. Authentic. Sincere. These words only skim the top of how amazing she is! After 20+ years of marriage, my husband and I decided to have a professional portrait session with Plum Tree Studios. The shoot was fun, playful and lighthearted and the pictures that came from it took my breath away! The only downfall was having to decided which ones to discard because they were all so good! I'll be branding a new company in early 2022 and Trish will be the only one I would have help me with it. High, high, high recommendations for this special lady!
