Trae is excellent at helping a person or company figure out their “brand’s soul” and then help them understand how to share that message in a way that is genuine, authentic, and empowering. She goes beyond the surface of what a brand is. She connects on a heart level in ways that make a difference in how to share the message of who they are, how they can stand out by shining brightly, and how their story can create a transformation.
Trae is also an exceptional photographer who makes people look great, even if they are hesitant to be in front of the camera (like me!). I was privileged to receive Trae’s incredible talent – both in person and remotely! I was able to meet her in person and during our time together, we did a photo session in the wildflower garden at her house. Then, because I wanted some pictures in my butterfly garden, she shot some of me there – remotely, with a neat app that allows that!
Even though I’d much rather be behind-the-scenes, Trae makes it fun and easy to have a photo session. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful of who you are, what you like, and what is best for you in terms of creating the best photos. She captures the “inner you” in creative photos that are exquisite! There will be lots of smiles because she excels at putting you at ease and allowing you to feel special (even if and especially if having your photo taken is not your favorite activity). If you’re looking to upgrade photos of yourself (such as a new headshot for your LinkedIn profile or for other reasons), I highly recommend Trae!

This made me smile so big — especially knowing you’d rather be behind the scenes. That’s exactly why I care so much about creating a space that feels safe, relaxed, and even… fun. 😊
Thank you for trusting me with something that doesn’t naturally feel comfortable. That trust means everything. My goal is never just a “good photo” — it’s helping you see yourself the way others already do. Confident. Capable. Special.
I’m so grateful for your kind words and honored I got to capture your inner spark. ✨
And yes — if you’re hiding from updating that headshot… I promise we’ll make it easier than you think.

Trae was wonderful to work with! She has a real talent for capturing just the right image. I was feeling a bit self-conscious about doing head shots, but she made me feel so comfortable. Thank you Trae😁

We had a great experience having Trae capture some family photos for us! It’s not always easy having kids cooperate for this sort of thing, but Trae made it a fun experience for all of us and created special memories witnessed in our photo gallery! Your talents and gifts are appreciated, Trae!

Thank you so much — that truly means a lot.
Headshots can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re not used to being in front of the camera. I’m really glad you felt comfortable — that’s always my first goal. When you relax and feel like yourself, that’s when the right image shows up.
I’m grateful you trusted me with it. And you did amazing. 😊

Trae was very knowledgeable and professional. Without much info from me she was able to give me exactly the kind of pictures I needed and wanted. It was a pleasure working with her and getting to know her.

Thank you — I really appreciate you saying that.
One of my favorite parts of what I do is reading between the lines a bit… listening, observing, and helping bring clarity to what someone is trying to express, even if they don’t have all the words for it yet. So hearing that I captured exactly what you needed means a lot.
It was truly a pleasure getting to know you as well. Grateful for the opportunity to work together.

Trae is awesome and she is hands down the best brand-building photographer I know. From the very first shoot, Trae brings incredible creativity, professionalism, and visions to the table. She not only captures the essence of who you are, but she brings to life what your brand stands for.

Wow. This means more than you know.
My heart behind every shoot is exactly that: to capture who you are and bring your vision to life in a way that feels real and aligned.
I’m so grateful to work with people who are willing to show up fully. That’s where the magic happens. 🙌📷
Truly honored by your words.

Trae’s photography is a game-changer. Whether it’s personal photos (maternity, newborn, family) or business imagery (headshots, team photos, brand stories), she has an uncanny ability to capture the “inner you.” The session was fun, comfortable, and tailored to me. Even those hesitant about being in front of the camera like myself I’m sure will find themselves at ease, thanks to Trae’s thoughtful approach. She makes every moment feel special, resulting in amazing photos that feel natural.
