Traci Merritt Photography

I feel incredibly lucky to say that I LOVE what I do! Every time I pick up my camera I feel honored to make a connection through the lens with my clients. To capture true love and joy in people is a gift to me and one I am proud to share in the form of a unique image to treasure for all time. As a mother of two sweet girls I can officially say that time really does pass too quickly. However, as much as I wish they would stop growing, it just won’t happen… except through a photograph. Having images of times past is the best way to relive those feelings and moments held so dear to the heart. I believe your portrait session should be a joyful experience; one you will look back on fondly. Therefore I look for candid moments of connection over perfectly posed compositions. The goal is always to have fun over good behavior, giggles over forced smiles, and always, always, connection.

Business Review

From Yelp:
"Working with Traci was so easy. Scheduling, communication, suggestions for location and outfits, day of positioning and of course the final product. All of it professional, smooth, relaxing and spectacular. My husband hates having his picture taken and adding two little ones to the bunch does not help. At the end he was laughing and thrilled with the results. The kids did great. We had a plan, but as we all know kids don't understand plans. Traci went with it and we got the most amazing pictures. I want Traci to do our pictures every year!!! Now only to get the husband on board! Next time we will head to Granite Bay from the Bay for a new setting and more wonderful pictures. Thank you Traci!!" – Claire B

"Traci's work is excellent! She has a very artistic eye and a way of getting incredible shots of entire families. My husband and children never smile on command and Traci magically got them laughing, smiling, and having an enjoyable experience all while taking tons of shots that I love! When it came time to select our favorites, we had the most difficult time choosing. We ended up ordering more than planned and are so happy we did. The fact that my fussy family wants to do more photography sessions with Traci again speaks volumes" – Lauren G
