I'm Traci, an on-location lifestyle photographer living in Poughkeepsie, along with my husband, Peter (who designed this website!) and our two young children, Brendan and Kyra. I work throughout the Hudson Valley, traveling to your home or a favorite spot in the area to provide a totally customized portrait experience!

Photography is so much more to me than a job. I've loved all things creative for as long as I can remember but it wasn't until after we brought our son home 5 years ago that I became a student of the art. I left a successful career in Marketing to enjoy time with my son and to pursue some exciting graphic design opportunities. It was then that photography and documenting my child's life through pictures became an addiction, a passion that I love to share with others.

My picture-taking approach is laid back and low-pressure. I understand that kids want to be kids, and that's the way that I want to capture them. I like to get to know your family so that I can document their personalities accurately. My style is a blend of candid moments and natural poses. Many shots will be captured when nobody is expecting it and those are often the favorites!

I invite you to get a feel for my work and my personality by viewing my online gallery and blog. As a Mom of two, I know how quickly time passes and how those memories we think we'll remember forever quickly fade over time. A picture truly is worth a thousand words and I look forward to telling the story of your lives!

Sincerely,
Traci Meyer
