About Tricia

Tricia Keffer
Tricia Keffer's love of photography is reflected in the timeless beauty of her work. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, she came to the Destin, FL area as a child and has enjoyed the scenic beauty of the Emerald Coast for more than 25 years. Receiving her own little 120 camera for Christmas when she was eight, forever sealed her fate. Today she has her own rapidly growing professional portrait studio, Summertime Portraits Studio.

Tricia has always been interested in photography, even during her college years. After graduating from the University of West Florida she pursued other avenues but came back to photography as a career choice. In pursuit of excellence, she studied her craft through a rigorous apprenticeship under a master photographer. Now a master photographer herself, Tricia specializes in beach portraits but also photographs portraits in other local settings. Because Tricia has lived in the Destin, FL area for 25 years, she is familiar with the area's beauty and is well versed in scenic locations for portrait sessions.

Tricia's artistry is well recognized in the area. Her photographs have been published in FLAUSA, BAE calendar, Homes & Land of the Emerald Coast and Delta Sky magazine. It was her photo on the cover of the award winning brochure for Dale E. Peterson Realty.

Today Tricia continues to embrace both the beauty of the beach and the art of photography. As her business has grown, so has her reputation and her clientele. Many visitors to the Emerald Coast include a family portrait from Summertime Portraits Studio as part of their annual vacation.

Tricia's expertise in medium format cameras and state of the art digital technology allows her to produce professional wall portraits for the home and office. A member of the Professional Photographers of America and has all required licenses and permits for International and beach photography.
