Peter and his family were staying at Evergreen Vacation Rentals’ Mountain Blossom Retreat when Shana Powell referred them to us for a family session. After it was over, Peter sent us the review below. We’re sharing it because it says everything about why we do this work, and why this time with your family is worth capturing.

“Phenomenal! We rented a house in the Bershires with the intention of leaning into family connection: respite from work, time by the pool, home cooked meals and no adventure greater than glow ball mini golf. On a whim, we booked Tricia for a 50 minute photo shoot at the house. Our head space was Why not up our Christmas card game a bit? Holy cow did we get more than that! Tricia captured a point in time with grace, elegance and efficiency. She’s an artist. She gave us just enough direction to mitigate our (ok my) unflattering posture but the bulk of the time Tricia had us in a natural flow, capturing our genuine family dynamic. Our son is an intensely proud big brother and a photo bombing comedian. Our daughter loves exploring, being upside down, and as a developing 2 year old, cries it out often. Grandma has a genuine smile and laugh but almost always puts on a pre-determined canned face anytime anyone picks up a camera (not during this shoot). My wife is the most loving beautiful woman that a man could hope to be with. All of which was captured expertly by Tricia. I envisioned the importance of having good photos to protect future memories. I did not anticipate how professional photos, when done with this level of skill, could enhance my gratitude and appreciation for today. Thank you Tricia. You gave us a gift.” – Peter Lopatka
