Love Notes


  • Trudi was fantastic.

    My wife calls her the baby whisperer. All of the shots were beautifully done. She was fast and efficient. She is very good at what she does. I highly recommend her for newborn photos.

  • Trudi is a MASTER at newborn photos!

    She quickly soothed my 4-day old baby anytime she peeped… I can’t believe how calming her touch was… years of experience I guess! I’d give her 10 stars if I could…

Trudi is the BEST!

Her photos are flawless. She is passionate and does an incredible job obtaining and achieving clients’ goals. While pregnant and postpartum, we received her instructions that allowed for no stress photo preparation; this was priceless. We highly recommend her professional photography!!

We love our newborn pictures from Trudi!

She is so nice to deal with and so creative. She took all the proper cleanliness and safety procedures around our baby, which kept my mind at ease with everything that is going on. Would highly recommend!

I LOVED working with Trudi!

I worked with her to take senior photos. She’s a clear, responsive communicator. I could always reach her. We frequently update each other about weather plans, dates, etc.
She picked a beautiful location too! (Brighton). Even though this was my first time planning a photoshoot, she went above + beyond to make my vision a reality.
Everything was a very fun, collaborative experience! Trudi is a excellent photographer and a sweet, outgoing person. I highly recommend her!
