The woman behind Trista Aubrey Photography

Hey there!

I’m Trista: photographer, hairstylist, wife, mom, and the woman behind Trista Aubrey Photography.

I’ve spent my career working with people and making them feel comfortable in front of me. I started as a hairstylist in 2013, and somewhere along the way, a love for photography grew into a second career that I absolutely love.

These days, life is full, usually split between the salon, photography, and raising my sweet little boy. Becoming a mom myself has only made me appreciate photographs more. The little things change so quickly, and I’ve learned just how much the ordinary moments end up meaning.


My Approach

When you book with me, you get more than someone who knows her way around a camera. I'm there to make things feel easy.

I'll give direction when you need it, fix the little things you might not notice, keep things moving when there's a lot happening and give you space when a moment doesn't need any help from me.

You don't need to know what to do with your hands or worry about whether your kids will cooperate. You just need to show up as yourselves. I'll take care of the rest.

My goal is for your photos to feel beautiful without feeling overly perfect. Full of movement, connection, personality and all the little things that make this season of your life yours.






I'm a mom first

My favorite role by far and the reason I now understand just how ridiculously fast the little seasons of life disappear.

I have 2 creative careers

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me behind the chair. I've been a hairstylist since 2013 and apparently one creative outlet just wasn't enough.

I love a good adventure

Road trips, new places, national parks, I'm always up for seeing something new. What started as my best friend moving to Germany has led me on 2 European backpacking trips and countless other trips across the sea spanning across almost 30 different counties!

I'm sentimental to my core

Photos, videos, keepsakes, I want all of it. I firmly believe there's no such thing as having too many photographs of the people you love. (just ask my friends who used to hate how much my camera was out on trips) Memories are the only thing I get to keep forever.
