I’m Trish, photographer, animal lover, yarn collector, and owner of Lucky Lola Studios, serving Columbus, Dayton, and surrounding areas in Ohio.
I live with my husband, our two dogs and our kid. I believe that every dog has a story worth telling (and yes, that includes the drool, zoomies, and side-eyes).
Photography has always been close to my heart. I grew up flipping through old family photo albums and fell in love with the way a single image could hold a whole feeling. After a few twists and turns, and a very thoughtful gift from my husband, I found my way back to the camera—and eventually found my passion for dog photography. I’ve been photographing weddings and families since 2006, but once I started photographing pets, I knew I’d found my favorite kind of chaos.
Now I specialize in custom pet photography sessions that are all about your dog’s comfort, quirks, and energy. You can choose an in-studio session in Columbus (inside All Paws Retreat) or an outdoor location session somewhere your pup can explore and be themselves. Sessions are relaxed and flexible, if your dog needs time to warm up or is ready to show off from the start, I follow their lead.
I also work with local rescues and dog shelters to help photograph adoptable pets and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes. I’ve always believed in using my skills to give back, and this is one of my favorite ways to do that.
If you're looking for a photographer who understands dogs, embraces the unpredictable, and creates images that celebrate your pup exactly as they are, you’ve found her. Let’s make some magic (and probably a little mess) together.
My Style
Dogs and other Pets
My dog photography style is colorful, creative, and full of love, patience, and plenty of snuggles to help your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I specialize in capturing authentic moments and real expressions, using professional flash both indoors and outdoors to bring out vibrant colors and crisp details without heavy editing. Whether we’re in my Columbus, Ohio studio or on location around Dayton, I focus on creating bright, joyful images that showcase your dog’s true personality and the bond you share.
Wedding
Your wedding day is special. I work closely with you to produce striking images that capture the events of the day in a way that is unique to your personality and wedding. The heart of your wedding is caught with your interactions with each other, your family and friends and the emotions of the day.
Family
Photography is a way of life for me, I bring enthusiasm, creativity, and fun to each session. I enjoy watching family members interacting with each other, being creative, and bouncing ideas off of each other, as well as me.
Birth and Newborn
New life is something so precious, and cant be posed. Its a quiet and tenuous time and also so full of joy and hope of a new person being born. I utilize photojournlistic style of photography with a mix of color and black and whites to bring the emotions of the day you have just made your way through in creating a family.
