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 area as a child and has enjoyed the scenic beauty of the Emerald Coast for more than 30 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 Beach Portrait 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 DJ Tomchay. Now a master photographer herself, Tricia specializes in beach portraits but also photographs portraits in other local settings as well as at her expanded indoor studio. Because Tricia has lived in the Destin area for 30 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 and Homes & Land of the Emerald Coast. It was her photo on the cover of the award winning brochure for Dale E. Peterson realty.Last year Tricia was honored to have her Destin images published in Delta SKY Magazine.

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 Beach Portrait Studios as part of their annual vacation. Recent expansion of the studio includes travel to her new offices in Paris for the summer and Hawaii in the winter. A limited number of sessions are still available for beach portraits in Destin during the summer as well.

Summertime Beach Portraits takes great pride in our creative vision and spectular websites. We are on the leading edge of digital technology and amazing imagery. We know we are the leaders because, as they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Our website is often (illegally) copied and many local photographers call to ask if they can come work for us for a few weeks in order to learn the business. Don't be fooled by these copy people! Choose the best. Choose Summertime Portrait Studio.
