ABOUT TRACI
Hello, I'm Traci Kinney, a professionally trained headshot, commercial, and portrait photographer with over 13 years photographing people. My goal is to provide an effortless and enjoyable photography experience. Before I took my long-time passion for photography and became a full-time entrepreneur, I worked for major companies in marketing and sales for over 17 years. I love to blend my extensive business and marketing experience with my creative side and help clients grow their businesses.
I specialize in working with clients to bring out their authentic personality—capturing natural expressions, trustworthiness, and approachability—even if you think you're not photogenic! I take into consideration the psychology of body language, facial expressions, lighting, clothing, color harmony, and environment to produce portraits you will be proud and excited to share.
