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 25 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. 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 25 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.

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 indoor studio gives clients a wider range of photographic choices.

Summertime Studio President, Tricia Keffer has expertise in medium format cameras, film, and equipment. This allows her to produce professional wall portraits for the home and office. A member of the Professional Photographers of America, she has all required credentials to provide you with quality beach photography and international business licenses. She welcomes scheduled visits.

Summertime Studio uses the lastest in Digital and printing technology. In celebration of their 10th year in the industry, Summertime Studio is expanding internationally! Our photographers are available for travel to Heidleburg and the Black Forrest. Coming soon we will also be in Hawaii!
