intro-post

Real Photography closed in December 2014 and is no longer accepting clients.

Thank you for your support over the years! Please follow me at my new personal blog: www.needlesandapen.com to keep up with my latest photography, craft, and nursing school adventures.

…Real Photography!!

(hit F5 on your keyboard if you don’t see the changes–they’ll pop up and they’re pretty.)  :)

In the next couple of days we’ll be switching over from Traci Turchin Photography to Real Photography.  I hope you like this sneak peak at our new branding!  We’ve been working on this for a couple of months and it’s exciting to see it all coming together.

The main website: www.traciturchinphotography.com will still work, but it will shortly be redirecting you to

Our portrait site is in the middle of its update and our wedding site should be available in a week or so (my goal of the 1st might not be so realistic with all of my supporting businesses moving slower this week).

Here is a peek at the cover of one of our new marketing pieces…

Daniel contacted me about doing a session for him last month while he was in town visiting his kids.  I sent his prints off to him yesterday and remembered that I never posted my favorites here.

Justin has Autism, so I was thrilled with how many smiling portraits we got!  He cracked me up, too–there was something I kept saying over and over again every time I wanted him to smile…and by the end of the session, he would say it every time he felt that I might be about to say it.  It’s always funny when people mock the photographer!  (I tend to say “okay…one, two, three” before group shots…and you can bet a couple of drunk wedding guests have called me on it!)  :)

Here is a quick post–I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I posted! I have pictures to share…when I get a chance!

Here’s one of my favorites from last week’s wedding. It was a snowflake themed wedding, which was appropriate, since it began snowing in Denver as the wedding ceremony began!

The venue was beautiful and perfect for showing off the weather in the giant window!
