Traci is an Augusta, Georgia native who obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from the University of Georgia. Her focus then was interior design but
her diverse artistic flair kept her hand in fabric painting in addition to her
major studies.
Traci lived in Colorado and Maine for two years, but she returned to Augusta
where she met her husband, Preston. Married in 1992, Traci and Preston have four
children between the two of them.
Traci's interest in photography was really spurred on by her creative endeavors
with Christmas cards. One key moment in her daily activities involving a snail
on a garage door made her take a breath and realize she needed to focus on her
God-given talent as a photographer. She wanted to capture moments and pair them
with the thoughts in her mind. With her artistic vision, creative thoughts and
personal touches, Traci felt the need to make her own cards. With the
often-impersonal emails of modern day, the human touch of photography and
hand-written thoughts encourage Traci to keep personalized correspondence an
important part of her life.
Traci "just loves" taking pictures and finds it a spiritual way to share her
talents with friends and family. Her other artistic endeavors such as pottery,
wall hangings and scarves have brought her much joy as another outlet for her
creativity but her photography is currently her passion. Along with horseback
riding, cooking and gardening, Traci likes to take the opportunity that
photography provides to "slow down" and take it all in.
