Family sessions, maternity and newborn, senior sessions, commercial and branding, engagements and weddings

Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth and the North Shore.

The images themselves are bright and simple. No heavy filters, no trend that will date them in three years. Just good light and your actual faces.

Hi, I’m Tricia.

A woman with long dark hair, Tricia Yoshii a family and lifestyle photographer, smiling and holding a camera on a city sidewalk, located in Chicago, IL.

I’m Tricia, a Glenview mom of two.

For fifteen years I led creative teams, building brands and campaigns and deciding which image told the truth. Now I make those images myself.

Fifteen years of improving other people's work teaches you one thing above everything else. The good frame comes right after everyone stops posing. So I keep sessions unhurried, warm and easy, whether that's a family in a backyard, a couple at golden hour, or a wedding day that will not slow down for anyone.

Real light, mid-laugh, exactly as you are right now.

“I was nervous the rainy weather would mean cranky kids and a rushed session, but it ended up being one of my favorite days.”

Erica, Family Session

“She handled their energy with so much grace, keeping them engaged while remaining calm, positive, and encouraging the entire time.”

Natalie, Family Session

“She made it fun, approachable and put me at ease! She guided me the whole way.”

Jamie, Branding Session
