A little bit about me
Hey, I'm Tris
A seasoned photographer rooted in the heart of North Texas. With a keen eye for detail and a flair for graphic design, I've been honing my craft since 2015. Photography isn't just a profession for me; it's an indelible part of who I am. Through my photos and designs, I endeavor to share the boundless joy and beauty I find in the world around me.
Why "Fat Lab Photography"?
People often ask where the name Fat Lab Photography comes from. The answer goes back to a high school photography project, where I was tasked with creating a mock photography business complete with a name, logo, and branding. Inspired by my beloved Labrador Retriever, Dixie—a gentle soul whose favorite pastimes were snacking and napping—I jokingly named it Fat Lab Photography. Dixie was my constant companion throughout much of my life, from elementary school through college. Her loyalty, gentle spirit, and unwavering presence left a lasting impact on me, and the name serves as a small tribute to the dog who was there from the very beginning.
Today, Fat Lab Photography represents more than a memorable name—it reflects my passion for preserving meaningful moments and creating lasting memories for the people, families, and pets I have the privilege of photographing.
