Portrait and Fantasy Photographer based in Minnesota.
Check out my blog here for an additional dive into my recent work.
Welcome to my little corner of the world.
Hello, my name is Tryniti. I am a fantasy/portrait photographer who also happens to be a Registered Nurse in a critical care setting. I have been pursuing photography since I was 16 years of age and mainly have experience with surreal/fantasy work and fine art photography. Why mainly fantasy portraits you may ask? Because there is something so special to me about being able to tell an entire story with a single photo.
In my spare time, you can find me planning a Disney trip, jamming out to Taylor Swift, hanging with my incredible husband, watching Coraline on repeat, or annoying my brother. The only child I have is a tiny 3 pound Yorkie named Rey. Also, I have a passion for all things Tim Burton and anything related to Alice in Wonderland. 
Fun Fact: My husband and I got married at Pandora - The World of Avatar in Disney's Animal Kingdom in February of 2022. I never shut up about it as it was the most magical day of my life. (:
Where did the name “Black Bow Photography” come from?
Believe it or not, the name is derived from the original Alice in Wonderland movie that was released in 1951. Growing up, I took numerous trips to Walt Disney World and obsessively watched every Disney movie on this planet of earth. In 2014, I even went on to do a seven month internship at Walt Disney World (the best decision I ever made). When my brother and I were very young, we often had sleepovers with our Grandma Karen. One of the many movies she owned was Alice in Wonderland which we watched over and over and over again. It was our special thing. In the movie, Alice wears a black bow headband in her hair. As a kid/teen, I almost always had a black bow headband or clip in my hair — hence the name Black Bow Photography.
FAQ
Where are you located and do you travel?
I’m located 20 minutes north of St. Paul. If required to driver further than 40 minutes from my home, a slight fee may be required pending the circumstances. I LOVE to travel out of state and would not hesitate to do so for any of your photoshoot needs.
How do payments work?
I require a $50 deposit at the time of booking via a signed contract for everything other than elopements! For elopements, I require a 25% deposit at the time of booking. The rest of the sum owed can be paid at any point leading up to the session with the exception of elopements which must be paid 30 days in advance.
Do you offer photo albums?
Yes! I am willing to compile and ship a beautifully printed photobook for an extra fee.
When can I expect to get my photos back?
Portrait sessions are usually returned in less than 3 weeks. Elopements may take 6 to 8 weeks.
Do you give out raw (unedited) files?
No. I pour my heart and soul into every session I edit. RAW files are not a true representation of myself as an artist, so they are something I do not relinquish.
