Welcome to Time Stand Still Photography. My name is Tricia O'Loughlin. Time Stand Still Photography brings together two great joys and passions in my life, children and photography.
Children fascinate me. I love the rapt attention babies pay to details others miss, the unchecked emotions of two year olds, the rambling narratives of four year olds, the self-contained logic of seven, the growing insightfulness of ten. As a Montessori teacher, I learned when to engage a child, and when to sit back and observe. Both of these skills also serve me well in photography, enabling me to feel out and capture the true personality of a child. I greatly enjoy photo sessions, and children do too. I love to get down on the floor and play, see their treasures, hear their stories, discover their interests. One of the best parts of photographing children is watching them grow from year to year, really getting a chance to witness their lives.
I began pursuing both education and photography in and around the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and a few years ago moved with my daughter to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pursue graduate studies in Mind, Brain, and Education. Studying the intersection of neurology, psychology, and education helped me better understand the wonderfully complex inner workings of children, and relocating to Massachusetts has given me new and exciting opportunities to expand my photographic horizons.
Portraits preserve moments in your family's life. I would love to help capture these moments.
