I'm falling in love with in-home lifestyle sessions. I was so excited to head to New Jersey for this one welcoming the 2nd baby girl. It's an indescribable feeling to be part of documenting such special times in people's lives... their wedding day and now their beautiful growing family. I'm so honored to be there for such occasions.

CALIFORNIA ELOPEMENT SHOOT | Trinity Walker Keefer
This stunning elopement feature captures the purest of love. Stella and Nolan traveled the the world as their love bloomed. Along the way they collected many treasures , all of which they incorporated into their wedding day. They were married in a California forest along side a beautiful lake. When they began planning their elopement they were confident that they did not want to limit themselves to only only specific concept. Their elopement included a variety of styles that ranged from bohemian, eclectic, bold colors, and geometric shapes.

OUR FIRST HOME >>> THE KEEFER ADVENTURE JOURNAL
There's something really great about moving forward, finding the deal you were looking for, purchasing your first home (even if it does have wheels) .... but there's something way greater than that... meeting new friends and making a wonderful connection. (Keep reading, it will all make sense) haha.
Mr. Shannon & Mrs. Arla, our new friends.
If you've been following, I announced a bit ago that Kermit and I are headed West for a bit for a long adventure. Our plans were to move into a house on the California Coast. The more we thought about it we were unsure of how long we'd want to be in that location and knew we'd still have wanderlust and always looking to the next hot spot to travel to and check out. With that travel bug in mind we decided instead of signing a lease for a year on a home we would just purchase an RV and dive into "tiny house living" on the wide open road across America (mainly out West). I'm happy to announce after wayyyyyy too much research we finally found our rig and it's our very first home purchase as husband and wife! I saw the listing, we toured it just hours later, and 3 days later it was ours and in our drive way. This just happened 2 nights ago and we're still in shock! hahah. We couldn't have bought it from better folks who we will now call friends. They both share a love for adventure and travel and have been so many places in their lives, it's truly been an inspiration connecting with them. I feel like everything lined up and worked out exactly as it should have. (As much as I wanted to be impatient and give up sometimes on our search).
So, here it is! Our Rig... our new home.. our tiny home.. our first real home that's ours. I can hardly wait to get my crafty hands on it and trick it out with personal touches. <Stay tuned for a peek inside> It's 35ft long and the back 10feet is a garage, it's a Toy Hauler so we can load our motorcycles and carry them with us on this journey. It's quite a shock to work on transitioning from 2500 square feet with garages down to 200 square feet of living space!!! When I got the word "simplify" tattooed on my arm last year I never knew I would execute that to this extreme but it's feeling awesome and I cannot wait to share more about this journey of living simple, making the best of time and trading stuff for experiences. It's definitely emotional and exciting.
Standing in our new tiny 10x8ft garage. The first thing Kermit did was roll my dual sport in here and I've gotta tell ya... it's beyond awesome to sit on our new couch, look at our kitchen and see our motorcycles at the same time!! I yelled "WHOA! YOU JUST DROVE MY BIKE INTO OUR HOUSE!!! Hahaha.. Tiny house living will have its perks.
The previous owners saying goodbye..... We promise to carry on the adventure :)
Thanks so much for following along with us on this journey. Feel free to leave comments below! We'd love to hear from you. Many people have been asking and once we get on the open road we will have a dedicated website with resources, youtube channel, blog, etc. for everyone to follow along. I also want to inform you that this is not a far fetched dream, so don't have in your mind your entire life " wow, wish I could do that"... Here's the truth... our new home cost LESS THAN MY CAR!!! So, get out there and adventure! Don't make excuses :) LIVE YOUR LIFE. Thanks for stopping by.

THE BIG ADVENTURE 2016 > TRINITY & KERMIT
“We travel because we need to,
because distance and difference
are the secret tonic to creativity.
When we get home, home is still the same.
But something in our mind has changed,
and that changes everything.” ~John Leher
I document lives for a living. I LOVE IT. Every time I get to photograph the love you share with that special someone on your wedding day, the giggles of your family, or the sweet yawn of a your newborn, my heart skips a beat. I get to live life with so many people and be there for the moments in life that are most precious. It always fills me with great joy.
This year, it is time for me to document my life. My husband, Kermit, and I work hard. We love what we do and love our lives, but we have the opportunity to do something amazing. We are going on an adventure, OUR big adventure. Kermit and I are headed to Northern California for a year.
While based in California for a year, I will be back in York, PA once a month throughout the summer: shooting weddings and booking your family sessions. Each of these visits home will be posted well in advance so you can book your session.
We will be heading West this Spring and couldn’t be more excited. I care deeply for each of you, my clients, who have instilled in me love, friendship and a sense of family I could have never imagined. This adventure would not be possible without you.
For anyone reading this, no matter what your dreams of adventure are, they are possible. Work hard. Take a leap of faith. Know that risk is worth it.
All my love,
Trinity
PS - If you are planning an adventure, tell me about it! I want to hear about your lives. If you have explored in California, give Kermit and me your recommendations and experiences. We want to hear about it!

2015 WAS HAPPY! > Trinity Walker Keefer Personal post
2015 was a great year! I worked about 7 days a week almost every week.. in between that we were able to squeeze in tons of fun and adventure! We try and see the greatness in every day and seize any opportunity we get to have fun! Here's just a few randomly chosen highlights of our personal year through mostly cell phones. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities! I want to encourage everyone to make the most of their time. Time is so valuable, make sure you live a life with no regrets. Take chances... push yourselves.. you never know what will unfold in your life. :)
Special THANK YOU to all of my wonderful clients! May your new year be bright and full of awesome new memories!!!
*** It was really difficult not to post pictures of everyone and everything!! I didn't want to break the internet! hahah ***
