Welcome Traci!!!
We are so excited to welcome designer Traci Murphy to the MemoryMixer design team. We love her designs and know you will too. Here is about Traci:
Traci
has always had an affinity for photography, growing up with a father
who was a
photo junkie. But it was when her daughter was born that her true love
of
photography and design emerged. In an effort to capture every moment
and
preserve those memories, she started scrapbooking.
This
inspired her to step it up and study how photographers capture amazing
shots.
Traci started with baby steps - a little Powershot - and when she
bought a
Canon Rebel XT and her first 50mm lens, she was officially hooked,
which is evidenced
by all the groans she hears from her children whenever she pulls her
camera out
of the bag.
Once
Traci had a better understanding of photography, she began designing
digital
scrapbooking products for guinea pigs - her friends - to use. In 2006,
she opened
a digital scrapbooking store, Traci Murphy Designs. Just one year
later, she
joined partner Corina Nielsen to open Funky Playground Designs. She now
sells
digital scrapbooking products in both stores and recently joined the
design
team at Pink Ink Studios, where she sells graphic resources for
professional
photographers.
In
the fall of 2008, Traci took the plunge and began taking photographs
professionally. She specializes in on-location lifestyle photography in
the
areas of maternity, newborn, infants and children, families and seniors.
Traci
has an affinity for real-life photographs taken in natural light. Her
goal is
to capture the essence of what is real and what is "you" with each
click.
Her
style is a little eclectic, but is often described as chic. She moves
with the
groove and loves incorporating a variety of different effects to photos.
Traci
is a huge sports fan and enjoys self-defense classes. She can make a
cloverleaf
shape with her tongue and can often be found dancing with her kids in
the
living room.
She
currently lives in sunny and warm Tampa with her husband, Greg, and
their three
beautiful children, Delaney, Colin and Derek.
Check out these designs by Traci, and look for much more to come:
