Trailer Trash Studio greeting cards grew out of my love of people, photography, costumes, and trailers. Each photo-shoot is the culmination of 40 years of collecting costumes and my relationships with the models. During a photo-shoot something magical occurs. We never know for sure just what or who will show up... but when all the right ingredients combine a new character is born! I am the lucky person who gets to capture those special moments.
I created the greeting cards to share those moments. I believe each character is a part of all of us: a piece of our collective personality. I create and share these cards with the belief that if we could take ourselves a little less seriously and laugh at ourselves the world would become a better place.
My models are not professional models. They are my friends and family. They are just regular people having a good time, wearing costumes that I have collected. Can you find them on the site?
