The TPC was started in January 2021 by our founder Shannon Alldredge with the help of Jessie Balderas and Christina Brock-Charney. It started out as a small group of photographers who would get together for small scaled styled shoots. As time went on, we began to grow and expand our organization.
Today we are proud to say that we are registered non-profit organization and now offer all inclusive memberships with so many incredible perks and incentives.

This is our story of how we got started!
In community over
competition!
Photography is fun and deserves to be enjoyed by anyone with interest!
Education and resources should be available to
everyone!
WE believe:
Christina
President
Christina’s primary function within the Collective is to help coordinate all the behind-the-scenes magic that helps us grow. She had the wherewithal to file the TPC as an official nonprofit organization and to partner up with big names like Panda Express to run our fundraisers. She makes sure this Collective has what it takes to last for years to come.
Christina spent most of her teen years growing up in Tartesso. As an adult, she moved back here with her little family of three in August 2019. She began practicing photography in 2012 and started her business in 2020.
Christina prefers shooting outdoors in natural light, but also enjoys the creative freedom of shooting in-studio with backdrops and props. Her style leans towards true-to-color and light.
Photography has always been a passion of hers, and she loves the growth and progress she sees with each session. She loves being able to freeze precious moments in time for others to cherish for a lifetime!
Christina specializes in weddings and couples photography as well as newborn and maternity.
Alicia
Vice President
Alicia is a mother, photographer, teacher, home and body shop co-owner, and proud officer of the TPC.
In September of 2021 she turned her passion for photography into a business! She started with her family (her son being her favorite model) until she grew confident and ventured into the world.
She was inspired by the Tartesso Photography Collective and loves empowering others and embracing natural beauty. She hopes to bring her vision to life for everyone who steps in front of her camera to see the beauty in themselves that she sees with the help of her handy lens.
Alicia helps plan and coordinate our styled shoots, workshops, and official TPC meetups, amongst other things! She really loves to lend a helping hand wherever she can.
