Meet Traci
I’m so excited to have Traci Bellinger as part of the KNP team. She is our fabulous hair and makeup artist and has had her cosmetology license for 30 years. She is the owner of Tres Bien Salon in New Haven for the last 9 years. Additional credits include working at Channel 8 as a hair and makeup artist, is a former Miss CT (1995), and a Miss USA contestant. (Yes, she still has her sash…)
Warm and welcoming, Traci will help you feel your best through a natural makeup application that highlights your best features and keeps you authentically YOU. She is well-versed in all skin and hair types and specializes in ethnic hair. Traci is happy to chat ahead of shoots with our clients to answer any specific hair or skin questions so you feel at ease the day of your photoshoot.

CHOOSE YOUR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Why I do, what I do:
Getting older means more responsibilities: kids, spouses, jobs, aging parents, pets… the list can feel endless! It’s so easy to get lost in the shuffle. I took on new titles besides just “Kelley” and who I was at my core. Suddenly I was someone’s mother, wife, employee, boss, daughter. I’ve been all these things. When do we have a chance to just stop and be who we are at our center? When do we decide to finally love the skin we’re in? For years I would take care of so many others, forgetting how important it is to take care of ME. Sound familiar?
When I was 10, I would sit on my bed with a calculator and see how old I would be in certain years. I remember calculating that in the year 2018, I would turn 50. 50!? My mother wasn’t even that old at the time. I thought, wow, that’s OLD. Little did I know that at 50, I would celebrate by having my own photoshoot in NYC. The things I would tell my 10 year old self are:
You don’t feel that old. You feel like you’re still young!
That with age, comes wisdom, experience and a new attitude that life is meant to be lived.
That age is a state of mind.
That you will still have audacious dreams.
We all have a story to tell. It’s an ever evolving story. What’s yours?

As seen in:
Kelley Norcia Photo Shoots
The e-list writes: “What I love about Kelley’s portraiture is that you see the person, not the makeup or hair (but that’s included in her session). There’s something so real in her work that you know she has created an environment of comfort and security, often the most difficult part of a successful sitting. “
The Portrait System Podcast
In 2021, I was interviewed on The Portrait System Podcast. To say this was a dream come true would be an understatement. Have a listen as I talk about building my business from the ground up in 2015, what I’ve learned along the way and where we are headed next.
Reinvention Rebels Podcast
Reinventing yourself is no easy feat, especially after 50. But that’s what I’ve been doing these past 6 years starting in 2015. I hope you enjoy this podcast Reinvention Rebels as Wendy Battles and I talk portraits, overcoming fear, and forging forward anyway.
