ABOUT Tricia (TMezz)

Toddlewood®, a captivating project founded by Tricia Messeroux, a New York photographer turned film director, transformed ordinary children into extraordinary celebrity icons and historical figures. Through breathtaking photographs, Toddlewood captures the essence of these stars. Tricia’s background in advertising, working with renowned brands such as Oreo, Nabisco, General Mills, and Cheerios, paved the way for her success as a creative entrepreneur. She has worked in prestigious ad agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and Foote Cone & Belding. Despite achieving great heights as one of the youngest Black, Female, Senior Vice Presidents in the world, Tricia felt creatively stifled. She yearned to create on her own terms and utilize her innate talent to entertain, influence, and inspire.

In 2009, Tricia brought her vision to life by launching Toddlewood as a fun photography project. Her three-year-old daughter, who bore a striking resemblance to Diana Ross, became her muse. What began as a simple idea quickly evolved into a global media phenomenon. Tricia and her Toddlewood team have been featured on top-tier shows like The View, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, Tamron Hall, and Access Hollywood.

Tricia’s creativity and energy have paved the way for her success in both her business ventures and her relationships with partners, children, families, and the media. Throughout the years, Tricia and her team of skilled creative professionals have been the backbone of Toddlewood.

In 2016, Tricia wrote an eight-part TV series titled “Are You Ready For Toddlewood.” However, the series remained on the shelf for seven years. In 2022, Tricia transformed the series into a feature-length film and self-funded its production. More than 2,000 kids and adults auditioned for roles in this movie, which was completed in 2023. Welcome to “Toddlewood: The Agency.” This movie is not an imitation of the original Toddlewood photography concept. It is quite different but with the same sort of energy. This movie consisted of over 40 on-camera talent, over 7 locations, a performance by an up and coming Christian rapper, an Alvin Ailey principle dancer, an amazing kid singer/pianist and more. her small production team of 5 camera, audio, grip, DP and her 2 producers and 4 executive producers made this come to life.
