Hey, I'm Tess

Mother | Portrait Photographer

I’m Tess, mama to two adventurous little guys, Theo and Levi, wife to my best friend, Joe, and a former art educator turned full-time portrait photographer.

Over the last ten years, I’ve learned the true magic isn’t just in the images, it’s in the connections made along the way. It’s the in-between moments: unexpected laughter, quiet tenderness, and the joy of simply being together. Every session is a chance to pause time and capture something real. Something that feels like you.

I’m so glad you’re here!

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
