Hi! Iโ€™m Tess,

Or mama - to my two favourite humans on earth. They are my heart and soul - the reason why I can see the love and light in others and effortlessly document your unexplainable love for another. Thereโ€™s a 200% chance Iโ€™ll be tearing up at your wedding or family session, sorry not sorry! Itโ€™s honestly only because I care so deeply for my clients and because motherhood has taught me how sentimental and fleeting these precious moments are.

KIND WORDS

From Past Clients

โ€œSo thankful I can remember this party forever because of these incredible photos."

I would absolutely recommend Tess! We hired her to photograph a Miami Vice themed party for my husbandโ€™s 30th birthday. The vibe of the whole evening really came across in the photos, she captured everything down to all the details and decor! The candid style of her photography absolutely exceeded my expectations!!

โ€œTess Photographed my wedding and I couldn't be more grateful. She was so kind and easy going, she captured photos that I look back on and feel like I'm still in that moment. I can't wait to rebook family photos with her next, would recommend her to everyone."
