HI! LOVELY TO MEET YOU โ€”

Iโ€™M TESS

Mother / INFP / Middle Child / Enneagram Two / Idealist | Dreamer

On any given day you can find me out adventuring with my two boys, exploring ways to fill my God-given creative outlet. Unwinding at the end of a busy day cuddled up with my kiddos - Watching Bluey, doing crossword puzzles and ending the day indulging in my guilty pleasures - snacks & trashy reality tv shows.

Capturing intimate stories between loved ones has been a passion of mine ever since my mom first handed me her Nikon. I feel beyond blessed to have the opportunity of gifting others such special keepsakes that will be treasured, forever. Iโ€™m just here to comfortably assist you in pressing pause on the moments that genuinely represent your most real, raw and cherished connections.
