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.

Get to know me better!

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!!

THE STORIES I TELL..


Telling Your Story Through Filmโ€ฆ

Where your emotions, connections and authentic interactions meet my perspective and creativity. I believe in doing things differentlyโ€” uniquely, with honest intention, passion, and with you and your loved ones at the core of it all. Every detail captured reflects the intuitive vision.

Storytelling Sessions for the lovers

We all have those familiar, special spaces with our person that feel like home - Donโ€™t we? Those routines or rituals we almost unknowingly fall into. The familiar places ad unstructured patterns we get used so to - the ones we only realize are there when we stop to enjoy them? Maybe itโ€™s something as simplistic as the grocery store you end up at every Sunday evening - or your favourite trail to walk your dog on Sunday afternoons - maybe itโ€™s be the pizza parlour where you had your first date in high school or your favourite hangout spot at the ice cream shop by the river - Wherever your โ€œhomeโ€ is - allow me to assist you in finding where your humble abode might be and taking that unexplainable nostalgic feeling you and your partner both have and create it into something tangible. Your journey as a couple matters. Your children and future grandchildren would be privileged to have something real to hold onto. The story theyโ€™ll remember your love by.
