Hi, I'm Tessa

A photographer based in Northern Virginia.

My goal with every session is always the same: to tell authentic stories through natural light and heartfelt connection.

I specialize in lifestyle sessions that feel full of love. Whether we’re chasing your kiddos through an open field or capturing intimate moments between you and your person, I am drawn to the candid, unscripted, and beautifully imperfect moments.

My style leans into warmth, movement, and emotion. I want you to laugh, snuggle, twirl barefoot, give lots of hugs and kisses, and forget that the camera is even there. Because that’s where the magic lives. In between the frames.

My love for photography began in the most nostalgic way. My mom used to surprise me with disposable film cameras, letting me document everything from camping trips to backyard adventures. At 15, she gave me my first digital camera, and I’ve had a lens in my hand ever since.

Encouraged by my incredibly supportive husband, I followed my heart into building this business and it’s been nothing short of fulfilling.

When I’m not photographing other people’s moments, I’m savoring my own. I love long days with my kids, enjoying a cup of coffee, and finding beauty in my everyday life.

I can't wait to hear from you!
