Hello, I'm Tessa!

I have been a creative ever since I was a little girl, surrounded by a family filled with artists and makers. After graduating from the University at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I had finally settled in as an in-house graphic designer before getting married and having my son and daughter in quick succession. I left my career to be a stay at home mom but if you know anyone who is a creative.. that side of me just could not be contained to diapers and play dates. So I picked up my camera and dove right in! My kids are still my number one job and I am so lucky to be able to be able to spend so much time with them and create my schedule around their lives for now. But over the years.. your kids have also become my kids. I know their little freckles and grins by heart and look forward to seeing them as they grow from a baby bump to self-designated assistant photographer, pointing out all the good spots to me as we go.

It is a honor for me to document your growing family.

In August 2019, I leased my first studio space!! I am working hard on developing that side of my photography business but also having fun exploring some other forms of art that are difficult to do at home without taking over a dining room table.
