YOUR MEMORIES,
YOUR STORY

Hi, I’m Tess! Originally from Wisconsin, I now call South Jersey home, where I live with my husband and our two pups. I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember, and over the years, photography has become so much more than a passion—it’s how I tell stories. My goal is to make every session fun, natural, and pressure-free, so you can simply be yourself while I capture the moments you’ll cherish forever.

5 fun facts about your photog:

1. i was an elementary teacher for 6 years

2. my go-to karaoke song is Hold On by Wilson Phillips

3. with a hockey coach husband, you can typically find me in an ice rink any given Friday & Saturday

4. i'm a proud rescue dog mom to Charlie & Murphy

5. i will never turn down Taco Bell drive through
