Rooted in the west
A little western. A lot of heart.
I believe life is about building connections and leading with your heart whenever you get the chance, and I try to bring that into each and every session of mine. Whether it’s an engagement, a growing family, or simply a time you never want to forget, I want your photos to show you just how beautiful your life truly is.
A relaxed, easy-going experience
You don’t have to know how to pose or know exactly what to do in front of a camera. I’ll guide you when you need it and give you room to enjoy the moment when you don’t. We’ll laugh, move around, slow down, and let things unfold naturally so your photos feel less like a photoshoot and more like you.
The best moments are usually the ones we don't plan.
Meet the Photographer
Hey,
I'm Tessa!
I’m a Northern Colorado photographer, a wife, a new mom, and someone who really loves the little things in life. I love getting to meet people, hear their stories, and create photographs that preserve the season they’re in right now. My sessions are relaxed, genuine, and focused on capturing you just as you are. I know being in front of the camera can feel intimidating, but when you book with me, I keep the energy light and fun so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

"Tessa was amazing to work with! My son isn’t always the most patient with photos, but she connected with him right away and made the whole session feel fun and easy. We both felt really comfortable and had so much fun during our mini-session! The turnaround was super quick, and I loved every single photo."

"Tessa took family photos for us and also did some headshots for my business. She did an absolutely wonderful job on both! She was great with the kids, made the shoot fun and easy and got us our pictures back to us in a short time frame. Highly recommend!!"
Alyssa Green
"We hired Tessa for our maternity photoshoot and then when our little one was born we reached out to her for an in-home newborn session. Tessa is wonderful to work with. She had lots of ideas for both of our sessions and the turn around was super quick. I would definitely recommend her!"
