Kia ora, I'm Tess.
I'm a photographer in beautiful Wellington, Aotearoa. My photography journey started out in front of the camera. Ironically, as I grew more confident, I felt comfortable enough to get behind it. 
I work as a Marketer and photographer for local businesses in Porirua. Through this work, I've realised my love for uplifting small businesses and giving them the tools to make their business successful. 

My photography style is spontaneous, in the moment, and organic. I'm less about directing and more about capturing those pure moments. I will guide you, but I try not to dictate as I love to shoot those quiet moments we often miss — the looks we give each other, the joy, the big laughs, and the big feelings.  


A few random facts about me:
I met my husband when I was on a two-week vacation in Canada.
I love photographing flowers — my favourite flower is the dahlia. 
I have a cat named Jeffrey Banana.
I'm known to be bubbly, loud and quirky but I'm also an introvert and a homebody. 
I love to read about true crime but I hate horror movies.
