From the time I was a young girl, I carried a camera in my backpack wherever I went. Even then, I knew that life was unfolding in front of me and the importance of preserving those memories. I bonded over photography with my father, who would often accompany me on photography adventures as I grew as a young artist with black and white film. It was my dad who originally gave me the nickname, “Tesora,” which is the Italian word for “sweetheart” with a homemade feminine twist.

IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU
was born years later, out of a deep love and appreciation for my own family roots. Family is the most important thing to me, and I weave that love into my business so that I can gift you with the most authentic memories. After a decade of photographing large, luxury wedding affairs, I am so excited to shift my focus to documenting your motherhood journey or small, intimate vow exchanges. Having photographed hundreds of high-end weddings from New York City to Newport, I feel confident in my abilities as an artist to handle any situation with grace. I am so happy to go on this journey with you excited to work with you.

TIMELESS
ARTFUL
WARM-HEARTED
IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE THIS DREAM BUSINESS IN THREE WORDS, THEY WOULD BE
Before I became a wedding photographer, I knew that my heart was drawn to timeless motherhood and family images. When I photographed large weddings, my favorite part of the day was witnessing the bride’s mother and her reaction; you could see years of nostalgia and pride flowing and churning and it was a bond I wanted to immediately document. Having shifted my photography focus to match what my heart became drawn to, I truly feel that there is nothing more beautiful than documenting the bond of motherhood that you share with your children.
WHAT I DO
THE HEART BEHIND
These times are fleeting, gone quicker than the blink of an eye. While raising a family can at times feel a little stressful, I feel that my calling is to preserve a time in your life that you’ll soon long for. My dream is for my images to create art that adorn your walls for years to come. The bond I create with my clients makes those organic images possible.
