I’ve started to set an intention recently to be able to travel to document motherhood through the art of photography. I love being local, but travel runs deep through my soul.

The moment I met Nikki-Lynn and Matthew, I knew they were an amazing fit and was so hopeful that we would be able to work together for their wedding photography.

This year has truly been one of the best for Tesora on so many levels. In particular, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting people that have made this endeavor so much more rewarding. Stephanie and Steve are no exception to that, as we instantly clicked after meeting at Bow Bridge in Central Park for their […]

It was the moment they had waited for. Chrissy stepped out from behind the white curtains arm-in-arm with her father and started the walk down the aisle to her soulmate. When their eyes met, everything else melted away. It still surprises me when I’m hit with raw emotion during a wedding day; maybe because I […]

My favorite thing about being a photographer is meeting wonderful people and then being able to turn around and give them something to cherish for years to come. I can honestly say that I am a better person for knowing them, for learning their stories, and for being present for their greatest of days. Before […]
