one of my favorite places to shoot is in the comfort of peoples humble lil abodes 🏡

why? well, homes are sacred & its a privilege to be welcomed into someone’s space. i get to document where they live their day-to-day life & showcase the love within their home for exactly what it is.

but tess, what if my house doesn’t “look good for pictures?” …

i’m gonna stop you riiiiight there. let me remind you - you LIVE there! you do not need a perfectly curated home for it to be worthy of an in-home session. don’t let pinterest or celebrities or influencers sway you into believing otherwise - although i know it’s not always easy!

keep in mind, what matters most will never be how your home looks - it will always be how it feels when you’re in it 💗

the Fitzgerald crew didn’t come for average family photos - they came for some banger album cover-esque photos. needless to say, i think we certainly did it justice 🤘🏼

my peeps can always come to me with an idea or vibe for their session whether it’s a family, senior, maternity, or couples session. whatever it is, i will make it happen - just say the word 🪄

The Lucas family are no strangers to me - i’ve been around & taking care of their girlies since i was 17, that’s 8 yrs (& counting) 🤯

in those 8 yrs i’ve been the ride giver, the crafter, the reader, the basketball player, board game loser, boo boo kisser, & tear dryer a time or two. i’m the girl, oop sorry, WE are the girls with windows down, dancing, screaming lyrics. lyrics to songs that were mine, now turned OURS. birds of a feather will always be special to me 🥹

TJ & the girls were buds from day one & if i didn’t already know TJ was the one, that sure sealed the deal. it has been the best gift to love & treat these little girls as my own. teenage tess never imagined “babysitting” would turn long lasting - or that my love for them would grow the way it has. watching them become who they are has been one of the sweetest parts of my life. i’m a very proud auntie / sister / fairy god mother 🧚🏼‍♀️🥰
