For those of you who are new here (and for those who’ve been rocking with me for a while)…
Hi,
I’m Tess.
I’m an LA-based media professional, bodybuilding athlete chasing the stage, business entrepreneur, and helicopter dog mom. 🎥🏋🏼♀️🐺
I’ve been studying and practicing film & photography since I was a teenager, always entranced by the beauty around me. I fell in love with nature, national parks, and the wild as a young woman and while I love capturing media everywhere, the outdoors will always hold a special place in my heart. That’s where my storytelling began.
My Core Values:
Authenticity > everything.
I believe authenticity is the highest frequency, it’s how I choose to live, create, and connect. I aim to capture the true essence of my subject, which means embracing imperfections, idiosyncrasies, and everything in between. Real stories are never polished all the way down, and that’s the beauty of them.
I live by integrity, passion, drive, grit, fortitude, and the pursuit of excellence. I don’t stop until the work is done. I’ll always go to great lengths to achieve the vision, whether it’s in the gym, in business, or behind the lens.
My Style:
Hard to box in.
Moody yet vibrant. Cinematic yet real. Professional with a dramatic edge. My mission is to move people through their senses, to create art that doesn’t just look good, but makes you feel something.
This page is a home for that work:
the stories, the grit, the beauty, the art.
Thanks for being here 🖤
