ABOUT ME

Meet  teresa

I’m Teresa, a hybrid photographer based out of Southern California (between Los Angeles & Santa Barbara), specializing in engagements & weddings, maternity, newborn & family portraits.

I believe that my early love for photography began from the stories I saw in photos. Since I can remember, I have loved to sift thru old photographs, especially photos of my young grandparents and even younger parents.  Scanning each photo for every. single. detail. while trying to imagine what life was like. The photos told their story, sometimes shared their secrets but always held their moments that could never be replicated.  


HEY!  I'm so glad you're here!

I'm a dreamer & storyteller at heart. I'm inspired by real moments, soft color palettes & ethereal light. What I love about photographing weddings is that, no two weddings are alike but every wedding has many facets - tender moments, stunning details, romantic portraits, and heartfelt memories.

In 2010, after working in the corporate world for most of my adult life, I realized that I wanted to be a full time creative entrepreneur. Since then, I've been honored to capture hundreds of beautiful stories.

When I'm not documenting love stories, I'm usually laughing with my best friend Tony (aka husband) and our three amazingly cool kids.

I was not afraid to fall in love with these people."

PARIS

Paris is crazy beautiful and beaming with romance.  Like no other city I've been to and I've been dreaming of returning since the day we left.

I LOVE...painting watercolors, art supplies, opening a new journal, really good pens, really good markers, notebooks, luxury paper goods, sketching, drawing, art stores... I could go on.  

Anything with caffeine but I really love a white chocolate mocha. ICED or HOT.  

My favorite details to photograph are definitely the florals. I could get lost in the flowers!

French Linens. Enough said.

The best & craziest part of life.
