Pineapple is indeed delicious on pizza😍
Chocolate chip cookies are not the best cookies🍪
Slides are wack should never be worn (@ my sister)
Fight me😂

I love all my couples and what I get to do and create every single day.
When couples become friends and when my friends become my couples😭
I remember asking Tea and Cam to “model” for me to help build my portfolio, and then they got engaged and I shot the proposal and now married!!!😍
There are no words to describe how grateful I am to be able to capture these memories for my friends and for every couple that books with me
love you all ❤️]()

PRINT those babies!! You mostly likely paid some💸 cha-ching and they’re just living in the cloud or on Facebook when the could be living on your walls for very one to admire you and compliment you on?
Make it make sense!?
This is something I’m soo passionate about. Because printing photos is like lost on our generation. Looking through albums or boxes of photos is an unmatched feeling.
Don’t believe me? Buy an album or some prints and you’ll see just you wait
Be honest! When was the last time you printed photos? Let me know in the comments]()

Options are endless but ultimately whatever you feel most confident is what you should wear.
The outfit is an added bonus not the initial package.
Spring mini sessions are coming and I can’t wait!! Seeing your families grow is one of the best parts of what I do!
But, moving forward mini sessions will be the only way to book me for your family session 🙉
This has been on my heart for a while and now feels like the right time. Frankly, there are some amazing photographers that just do it SO much better than me and love it just as much as I love weddings and shooting couples. So, if you’ve been dying for a family session sign up through the link in my bio to be notified when you can book your mini session😊]()

1️⃣ make a list of every possible combination of the family members you want to be photographed on your wedding day and give this list to your photographer
2️⃣ appoint a point person to help your photographer call out names and gather your people. This person should know everyone by name and face so they can help the photographer assemble each combination quickly and efficiently
3️⃣ Got lots of family?? Consider a first look so that you don’t have to rush through portraits and you can get every photo you want!
You’d be surprised how hard transitions are even for adults😂 and family portraits usually need a lot more time than you might think!

Living free and in the moment and not giving 2 potatoes about what anyone else might think about you.
Having an open mind, high hopes, but zero expectations.
You see because photos just capture a moment in time but how you feel in that moment is what truly matters.
You’ll remember that feel more than anything else. So, be kind to yourself, to who you’re with and just let go enjoy.
You deserve it.]()

Seriously the number one question I’m always asked is your name pronounced (tor-ez) or (ter-rez) honestly all sounds the same to me🤷🏽♀️
But anyways I thought it’d be fun to do two truths and a lie
1 I played two instruments while growing up the flute and violin. I even played the violin in Carnegie Hall when I was a freshman in high school🎻
2 I went to college in upstate NY where I played D2 soccer for two years, we went to the final 4 my freshman year and lost in penalty kicks 😢
3 I majored in biology in college with a concentration in cell/molecular biology and minored in psychology and I want to be a pediatrician🩺
What do you guys think? How well do you know me? Let me know which one is the lie in the comments👇🏽👇🏽]()

Definitely easier said than done but let me get you a few of my “hot takes”
Fake it till you make it. I will fake laugh till my stomach hurts and hit you with all the dad jokes if it means getting that genuine smile out.
✨confidence✨ trust me - you guys looking STUNNING if people are staring it’s because you’re giving them a reason too 😍
Deep breaths and be present. Don’t worry about the drive back home or the 9 different chores you have to do focus on being in the moment and the rest will work itself out
