We have a long history, photography and I. Long story short: photography pursued me for years, and I played hard to get. I flirted with it in high school, but treated it like a fling. Unable to fully commit, I kept it at a safe distance during college (#lenswithbenefits).
I even married another profession, but divorced it after a few years when I realized photography had my heart. 

Photography is what I was made to do. 

I tried to break up with photography.

Let me share something embarrassing with you
 



A guest came up to me at a wedding I was photographing and said, “You must really love doing this. You’ve been smiling all night!”
  
I absolutely love what I do. It's an honor to be trusted with capturing such a meaningful day in a couples' life and to tell their story the way I know it deserves to be told. I'm excited to show you a glimpse into the way I see the world through my lens. 




I live with my fashion designer fiancé, a really old golden retriever, and a kitten who found her way to us in October 2023 through the cat distribution system. I’m a devoted plant mom of 50ish plants (and counting). My favorites have names. I travel as much as my wallet will let me, and sometimes when it doesn’t. I rewatch the entire series of Mad Men once a year. I get tipsy off 2 sips of wine. I blame all of my best and worst personal qualities on being half Italian. My childhood nickname was TJ and I miss it. Most people call me Tiff.





If you know what that means, we already have plenty to talk about. If you’re clueless, don’t worry. I’d be happy to talk your ear off about personality types when you have five hours to spare. I’m a licensed mental health counselor. I love all things related to personality, birth order, human behavior- all that jazz. I’ve come to find that many of my counseling skills easily transfer to my work as a photographer. My listening and empathy skills are on point. Plus, if you get a case of wedding day jitters, I’ve got you.

let's create together

I will never forget the time
