What to Expect from Your Special Occasion Session

Ever wondered how to make your big day even more unforgettable? I’m Tess, and I’m here to turn your Utah special occasion into a gallery of timeless memories with Photos by Tess. We’ll start with a quick chat to plan your session—whether it’s a baptism in Bountiful, a senior shoot in Ogden, a graduation celebration in Provo, a professional headshot in Salt Lake City, a birthday bash, or a dreamy proposal moment. I’ll help pick the perfect spot and vibe, offering tips on outfits or props to make your photos pop. Every session is tailored to your unique story, so it feels just right.

On the day of your shoot, expect a fun, relaxed experience where you can shine. For baptisms and birthdays, I’ll catch every candid smile and joyful tear. Senior and graduation sessions? I’ll make you feel like a star with natural, glowing shots. Need headshots? I’ll ensure you look polished and confident. Proposals get my stealth mode—I’ll freeze that “yes” moment without being noticed! With over a decade of experience, I’m a pro at keeping everyone at ease, even during the busiest celebrations, so you can focus on the moment while I work my magic behind the lens.

After the session, I’ll edit your photos with care, delivering a stunning digital gallery within a week—often with a same-day sneak peek to share the excitement. You’ll have images to print, frame, and treasure for years. From milestone events to surprise proposals, I’m here to make your Utah special occasion unforgettable. Ready to freeze your big moment?
