I am so glad you're here.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Tess Passinault. I began my photography career in 2017 and have never looked back since. From a very young age, I knew that this was what I would do for the rest of my life. Photography is way more than just a job to me; it quite literally is my whole world. I don't just take photos, I capture moments. I am constantly inspired by the life that surrounds me on a daily basis; inspired to create. I believe I was put on this Earth to capture its beauty.
It's so much more to me than just taking photos.
HOW I DO THINGS
I am passionate about not following the rules of photography.
What I mean by this is that I don't want all of your photos to be 'perfect', I want them to be real. I want you to be able to feel the moments again by looking at your photos. I want you to fall in love with the unexpected, unplanned, unposed photographs of yourself. I want you to see what I see.
We are going to get personal. We are going to learn to get close real quick, especially if you want me for a super intimate occasion. I love being vulnerable and real with my clients. Plus, it makes your photos even more beautiful when you're comfortable with me.
My take on photography is all things natural. From the booking process, to shooting, to the editing... I want your experience to be natural and easygoing. I love a good candid shot, but I make sure we get the important posed shots too. Trust me to take care of you.
THINGS I LOVE
My family consist of my favorite people in the world. My biggest support system and the people who I love most.
Wyatt. My best friend, the love of my life, my favorite person in the whole entire world. He is so supportive of me and my business and has been since day 1.
I am an art lover. I paint (oil, acrylic, watercolor). I sew. I knit. I work with clay. I do so many crafts and projects.
I love to travel. Northern + Western Michigan are beautiful. I love going up north and on Lake Michigan in the summer. I also fell in love with Western USA and can only hope that my work will take me there more often in the future.
Fall is the best season. Everything about it is perfect and I wish it was fall all the time.
Fashion is so fun. Once I started learning how to style my clothes on myself, I couldn't stop. I love fashion and I so strongly believe that if you love the way you look, you will fall in love with yourself more.
I think we will work together fantastically.
Let's get you booked.
