CAPTURING THE BEAUTY OF YOUR STORY
My name is Tessa Eftimiades —artist and firm believer in everyday magic, and making ordinary days beautiful.
Tessa E Studios isn't about photos, it's about experience and art. I know what it feels like to hate to get your photo taken and hide from the camera. That’s why I created this space for you. So you can make your own story—whether that means feeling powerful in your own skin, finally seeing your beauty, capturing your child’s wild imagination, or capturing your magic side wandering the woods. ​​
always been attracted to the whimsical and magic in this world. I love to show it through painting, poetry, photography, music and drawing.
I believe if we stop for a moment and observe, the trees turning red, the steam from a morning cup of tea, that first bite of steaming home-made bread and jam, that life becomes all the more special.
I use a lifetime of romanticizing daily life, focusing on imagination, emotion, and your experience to create something true and unique to you. Together, we’ll co-create art that tells you, or your little ones story.
​
​
This isn’t just about photos;It’s about remembering life can be magical, reclaiming your beauty,and preserving the little moments that matter.
Why choose me
I'm not someone who's just picked up a camera.
​
I studied photography and media art throughout my education, and art/art history throughout Europe and Japan for ten years.
Since moving back to the United States, i've taken courses and mentorship studies under renowned artists/ photographers such as Richard Sturdevant and Chris Fritchie.
I am always in a course or class honing my skills, my craft, and learning.​
​
When you choose me, you choose someone with years of applicable knowledge who draws inspiration from global art culture, and an appreciation for the whimsical and romantic.

​
By the end of our time together I guarantee you will say one of three things: either "I've always wanted to do that!", "It's like looking out of their eyes!" or "Wow, thats me?!"
This is more than a photoshoot. It’s an experience.
