"I dreaded headshots for years, but Teresa made it not only painless but enjoyable—and I ended up loving my pictures!"

Dr. Carrie Wells

"Teresa exceeded all my expectations, from senior portraits to headshots for my dental office staff. Her ability to connect with people and bring their vision to life is unmatched!"

Dr. Amy Earwood

"Her skill in posing—tilting your head, moving your arms, and shifting your body—creates headshots that work every time."

– Aliyah Krehlik

Teresa was great to work with. We had to coordinate a shoot for a remote staff person who lives in Raleigh and they made it super easy to remotely coordinate getting her shot in studio. Great team. Super professional. Highly recommend.
