    "tess, your photos are the perfect combination of raw and vibrance (but not literally, the kind where you kick up the saturation like adfjksl; or shoot in RAW). both your digital and film leaves me in wonder of the stories you tell with your pictures. never, ever stop creating."

    She is such a beautiful person who isnt afraid to be who she is and who doesnt pretend to be someone else. She is already an incredible photographer who will only get better and better and better, and I hope to be able to see where she goes, because she's still young and I know she'll go far.

Each photo reflects a beauty, emotion, and mood that makes the photo so unique. She makes it look effortless, and yet her photos have a depth and complexity that is impossible to imitate. Tess, you are so inspirational, and I'm really, really, really glad that I found your stream.

The tones to your photos are amazing. You take some amazing photos Tess. Never give up! You inspire me so much! And well, I also love your indie triangle, lol.

    "Ever since I discovered Tess on here, I have been obsessed with her stream.
    Each image is a beautiful piece of art. Perfect composition, lovely light, captivating pose. Her edits are also amazing. Seriously, each picture has a somewhat different style of editing, and therefore her stream is filled with a ton a variety. And of course, it looks as if she has been editing all her life, because each style of editing is flawless. Utterly flawless.

    But of course, photography is more than mere technique. So I must say that the mood that each one of Tess's pieces radiates is that of melancholy and grace. She creates a little world in each image, and though the atmosphere isn't always full of joy, it is certainly beautiful. Lovely and dreamy, this is a world that I would love to visit just to be able to take in all of the emotions.

    Bacially, I look up to you so much."

    Tess is this wonderful person, which you can instantly interpret through her unique self portraits which portray emotion, creativity, and heart. She has some of the best photographs with the use of expression, which are eye catching and beautiful. I love the way she uses light as a form of capturing emotion as well, which is creative technique. Though her portraits are simple, they are complex on so many levels and are completely gorgeous. I don't doubt Tess for one second on her photography and I will continue to follow her stream."
