Tried And True Photography

✨ FALL MINIS ✨

I’m offering FOUR mini sessions on November 2nd at White Point Garden located next to the Battery in downtown CHS! I don’t offer minis very often as they’re not my favorite to connect with clients, but I’ve had lots of requests and would love to accommodate well loved and soon to be loved clients. 🤎 Photos will be available in your private gallery within two weeks, with plenty of time before the Holidays to order your family cards!

Available times:

🍃 4:50p
🍂 5:10p
🍃 5:30p
🍂 5:50p

Please reach out via FB direct message to schedule and book your mini session! I kindly ask for a $50 deposit when booking and the total will be due on the day before your session, November 1st. Rain date will be Sunday November 3rd. I’ll update this post as session times are booked. Can’t wait to see you and your fam in front of my camera soon! 📷

I can never just pick one, especially when it’s a Kiawah session 🌾

Obsessed with the light and love in these 💛☀️

My clients become friends or are friends who trust me enough to capture their once in a lifetime moments! 🥹🤍 it’s a blessing to be able to share these testimonials.

Hi there!! Just sending a mass message out to all of my current clients awaiting galleries or sessions. For those awaiting their gallery, I should have galleries done this week with all of the spare time I have due to my foot fracture. For those with booked sessions, I will contact you directly to make alternative plans if I haven’t already! Thankfully the fracture is very mild (despite the awful pain) and I should be on both feet again soon. It was definitely poor timing between starting my new full time job at MUSC recently and the current busyness of this business. Working hard to balance it all and make sure your photos are presented beautifully and with integrity! 🩷

Hell or High Water kind of love 🖤

Playing catch up on posting all of the amazing sessions over the past year and couldn’t pick a few so I went with sixteen 🤍 there’s something so special about capturing a family’s love and happiness. ☀️

A big congratulations to all of the 2024 graduates, especially this beautiful young lady! 🎓 We had a blast capturing the end of her high school career before she sets off on her new adventure in Washington!

Good morning to all! ☀️ I hope you had a joyous holiday season and a happy new year! I’ve unfortunately started my new year off with the flu and have been confined to my bed. 😷 The flu, specifically influenza A, is going around like wildfire according to my doctor. Please take all of the precautions you can during this season! With that being said, I’m a bit behind on editing but will resume this week. Thank you for your patience as I deliver your galleries! I cannot express my gratitude and how fortunate I feel after a plentiful year of new and returning clients. Thank you for your continued trust in me and faith in my work! 🩷 📷

When I send out your gallery, I always share my favorite lab for printing which is mpix.com - another huge bonus of my service includes access to the pic lab with pictime, where you can order prints directly from your gallery without any hassle! Not all printers are the same! 📄

Did you know that where you print matters?? It 10000% does. I always recommend to order your prints directly from your gallery to ensure that the colors are all printed correctly. Here's a great example of the same image printed from many different companies. A professional print lab is always the best choice.

So blessed to have so many clients return to work with me and allow me to capture their family! I love y’all so much. 🩵 🌊

I want to give a big shout out to all of my families I’ve worked with in preparation for this holiday season! You’ve filled my books and my heart. I’m so grateful for your trust in me! I’m still working on getting some galleries out but just wanted to share my love and gratitude during this season. 🍂🍃

Let’s actually laugh too 😝😂

Me telling my clients to fake laugh for the 15th time:

"Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through Birth." -Marci Macari

If this quote doesn’t describe this mama’s strength and power, I will! Capturing this mama’s birth was so beautiful, provoking, and raw. Her moments of doubt, the moments of found strength, the moments of joy, and ultimately sweet relief! The culmination of so many moments of waiting to meet their baby girl… priceless.

Before four became five… ☀️

I couldn’t choose just one! 🥹 More to come from these sweet maternity session with one of the cutest toddlers to walk the beach 🌊

These little moments… ☁️🌙

Under the pines 🌲☀️ I wholeheartedly believe I have the most wonderful, stunning, and kindest clients in the lowcountry! I have one more session open for July and only a few left for August. Books are now OPEN for the fall season! 😍

A little wind and bright sunshine made for the cutest sibling photos at Wild Dunes 🌾

Time slows down for no one, let’s meet at the beach and capture the moment 🌊

Allow me to reintroduce myself!😎 Shoutout to the genius behind the 📷: !!! 🩵 And a huge shoutout to for hosting us at .studio to do some headshot work! The studio was to die for and a truly wonderful place to work our magic. Photogs get excited about our photo galleries too! 😉😍

I only have a two or three more sessions available for July and I’m starting to book into August! I’ll then be preparing to book for fall photos and styled sessions for the holidays! 🍂🎄 My family session prices have been raised to reflect the growth of this business! I am so thankful to all of my amazing clients in the past, present, and future for your full trust and support of my small business. I’m looking forward to capturing the summer and fall season with you! 📷🎞️

Y’all!!!! This session was so good and Hunter was such a champ working with myself and his mama to get some pre-college portraits downtown. It is NEVER too late to have pre-college portraits done! The transition into college can be exciting, busy, overwhelming, and sometimes sad (maybe happy too) for parents. Let’s capture the in between together! 🎓

This name change for my business wasn’t well thought out… it was impulsive, not in my plans, and it was still extremely right for me. When considering a name change, I knew I wanted a name with two T’s in honor my son (Teddy) and I. I also knew I wanted it to embody who I am as a person, my work, and the relationships with my clients. This name came to me out of nowhere and it immediately stuck with me! I’m a lover of the ocean and I immediately feel calm at, in, and near the water. It feels true to me hence the waves in my logo. The circle around the text signifying the trust and care for my clients; the circle of trust if you will. Thank you for trusting me and being part of my story as a person, mother, woman, and businesswoman! I’m looking forward to the journey ahead as I learn you and your family, and continue to learn me. All of my love, Theresa 🤍

This location was extremely special to my clients as they came to this beach in the past with their missing piece and beloved husband and father who is watching and loving on them both from heaven. 🕊️ It was an honor and privilege to accompany them and capture beautiful moments! 🤍☁️

We’re finally taking our long awaited (3 years later) honeymoon! 🌴🌊 Please continue to send your inquiries and questions and I’ll be more than happy to respond starting June 5th 🩷 Have a safe and relaxing MDW, y’all! 🇺🇸

Baby Archie was an absolute dream to capture along with his wonderful family! So many giggles and love shared in this home 🤍

I’m honored to share some highlights from a very special session of mother and son embracing their nursing journey together! Nursing photos are by far my favorite memories to capture. Let’s go all out together and make some magic 🪄✨

🫶🏻 Down to get in the water? I’ll be right there with you! The water is my happy place and I was THRILLED we got to have some fun 🌊

These two! That’s all 🩷
