Hi there!

First and foremost… yes… Teal is my real name (I get asked that A LOT!)

I believe the most meaningful images are born from connection, are deeply personal, honest, and effortless.

I'm a wife of 21 years, a proud mom to a beautiful daughter, and a lifelong lover of coffee and quiet mornings with my dogs. For two decades, my husband served in the U.S. Army, and together we lived a life of movement—exploring new places, embracing change, and collecting stories from around the world. That journey shaped not just who I am, but how I see the world.

Photography has been my professional craft for 10 years now, and it’s taken me across the globe, capturing the unique beauty of families in all stages of life. Now rooted in Arizona, I bring that global perspective and a refined, heartfelt approach to every session, blending natural elegance with emotion to create heirloom-quality imagery that feels timeless.

Beyond photographing families, I have a true passion for pouring into other photographers. I believe in community over competition, in sharing what I’ve learned openly—whether it’s business strategy, creative technique, or finding your voice as an artist. I’m an open book, ready to encourage and equip others to grow confidently and clearly.

This is more than my career. It’s my calling. And whether I’m documenting your story or helping you tell your own—I’m honored to be a part of the journey.
