Who Is Tess Maree?

Oh hey there! I’m Tess Maree, the ring leader of this crazy little circus That Little Studio Co and I photograph LIFE! I’m a visual storyteller at my core, forever captivated by the experiences that surround me and connect us all. I have a deep desire to live authentically & make deeper connections with everything I do in life; this philosophy integrates into my creative work/life.

At 14 I witnessed how fragile & precious memories can be be when my Dad was diagnosed with Dementia. The experience inspired me to pick up my first camera that a very treasured friend gave me, a Pentax ME Super film camera. As I’ve travelled throughout my life, this camera along with an updated DSLR has accompanied me and captured the worlds tiny subtleties within quiet moments.

I have a passion for wholesome foods & as a self-confessed food, coffee and cafe connoisseur (aka food-snob). The first thing I do when planning a visit to a destination is food, cafe & restaurant research. My intention is to eat my way through whatever town I am visiting. You could call me a food floozy, I wouldn't mind. Drool-worthy food photography gets my rocks off, I can peruse #foodporn for days.

My photo collections are a celebration of the beauty and diversity of this incredible world we live in. I share them in the hope they rouse your sense of adventure & deliver some wonderment to your day.
