Come as you are, Really.
Right now you are worthy of being seen, and you don’t need to change a thing.
ABOUT TTOLBPHOTOG & WHAT SETS US APART
The imagery we create is candid, colorful and unique in the best way. Our work is a collaboration: we meet you where you’re at and trust fall into the creative process together. Our intention is to lead with curiosity, be mindful of what the moment/Universe is asking of us and make photographs that encapsulate your human experience. From our 10 years of being a professional photographer we know how to read the room and adjust how we show up accordingly. When you hire us to take your photos you’re choosing to co-create and be present in your reality and experience your life to the fullest!

REAL CONNECTION, REAL PEOPLE, REAL ENERGY
I’m sure I could say a million different ways on why you should hire me to take your photos, but truly I think it’s more of a feeling. A knowing, like when we meet or when you see my images- you just know?
I’m very hyper aware of the fleeting of it all. Everything is temporary, and the only constant is change. I believe with my whole being in divine timing and that where you are right now, in this moment is where you’re meant to be. (At least thats what I tell myself.)
I take pictures to remember what it feels like to be alive in the now, because thats all that truly exists. I take pictures to be able to remember the moment and loved ones long after they have passed. I take pictures for little keepsakes because my brain sees the world in an almost constant state of nostalgia-
I take pictures for myself to help “slow down” time and so that inevitably in one year or 5, or when I’m 80- I can look back and see “the good ole days”. How much life I’ve lived and how many others I’m lucky enough to do that for too. It helps us take a step back and see how rare our life on Earth really is.
My hope in being your photographer is to do the same for you- to leave our marks on the world ( in this case images) for us to see who we are today and enjoy the present before it becomes the past. To remember the good, the bad, the love, the laughter and everything else in-between.
I love creating art with people because it’s such an integral part of being human. To create art, is to give us something tangible about our humanity, to be seen, to be remembered and to share it with others. So as long as we are alive and above ground I wanna create as much as I can with as many of the beautifully, weird and wonderful humans that I’m lucky enough to cross paths with.
