BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT TESSA

Born and raised in the Great Smoky Mountains. I grew up on a cattle farm, where weekends were spent chasing tadpoles and lightning bugs.

I'm a 32 year old wife & mama to 4 kids and 1 doggo. Most days you can find me with a cup of coffee and a historical fiction novel, or watching Law & Order SVU. I'm a creature of habit and don't venture away from the things that make me comfortable.
