it’s so nice to meet you

I’m Tero. I’m a wedding and family photographer based in Edmonton, Alberta. It’s important you know that this is an inclusive space. Everyone with a beating heart who values kindness is welcome here.

My why:

Life is fragile and time is precious. We’re reminded of that again and again⁠: in the slow days that turn into fast-gone years, in how quickly babies and our siblings grow up, and in the ache of losing someone we love.

These moments are all fleeting, and I want to savour them. Being able to look at a photograph and be taken back to a moment in your life feels invaluable to me. My work is about helping you hold onto the people and seasons you never want to forget.

This is why I photograph the way I do, and why I care so much about the quiet, ordinary pieces of your life as much as the big milestones.

Little bits about me:

• I’m a wife to my best friend, Nate. We got married on my Baba and Gido’s farm in 2019

• I am a mother to two young girls, Zoe and Scottie. They are the absolute lights of our lives

• We have two mini dachshunds, Frankie and Elly

• I am the most sentimental person I know—a sucker for handwritten letters, old home videos, grandpa's worn tools, and anything else that could make a heart all mushy

• I have a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design from the U of A

• I love hip-hop music, Pixar movies, and Second Cup coffee

• Audiobooks are key to keeping up with bookclub as a mom

• I fall up the stairs all the time
