We believe the best photographs are the ones that feel real.
Unpolished. Unforced. Alive.

We’ve spent years chasing light, emotion, and moments that happen in between—the split seconds you don’t plan for and can’t recreate. Experience taught us this: honesty always outlasts perfection.

Our life is simple by choice. We travel with our kids, follow curiosity instead of schedules, and build days around connection rather than noise. That way of living shapes how we see. It’s why we notice the quiet glances, the messy laughter, the way people move when they forget they’re being watched.

We don’t direct stories—we observe them.
We don’t manufacture emotion—we wait for it.

Growing up never really appealed to us. We still believe in wonder, play, and chasing the feeling instead of the rules. That belief shows up in our work: photographs that breathe, that move, that feel lived in rather than staged.

Tellier Studios is for people who value truth over tradition.
For those who want images that feel like memories, not performances.
For people who understand that the real stuff is never perfect—and that’s exactly why it matters.

This is our way of seeing.
Honest. Intentional. Always a little wild.
