What a beautiful experience I had with my daughter for Senior Photos! Thank you Teresa for a fun experience and gorgeous memories.

I hired Teresa to take senior photos of my son and daughter and was incredibly impressed from start to finish. She is exceptionally professional, detail-oriented, and brings a creative eye that truly elevates the entire experience. From planning through the shoot itself, she offered thoughtful guidance and made everything feel seamless and comfortable.

Teresa is simply amazing!! She's so much fun to work with and takes fantastic photos. From booking to the photo shoot to ordering prints, Teresa made every part of the process enjoyable. Did I mention she is great at her job? One of our family members wasn't able to make the photo shoot and Teresa was able to photoshop her in perfectly. Nobody will ever be able to tell! Our family will be back for years to come! read more

She is simply the best! There are really good photographers, but she knows how to bring out the best in you! Her prices are a bargain for the kind of work She does!!!!!!!! read more

I've never felt photogenic and generally fear being in front of a camera. And, I was sunburned, bruised, mosquito-bitten, jet-lagged, and bloated from a week of vacation dining. I was truly scared and expected the worst. Teresa stunned me with her creativity and ability to capture not just a great look but also my emotions. Just about everyone who has seen the pictures comments on how obvious it is that I'm in love. Creative composition doesn't end when the photo shoot does. She beautifully prints photos on canvas, bound photo-journals, shadow box collages, tin boxes, metal business cards, glass, you name it, to complement the elegance or whimsy of the pictures. I suppose she might print a flat 11"x14" if you begged her. Teresa is certainly the core of the company, but she's not a one-woman show. Her assistants handle hair and makeup, clothing and accessories, proofing, and ordering. Amongst the lot of them, they made me look and feel beautiful. And I have the pictures to prove it. :) read more

I definitely loved my photoshoot with Teresa. She recommended me suitable poses and facial expressions in every different outfit I brought during my photoshoot. She helped me do final selection of photos and during retouching the photos thoroughly took prompt action on the changes I suggested and delivered them with high quality outcome. I never had a photoshoot in my life before and this was definitely one of the great experiences I encountered. Will make sure to preserve this photos in my 20's as a memories to cherish for rest of my life. I highly recommend FOTOS By T Inc and would definitely love to work with Teresa again for any personal/professional future projects. Cheers! read more

Teresa is an amazing photographer. She did a beautiful job on my professional/lifestyle shoot. I have worked with other photographers in the past and not only was her work perfection, but her pricing was extremely fair. She also works very fast- photo session on Monday, and proofs delivered on Wednesday! Will definitely return for our annual family photo shoot. read more

Teresa just completed my new professional head shots and her talents are endless! She made the experience so comfortable...as I am not comfortable in front of a camera. She made me feel beautiful and comfortable and the photos ended up to be more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. I highly recommend working with Teresa for professional photographs, but she is also expert in family photos and Sexy T photos!!!! Check out her website!!! read more

Working with Teresa once again was amazing. I loved the session we had with her. She handles everything so well. She is patient, fun, quick when she needs to be, productive, talented, skilled and just an excellent photographer. We have wonderful photos! Thank you for the shoot, and not only for our Christmas cards but our family photo book to treasure for years to come. read more

I seriously never realized that I was so great looking! I fell into a boudoir photo session courtesy of Groupon. I was at a lowish point in my life, almost 56 years of age and still wondering what I should be when I grow up. Everybody that works in this business loves what they do and it shows. Teresa did much more than the Groupon promised, took more time, posed me in many different weird but ultimately gorgeous ways, and the results really amazed me. Now I have to deal with my overly big head and delusions of being a movie star, but, oh well.... I would recommend investing in having your pic taken here as it truly lifted me up and I know it will do the same for you! read more

Great staff! The staff here is all female and the photographer Teresa (aka: "T") is amazing. It is very welcoming, professional. and every attempt is to make you relax and enjoy any type of photo. I highly recommend them. There are other studios out there but my advice is to give them a pass. The "professionalism" is lacking. One thing you should know is photo reprints are very expensive: $80.00 each. Also, all work is copyrighted so you may not have reprints made (don't even think about it). Also, any Photoshop work is charged as an extra. However, there are many advantages. The major ones are a staffed office and being able to book in advance. Note, there are a lo9t of "deals" going around. Play it smart. Go with Fotos by T. Stick with Yelp. Enjoy! Keep in mind that Teresa does inside, outside photos as well as wedding and family portraits. read more

I can't begin to tell you what an amazing experience this was for me from start to now almost finish! Thank you so very much for making an otherwise very self-conscious woman feel liberated and sexy! I have 3 possibly 4 girlfriends who are going to be utilizing your services and I made sure to tell them that I referred them to you. I will most definitely be coming back for another Boudoir shoot soon. Thank you again so much for making this single Mother of 6 feel like more than just the driven working horse I typically feel like both at the office and home. You made me feel like a sexy free woman again! Confident. If you have never done anything like this DO IT here with T!!! Even if you have previously still DO IT here with T!!!! Wonderful wonderful work! VERY HAPPY! A million thanks ladies! Xoxoxo HUGS!!!! Xoxoxoxo More thanks!!! read more

I had an amazing time! Well I went into the bordiour photo session, nervous, scared, and body image conscious. Teresa and Miley made me feel comfortable, beautiful and confident. I laughed alot, and the working relationship between the two was great. You absolutely have to get your hair and makeup done, they stylist makes you look gorgeous, and she is super nice. The best part is you get to unwind with a glass of wine and start to get comfortable. I cannot wait to order and receive the photos, when I was looking at the images she had shot on her camera, I couldn't believe it was me. On another note: her studio is amazing! Absolutely gorgeous. Its a older home with back drops that are authentic and beautiful. I had an amazing experience and I will definitely go back for other photos such as engagement and so on. read more

Wish I could give 10 stars and so doesn't my husband. I did the groupon for Boudoir and put it off for 6 months after I purchased it because I was self conscious. I'm no model for sure. I'm a size 14/16 and kept trying to lose another 3,4,5 lbs. but i just went for it! Glad I did! I suggest highly getting your hair and makeup done to get the full experience. And yes have a glass of wine to loosen up but definitely not two because you will be doing some acrobatics. T moves very quickly so you get the most pics and because if the session goes slow you have time to think and make weird faces or be stiff. Let her guide you! That's how my pics came out awesome. I went to my viewing on Saturday and we still can't narrow down from the 55! I put in my gallery. Gunna be a hard decision and yes it's expensive but really?! How often do you treat yourself to an incredible experience all about you! As you can see I could go on and on, but I loved my experience and it left me feeling comfortable in my own skin and more confident than ever. Thank you T! read more

I have been taking my kids to see Teresa for years. She is the best! We experimented with other family photographers, but T is a 10. The got the shots she wanted, never cut a session short until she got the results she wanted. She motivated the kids and created the most amazing memories, our kids growth and happy moments. She is creative and is always the talk in kur curcle every xmas time, as her xmas photo are the best. read more

Honestly, I would give Foros By T more stars if I could! The Groupon Gods led me here for a bridal boudoir photo shoot as a wedding gift to my husband to be. Growing up having struggled with my weight and appearance, in addition to having recently lost 30 pounds, I never would've imagined having the courage to do one of these photo shoots! Teresa is amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable in your own skin during the shoot. She's professional, encouraging, and wonderful to work with; any ounce of hesitation I had walking into the photography studio dissipated within the first two pictures she snapped. And the quality of the photos? Her artistic eye? How she captured the moments instead of just a pretty picture? I might be more excited about how my photo book turned out than the husband to be! Can't wait for another reason to come back! read more

This was an amazing first time experience! She has a very creative and artistic eye. My boyfriend was very pleased with his gift I was referred to Fotos by T from my friend and I will return the favor by spreading the word. I totally recommend getting your hair and makeup done onsite as well. He understood the look I was going for and did a wonderful job. Thank you again for making me feel comfortable and sexy at the same time. read more

Teresa is my wife's favorite gym instructor and she attends her classes twice a week. When she was 35 weeks pregnant, Teresa somehow convinced her to do pregnancy bump photo shoot at her studio - which is magic. Because my wife is very self conscious about her body and specially with that extra 30 lbs. My wife did not know what to expect, but she went for the photo shoot at her studio. Teresa made her very comfortable, had her make up and hair done by her artist with a reasonable price and did the photo session. Couple of days later, Teresa shared the photographs. I could not believe that those photos were my wife's. The photos were gorgeous and my wife looks extremely beautiful in those. All the photos were done in natural light and were not photo shopped. Even she took couple of pics in wife's cell phone and the result was amazing I recommend Teresa and PhotosByT to anyone for any occasion. If everything goes well I would definitely go back for newborn photo session. I wish Teresa trains me on photography. love to be her student to make my life better with new born and my wife. So many pictures to come over the years... Finally we got the printed canvas with the photo and it is not just a photograph but piece of art. read more

I cannot say enough about Teresa and her team. Absolutely first class !! Prior to the photo shoot she took the time to meet to discuss and really understand what it was I wanted out of the shoot, so that the pictures I took fit my needs. After the meeting she emailed a shot list so I could plan wardrobe and she listed out what props she had and what I might want to bring based on our conversation. As a triathlete, and fitness model I have photographed with several world-renown photographers over the years and I would still place Teresa right at the top. She is meticulous, professional, exceptionally talented, yet at the same time shooting with her is just such a fun experience. Her sense of humor and love of life make her just a joy to be around. Between Teresa, her stylist Jennifer and graphics whiz Suzanne the entire team is incredible. read more

I've had several shoots with teresa. my first time I was super nervous for a boudoir session...and after that I was hooked! two boudoir shoots, and one boudoir bump session later, and I can't wait for my next excuse for pictures. teresa and her assistants are always really fun and easy going. they make the whole experience fun and comfortable. anyone can model, and they help bring it out of you. I always end up buying way more photos than I meant to cause they just make everything turn out so well!!! read more

Teresa is absolutely amazing. My daughters are 5 and 3, not the easiest ages to take photos of, but she worked so well with them and captured the most adorable photos. The building where Teresa takes her photos is a photographers dream with every room a different theme and feeling. I definitely will be going to Teresa for future photo shoots for my girls and family. read more

I too LOVE Teresa and her crew! Fotos by T, recent Valentine's Day Special has been the most amazing experience yet to come. I was first referred by my friend Lynn (check out her amazing review below), about the Valentine's Day special and how great it would be as a gift or my partner. I had already decided months ago, I have to do a professional shoot, ASAP. My body is banging, and the clock is ticking so this most happen FAST. So, I took Lynn's advice and did a little research about the company, I set a date to tour the studio and after my visit, I was hook. The entire studio is a wonderful Victorian home, each room designed for capturing breath taking images. I set my date for the Valentine shoot and its been a wonderful experience. Weeks prior to the shoot, I was nervous of course, watching what I ate, drinking plenty of water, fussing over the different outfits I desired. Yes I was a mess, by I manage to get to the day of the shoot less anxious then I imagined. I was greeted with an adult beverage, waited until makeup time where there was an experience artist present to doll me up. Then it was "party time". I changed into my first outfit, T provided guidance for posing, she compliments your beauty and enhances your self-esteem to be bold and beauty! Upon returning to view my photos I was both pleased with my images as well as over whelmed with the amount of wonderful images I had to choose from, so I decided to go all out. There's plenty of artistic ways to display your images, such as, books, CD, canvas, cards, cups, wall mounts, magnates, etc. Prices = worth it!!! Overall, I agree with many when I read about the experiences with T and the staff of Fotos by T. They are wonderful! Can't wait to return by the summer to play in the hot and cold shower!!!! read more

If you simply want a photo, I recommend you go on line and pick a local photographer. If you want a portrait that captures your unique personna and really brings out your character, then Fotos by T is a must. Teresa is simply amazing. She will work with in advance on style, mood, and clothing. During the session Teresa makes you feel very comfortable and you'll come across fantastic. There's an popular ad that says: You're going to like the way you look! Describes Fotos by T. read more

My friend recommended Teresa and Fotos by T to create a beautiful boudoir book. At the consultation, Teresa clearly reviewed the expectations of the shoot and my requirements. One exercise she does require is to provide her with examples of what you would like to see. This was a great activity to do because Teresa then was very clear on the look and feel for which you are after. We all have different expectations for a boudoir...! Teresa has the ability to make you feel so beautiful. We all have insecurities for something, Teresa is able to thwart those insecurities and portray the authentic self. She provides a very relaxed, non-judgmental environment that brings out your best. The make-up artist was such a treat as she was able to paint a canvas that looked natural and beautiful in the photos. After such a successful boudoir shoot, I brought in my family to have family portraits. Completely opposite side of the photo spectrum. These shots were remarkable! Teresa brought out the joy and individual enthusiasm for all four of us. Such great gifts to give to family members. My most recent shoot with Teresa was professional head shots, yet a different angle and purpose. This was just as fun as the first two! I will these photos use for my branding, marketing, website and promotion of my coaching and consulting business. All of my sessions/proofs were easily viewed on her private website. I was provided ample time to view them, rate them, and have others look at them to help with the process. I highly recommend Teresa for any photos you need taken. She will compassionately guide you through the process and provide a beautiful representation of you! read more

Just like Sunny D., doing a boudoir session was not something I would do, but there isn't much you can do after you click on the "purchase" button on groupon. I waited a while before I scheduled my appointment with T thinking I need to workout, I need to lose weight, I need to do so many things before I got these pictures taken, well... after a while I realized I just needed to get in the studio and do this. I'm not sure how the rest of the photo shoots go, but at least for the grouponers, it looks like first you schedule a consultation appointment, the assistant takes time to show you the studio and explains to you how everything will happen. Second, you go in and get your photos taken. This is the scary part, getting in front of the camera. The assistant and the photographer, T and Anastasia, make you feel super comfortable while the shoot is happening. T will put you in some poses that you wonder, but I have to say those were the ones I loved the most. During the shoot, its all about you and you being happy with yourself. Teresa make you feel very very comfortable. I had lots of fun during the session and T definitely gives you a boost in self-esteem. I did my own make up, but they do have an option if you want someone to do your hair and make up. Third, you go view your photos. I think this was also pretty scary. I wasn't sure if any of them would look good. I sat down with Cristene and looked at all my pictures. OMG was that really me? The pictures were amazing, of course there were some that I didn't like but the majority of them were awesome. There was a total of 145 images. T has a great eye for photography and art. I didn't purchase too many so I wanted to be very careful picking the right pictures. Cristene helped me pick pictures, I needed her help and as the studio manager I am sure she has the artistic eye. Fourth, they send the photos out for retouching. It was a pretty quick turn around. There were somethings like tone and hair that I needed fixed. And then.... 5th is printing/production. And then you have your fun, sexy pictures :) Teresa is very talented and she really puts time into the shoot. The studio is very easy to work with. The staff is very friendly. They all have advice for you on the different styles, poses, and pictures. I really enjoyed this experience and would encourage anyone to visit T if you need some fun pictures of your sexy self! I was very pleased with the service and the finished product! read more

Had a boudoir photo-shoot done here using a group on. I loved how the pictures turned out and they make you feel so good about yourself. I have to only give 4 stars though, because there was a bit of miscommunication between them and us(my friend and I got them done at the same time). We weren't told ahead of time that they don't have outfits and bring our own. While this may seem obvious to some people in the group on it said specific wording to seem like they were dressing us up. When we did the confirmation with them they didn't tell us to bring outfits either. Thankfully when we did get there they worked with us still and came up with pictures that turned out gorgeous. They also compensated our miscommunication with a few extra prints! read more

Teresa is so professional and creative. Portrait sessions are fun and always bring the personality out of the person. Would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Where do I start??? I would give them a 5+ star rating if I could. Teresa is awesome! I am from the days of Dore Studio in SF. I have had my boudoir photos done there a few times, and it doesn't even come close to what I have experienced at Fotos by T/ Sexy by T. First, I want to say that Teresa does awesome work. She has an eye that captures every individual uniquely. She has an unbelievable studio! She always makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and if you don't know how to pose, she will guide you in that department. Second, her team is the best! She has a graphic designer named Suzanne who is a pleasure to work with. All her assistants are on top of things, always. When you are done with your photo session, you will get to view your photos with Suzanne. Then it's on to ordering your canvas, books, prints, etc. When you see the results, you will be amazed :) Third, fourth, fifth...I could go on and on but I would rather talk about my experinece with them. I have done a few photo shoots with Teresa over the last 6 months, all of them sexy shoots but would love to do one with my fam sometime soon. It was so much fun doing them, my experience was great each and every time. I am in my early 40's and never had plastic done on my body, brought 4 kids into this world, and still Teresa and her team made my pics look like it belongs in every sexy magazine cover. I have done boudoir pics since the age of 18, and the current ones I took with her looks better than the ones I took in my younger years. My profile pic is one of the ones she took! The first time I went for my shoot at her studio, an assistant greeted my friend and I at the door, offered to help us with our bags (change of clothing) and asked if we needed any tags cut off. When we got upstairs, she offered us an adult refreshment while we waited for my hair to be done. Where do you get this kind of service anywhere else to shoot pictures?! When the shoot was done, every communication via email and request I had was addressed. They accomodate to your needs like no other photography place I have ever encountered. For anybody who says they are a bit pricey, you get what you pay for. Teresa is a perfectionist and it shows in the photos she captures of you. Can't wait to see my photo book full of wonderful pics that Teresa and her team has created. There is no photo experience like it...they are a 5 plus star and beyond. Trust me when I say this, you won't be disappointed. Please check out their website as there is so much more, the studio alone is beyond awesome. Just to intise you a bit, they have a functioining bear claw tub that she uses for photography, a bench swing under a weeping tree out in the deck, an outdoor hot/cold shower for that wet look, a nice victorian garden outdoors, and much more. I can just go on and on...Thanks for reading my long review :) read more

I did a session with Fotos by T this fall. The photographer, Teresa, is great. Really talented. Beware - she will try to push your boundaries/comfort zone - if you are doing a boudoir session. Her staff informed me that women often/always end up doing more revealing photos than they had planned because Teresa makes them comfortable with that. If you have limits, you'll need to make them known and work to hold on to them. Given the beautiful photography and experienced photographer, why only two stars? If I could, I would give Teresa four stars, but her staff and business model one star. She works at an almost frenetic pace (that's why she doesn't get five stars) because her package/deal prices are low and she has clients running back to back - it's not a 'relaxing' experience in any way. If you booked her for a whole or half day, I'm sure it would be different. I don't think many people do that. You should also read the fine print /rules for your package and viewing carefully! You are not going to get 'proofs'. You will have an appointment to sit down at a screen with a staff member present and pick your image/images. That's it. No time to consider your choices or show the images to anyone else. Most of the packages include one 8x10 or similar single image. This does not mean you get the digital image. If other images seem included, they may have her logo on them - not really useful. Extra prints of different sizes are very expensive - and the digital files are exorbitant. They are a small outfit and do not have great phone/email capacity or support. Just be prepared for all of this and set your expectations appropriately. The photos can be good - but the experience and the administrative staff were sub-par. read more

Five star, second time taking family photos with Teresa and this time she took our soon to be high school graduate photos. Most guys don't like taking photos and seeing them, but she made our son comfortable and the photo book could be used as a modeling book as she captured him so well. read more

Teresa is extremely talented and artistic. Some of my friends photoed by her recently and the pics are amazing. She referred Teresa to me and I decided to ask her to take my photos too. I am so glad that I went to Teresa's Studio! I never had such fun experience on photographing. Teresa made the whole trip memorable and I felt I re-discovered myself. She definitely has a very unique and artistic eye. She turns every subtle things to art. You will feel that you were talking with her camera! The photos came out so beautiful and I love them so much. I felt it was the best investment I never made. I highly recommend her to all my friends and people who is looking for a brilliant photographer to capture the best and most beautiful moments of your life. You will never be regret to do it with Teresa and you will be amazed by the result. read more

LOVE Teresa - i have done several shoots with her and always love my pics. my current pic is one she did last year and it was so much fun. she has great ideas and energy. i could dock her for being a total perfectionist and running over schedule during the shoot and taking what feels like forever to send the pics over but once the final product comes out it's totally worth it. she is awesome and so is her staff and i can't wait for my new pics to come out! read more

I was a person who ALWAYS went to the same photographer for family photos. Being a family of 7 you have to go where the kids feel comfortable (its already a headache getting 5 kids dressed). I ran across a groupon for this place that i couldn't pass up. A woman named Cristene greeted my family as we came in (I'm pretty sure she booked our appointment too). She was so great made the kids laugh, got me feeling at ease. - time for photos- LOVE LOVE LOVE Teresa , she is so amazing working with me and my kids, she even managed to get my husband to smile and got some great shots of him. I was so nervous to see our photos cause i've never been able to get us all looking the same way. There was a great lady Janine who did our showing. She has a great eye and noticed some great things going on in the shots i Didn't see (cause i was looking for that classic "Sears" picture look), So glad she was there. It was so awesome. I walked away with great photos of my family & memories that I will always treasure. Cant wait for next year ! Great staff and wonderful photography! read more

Teresa, Thank YOU for yesterday! Honestly, you have such a knack for helping people (namely, husbands and sons!!) have fun, when it's not the funnest thing on their list! My boys LOVED you and Mahelly yesterday. I can't imagine ever having anyone else do my photos but you, from the coutoure stylist, to the glass of wine plopped in my hand during hair/makeup, to the giggly brothers snuggling next to each other in front of an old rock wall (ok, I'm crying right now, really), you make it all worth it and I am so excited to see our pictures. You're doing what you should be doing in life and we are blessed to have found you! read more

What a great experience! Teresa takes amazing photos and is very patient during the photo shoot process. The staff makes sure to explain everything to you up to the day of the shoot and is great to work with afterwards also. Teresa's talent is amazing! When I saw my proofs I couldn't beleive some of the images as I wasn't even aware that she was capturing what I saw in the pictures. I love my photos and would recommend to anyone for a wonderful experience and photos! read more
