Theresa Bear Photography

Theresa is a dream to work with. She loves people and photography and it shows through in every picture. With her many years of experience in studio, on location, doing weddings, and engagements we felt totally confident in hiring her for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. We have such beautiful memories thanks to her and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fantastic photographer to work with! Her calm, fun, and positive demeanor coupled with her experience and vision brought out the best in us and the best photos we've had taken!

My favourite family photos, and all of my portraits for work purposes, are Theresas creations. I use creations intentionally as her work is above and beyond a picture. She works with fun and engaged approach to understand your story, the story behind the picture, and then creatively imagines the setting that invites and captures the best you that a lens can hold. We also have some of her prints in our home as her ability to create a bridge between the human experience and nature is magical. Each photo feels like a gift!

Working with Theresa was a fun and creative experience. We loved her ideas, enthusiasm, and sense of humor, which helped us feel relaxed and playful during the shoot, resulting in some incredible photos. In the past I've felt a little awkward when being photographed, so it was a lovely surprise to feel so comfortable that I could let loose and have a total blast. The biggest challenge was choosing which photos to send to family and to frame, since we had so many favorite shots!

theresa is the first person i think of whenever i want to celebrate a milestone with photos. i've worked with her for my engagement, wedding, and even fun self-love shoots. her vibrant energy is infectious and i'm always amazed at how easy the process feels, as someone who is typically camera shy. she brings out the best in anything and anyone she photographs. thank you tea!!!

Theresa captured the essence of my being. She really knows how to put you at ease and make you look and feel your best. She goes the extra mile in preparing for the shoot and really listens to figure out what will make you shine. Plus, her creativity is through the roof! The photos she took of me are some of my favorites of all time. I think Ill have to travel to Portland to have her photograph me again soon!
