LORENZA TESSARI PHOTOGRAPHY
VANCOUVER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m a documentary-style Vancouver family photographer, capturing real, heartfelt moments for families who value connection over perfection.
Intimate sessions. Honest moments. I photograph families exactly as they are — playful, tender, and full of life. Based in Vancouver, available throughout the city and surrounding areas.
Let’s Tell Your Story
Photography that feels like home
Family Photographer based in Vancouver, BC
I grew up in Italy, where I spent hours lost in old family photo albums — studying each image like it held a secret. Even then, I knew how powerful it was to hold onto a fleeting moment.
That’s what I bring to every session:
a deep love for storytelling, and a quiet reverence for this wild, beautiful life.
Hi, I’m Lorenza
As a Vancouver family photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how photographs do more than capture moments — they preserve feelings.
Family photography is about holding onto the laughter echoing through your home, the quiet snuggles that happen in between chaos, and the fleeting little gestures that make this season uniquely yours. These images become treasures, a way for your children to one day feel their childhood in the same way we once felt ours. Every session is a chance to slow down, connect, and create photographs that aren’t just pictures, but memories that will last for generations.
What’s So Special About Family Photography?

LORENZA'S STYLE IS TRULY MAGICAL:
THE COMPOSITION, THE MOMENT, THE VIBE.
WE ALWAYS FELT GUIDED THROUGH THE WHOLE SESSION.
— Emily
THE PHOTOS THAT LORENZA HAS DONE FOR US WILL BE CHERISHED FOR A LIFETIME.
Family photography with me is slow, intentional, and pressure-free.
We focus on what matters most: your connection, your rhythm, your love.
Whether it’s at home, in your favorite park, or during a quiet moment together, I’ll gently guide you while giving space for real memories to unfold.
The result? Candid, meaningful images that feel like little time capsules — made to be felt for years to come.
Not perfect. Just true.
EXPERIENCE

I create a space where you can open up, slow down, and genuinely be with your loved ones. Your children are free to be themselves, and you’re free to just connect — supported by an experienced Vancouver family photographer who knows how to hold the moment without pressure or perfection.
A calm, relaxed, kid-led experience
The tiny details, the in-between gestures, the season you’re in right now. The things you’ll miss without realizing it — preserved in a way that lets you return to the feeling, not just the memory.
A way to document what won’t last forever
As a family photographer in Vancouver, I create natural, heartfelt photographs that feel like you — the connection, the quirks, the tenderness, the chaos — captured honestly without stiff poses or forced smiles.
Images that truly reflect your family

Lorenza is an incredibly talented photographer with a real eye for beauty and a gift for truly seeing people. She captured the essence of our family perfectly, even with the inevitable chaos that comes with little kids.
My sessions are designed to give your family the time and space to simply be — to settle in, connect, and let the real moments unfold. Because of that, I pour my full heart and attention into every family I photograph.
Sessions begin at $695, and each collection includes a thoughtful blend of guidance, storytelling, and beautifully curated images that feel like memories you can hold onto. Once you reach out, I’ll send you all the details so you can explore everything at your own pace.
I know this is an investment — and it should feel like one you genuinely love. These photographs aren’t just for today, but for the years ahead… the ones where your children flip through them and say, “Remember this?”. If that’s what you’re hoping to preserve, I’d be honoured to create it with you.
What is your pricing?
Please don’t worry — truly. Children are wonderfully unpredictable, and that’s part of the magic. During your session, your only job is to be there with your people. I gently guide, but I never force. If your kids need to run, cuddle, snack, or regroup, we follow their rhythm. Often, the very moments you think are “not working” become the images you treasure most — the ones that hold the truth of who they were in this season.
Your children don’t need to perform. They just need to be themselves. And I’ll take care of the rest.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
I don’t work on a strict clock — real connection doesn’t unfold that way. I like to let your family settle in, breathe, and simply be yourselves. Most sessions flow naturally between 90 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the activities and the pace of your little ones.
This time together allows me to follow your rhythm — whether we’re playing in your backyard, snuggling on the couch, or wandering along the ocean. My only goal is for you to feel unhurried, present, and free to enjoy your people while I quietly capture the moments you’ll treasure for years to come.
How long are the sessions?
I don’t typically offer mini sessions because my work relies on time — time for you to relax, connect, and let real moments unfold. To create something honest and unique, I dedicate each session to one family so you receive my full attention and a completely personalized experience.
If I ever host a mini-session day, I’ll announce it on Instagram.
Do you offer mini sessions?
I’m based in Vancouver, BC — but I’m always happy to travel for sessions. Travel fees apply for locations outside Vancouver and the surrounding areas.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
If you’re drawn to honest, documentary-style images that capture your family just as you are — the tenderness, the chaos, the quiet in-betweens — then yes, we’re likely a beautiful match.
I’m here for families who value presence over perfection and want photos that feel like memories, not performances. If you're looking for traditional, posed portraits, there are wonderful photographers who specialize in that — it’s simply not where my heart lives.
But if you want images your children will one day hold in their hands and feel their childhood in… then I’d be honoured to create them with you.
Am I the right photographer for you?
