A Morning Vancouver Backyard Session // Vancouver family photographer There’s something especially tender about mornings — the gentle light, the quiet hum of a new day beginning. Photographing a family in their own backyard feels a bit like pressing pause on time. It’s unhurried, intimate, and real — exactly the kind of storytelling I love […]
Vancouver In-Studio Maternity Photography Session // Vancouver Maternity Photographer Rebeka, eight months into carrying her baby boy. She wanted to honour her body — in all its growth, strength, softness, and change. No hiding. No holding back. Just truth, beauty, and presence. From the moment we began her session, there was a quiet stillness in […]
A Summer Family Session at Jericho Beach // Vancouver family photography Some of the most beautiful family moments happen when you follow the child’s lead. This past September, I spent a late afternoon with a lovely little family — mom, dad, and their one-year-old daughter. She was full of curiosity and joy, and where she […]
At Home and Beyond: Capturing Real Family Life // Vancouver family photographer There’s something about photographing families in their own space, in the rhythm of their everyday life, that never fails to move me.

Dreamy Mother-Daughter Lavender Field Session // Family photos by Lorenza Tessari Photography There’s something truly magical about lavender fields in the summer.

Vancouver Indoor Maternity Session // Family photos by Lorenza Tessari Photography Courtney at 37 Weeks, Just Days Away from Meeting Her Baby Girl There’s a unique kind of wonder in documenting someone on the brink of motherhood.

A Heartfelt In-Home Newborn Session in Vancouver // Newborn photos by Lorenza Tessari Photography The Beauty of Home There’s something truly special about being invited into a family’s home during those first tender weeks with a new baby.

BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT LORENZA
I am a family, newborn and maternity photographer in Vancouver, BC where I live with my wife Ilenia and our two-year old daughter, Amelie.
I grew up in Italy, where some of my happiest memories were spent flipping through old photo albums with my grandmother and my mum.
I’d get lost in those images. Even then, I understood that these photos weren’t just pictures. They were time machines. They held feelings that might have otherwise faded.
Photography has always been that for me:
a way to hold on.
to return.
to remember what really matters.
I began with a disposable camera and a quiet desire to document everything around me. Over time, that love deepened, and in 2023, when I became a mother myself, it changed everything.
Suddenly, the everyday moments became precious. I understood how uncomfortable it can feel to rush a session, to ask children to perform, to chase something that doesn’t feel true.
That experience shaped the way I work today — calmly, slowly, and with deep respect for your family as you are.
LET'S mAKE
TOGETHER
Something Beautiful
If this way of working resonates with you,
I’d love to hear about your family and this season you’re in.
