Teresa & Chris
A love story.
Love at first…photoshoot?
Yeah! That’s kind of how it happened. We rolled in the same circles and after crossing paths for years, we eventually started to hang out on purpose. It was all fun and games really. That is until we did our infamous fishnet photo shoot together!
It’s kind of a big deal - we even created a holiday around it called Fishnet Day! We celebrate it every year as our first anniversary. It was THE experience that exposed our dynamic for what it really was…. Magic.
Here we are six years later and we’ve come to realize - The Notorious, The Mo-Pho, Sasquatch… they are all just channels we’ve create from this overwhelming desire we have to make our magic accessible to others. Our photoshoots - everything we share comes from the wellspring of hearts as our way to share our world with YOU.
And in case you haven’t realized it yet - we don’t use photography as a way to preserve memories - we use photography to MAKE memories. We don’t wait for moments to capture, we create them.
All in all we believe that LIFE is what happens in between the milestones - and we have all the audacity we need to remind you!
Meet the many faces of Chris:
Artist / Photographer extraordinaire
Chris is pretty well known around these here parts for his photography, his popular I Love New Haven blog and more recently the I Love Connecticut blog , AND his many a meals at the local Ashley’s Ice Cream.
Some even call him the mayor, or Mr. New Haven. He’s got a fifteen years of photography under his belt and counting.
Whether it be wedding photography, event photography, architectural photography, family portraits, or real estate.
He’s taught photography at various schools including a few courses on his own. You can find his work all around New Haven and even in a National Geographic/Cengage Learning 11th Grade U.S. History Textbook -
Impressive, huh? Personality wise he is pretty much joy encapsulated. Like, if sugar was a personality.
Meet the many faces of Teresa:
Creative director / Peak experience facilitator / Photo Artist
Teresa is an idea machine and even better——sometimes she’s crazy enough to believe in them! She believes in magic and that if you can conceive it - you can achieve it!
She believes that dreaming is the prelude to having all that you desire (how do you think The Mo-Pho happened?)
As far as talents go, above all things she is a writer first. An artist of sorts who dabbles in design, fashion, photography and modeling in a fusion so potent - she has to carve out her own names for them yet makes no room for labels.
She creates spaces (time and physical) for people tap into their creativity and to encourage personal liberation.
If you’ve made it this far - bravo! Check out some of the things we’ve done in the past that inspired us to create The Notorious P. I. C.
Per Chris’ inspiration - we dressed up and walked around Downtown in disguise with our camera.
We had so many hilarious interactions with people. One bemused person insisted on giving us a dollar, and that’s how we made our first dollar together! *October 2018*
That time Teresa threw Chris a surprise Fishnet Photoshoot party! OMG! *April 2018*
Our Faux Wedding - That time Teresa thought it would be fun to pretend to get married just for the pictures! *August 2017*
Thought this would be a good time to throw in some of our infamous photo booth pics too! We must take “Test shots” at every job. No, seriously! Lighting, glare, quality - or even just to get the ball rolling - we are REALLY prissy about how the final product comes out. We just have a LOT of fun doing it!
With Love,
Teresa & Chris - Together we are —————— The Notorious P. I. C
