bold, creative + timeless photography inspired by love, adventure & magical moments.

I believe…

Extraordinary moments happen every day and every journey in life is worth remembering. Love stories, your senior year, family vacation, the beginning of all of your dreams - the moments that set your soul on fire.

I focus on a mix of organic story telling, raw emotions and prompted posing to curate a gallery full of timeless, true to life photography you can reminisce on with joy.

While we travel throughout Michigan and beyond - our favorite places are Mackinac Island, Marquette, Charlevoix and Traverse City.

Hi, I’m Tori.

Who I am: Northern Michigan photographer, mom of 3, with a wild heart following the sun, chasing daydreams, finding magic in the everyday with a lavender latte in one hand and a camera in the other.

What I do: I create beautiful images of your most magical moments - from love stories and celebrations to big adventures and quite moments under the stars.

My style: Think organic, bold, emotive, and true-to-life photos that showcase the raw beauty, authentic smiles, real moments and genuine connections of your experience.

When I’m not behind the camera: You'll likely find me with my kids or somewhere in nature – hiking a new trail, chasing the perfect dark sky, soaking up the sunshine on a beach, reading a good book or taking long walks with the dogs.
