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 - you can regularly find us on Mackinac Island, in Munising, Traverse City and Charlevoix.

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, or simply soaking up the sunshine on a beach with a good book in hand. (Pupper snuggles are a definite possibility too!)
