Hi, I'm Tori

AKA:  "Momma" to my kids, "Honey" to my Husband, "Doodle" to my parents, "Shorty T" to certain family members that won't let me live down a hip hop class I took at 13 years old, and "Smalls or Tor" to a few friends. I'm Tori a light chaser with a tall frame and a slightly uncoordinated charm.


My photography is built on a simple truth: You can’t relive a moment, but you can hold onto how it felt.


Why Photography Matters to Me

I have Aphantasia—a condition that means I can’t visualize memories in my mind. For me, photographs aren’t just keepsakes; they’re the only way I can see the past. That’s why I’m obsessive about capturing the weight of a hug, the crinkles around your eyes when you laugh, and the unscripted joy of being together.


What to Expect When We Work Together

No stiff posing. Just you, being yourselves—whether that’s painting with your kids in your backyard or playing chess in a sun-drenched field.

Think of me as a collaborator, not just a photographer. We’ll design a session that reflects your story.

Photos that feel like time travel. Images so alive, they’ll pull you right back to how it felt in that moment.


I do this out of passion, and a belief that the best memories are the ones you never saw coming.

DON’T TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY! NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY. SMILE. BE GOOFY. TAKE CHANCES. HAVE FUN. INSPIRE.

— Dawn Gluskin

Personally curated

photography

sessions specifically designed for you.

This only works if we make it yours. I don’t do cookie-cutter sessions or fake moments – we’ll collaborate to design something real. Tell me about your favorite places, the way you laugh when you’re genuinely happy, the quiet ways you connect when you think nobody’s watching.


Bring your ideas, your inside jokes, your willingness to lean into the experience, and I’ll bring the expertise to document it beautifully. We’ll find locations that speak to you, activities that feel natural, and moments worth remembering.


The magic happens when you show up – not just physically, but fully. Let’s make photos that couldn’t possibly belong to anyone else.
