Hello There! I'm Tori.

ABOUT

I am so glad you are here. I'm a photographer + portrait painter, wife, and mother residing in centre county PA.
I love people and their stories! I always have and I found my love of highlighting those stories through photos + paint. It is such a gift to lovingly document those I work with, like a glimpse of their legacy. My hope is that all who cross my path feel loved just as they are, that they realize they too have beauty in and around them worth remembering.


Who will you be working with?


+ Someone who wants to tell your story, as ordinary or grand as it may be, with photos and paintings that make you realize the goodness of your life + romanticize it!


+ A lover of simplicity and an admirer of the elaborate.


+ A person who wants to love people well in any role I am filling. All people! It is such a joy to get to walk alongside you!


+ A former K-12 Art Teacher! Yes, I taught Elementary art at a local school district and adored that role. The spark of spreading creativity and showing children they are artists too + in turn creative problem solvers was an amazing job to step into everyday.


+ A wife and mother who has come to realize the gravity of life's memories in a deep way.


+ A photographer and artist, who becomes a friend.


+ A girl who loves a good meal, cozy spaces, good laughs, and a warm cup of coffee. And let's not forget plants and old things.


+ Someone who learned on a 1970s film camera in the dark room, and with long nighttime exposures on bustling city streets.


While I have been in official business for 7+ years, I have pursued art my entire life and have found paint + photography are my perfect pairings to create opportunities to share more stories, for my beloved clients and in my own life!

Tori is hands down the best photographer we’ve ever worked with! She has a natural gift for capturing not just moments, but emotions. Tori came to our home (more than one time) to photograph my family, and her thoughtful, candid, kind, and supportive approach made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. She has a way of putting everyone at ease, which really shows in the stunning, authentic photos she delivers. Her attention to detail is unmatched—
