INQUIRE

  • “We had an absolutely incredible experience with Tori as our photographer. This was our very first time we did family pictures and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I was tearing up the first time I looked through them. It was almost 100 degrees and we had a very tired 5 month old but Tori’s guidance and instructions were amazing and her communication was fantastic while we were setting up a day and time for the shoot. We can’t wait to work with her again! If you’re looking for a photographer to capture memories you can look back on forever, look no further!”

  • "Where to start this review for Victoria (aka my bestie for few hours)!!  The day of the photoshoot @Toriyoungphoto  Made me feel so at ease - I used to dabble in photography myself so I’m more comfortable behind the camera rather than in front.. but she was my hype woman and bestie for the whole shoot, told me to do my thing and she was just there to follow me and capture it.  She also gave cool ideas! At one point I said just tell me what to do!  Because I’m awkward and not a model. I need direction. And she gave me things to try!!  Looking at the photos now I’m like wow I look like a model. But also still look like me. She somehow can capture you at your best while still looking like yourself.  If she’s still doing this by the time I get married - she will 100% be hired, full stop. Who doesn’t want to look like the best version of themselves? Rather than someone they are not - no one is flawless. There’s beauty in that too.  Also someone who just captures you in the moment. Making it a MOMENT.  She’s really really good at what she does. And she cares about making you shine She asks things like “what’s your vision?” and “what aesthetic represents you?” And then simply creates it.  + more stars"
