OH HEY THERE!

OH HEY THERE!

I’m a Lifestyle and Portrait Photographer based in Northern California in the capitol city of Sacramento. I’m a wife to Mr. Brandon Selden and a boy mama to 2 red-headed, wild and smiley boys. I’m an iced coffee addict, a collector of plants of all sizes, and a lover of slip on shoes (preferably Birks) cause mom life.

For me, photography is all about the moments. The moments that can pass in an instant, fade, and be forgotten over time. 

I want to catch those moments for you to hold on to. From hand holding and slow dancing, that first kiss on your wedding day, tiny kicks of a human you have yet to meet. fits of laughter with your kids.

Hey, I’m Tori Dawn - your photographer and soon to be bff

All the love that is wrapped up in your current season of life. My hope is to freeze this sweet season of your life. Those meaningful and honest moments, through the lens of a camera so you can remember exactly what it was like when you were there. 

No matter what I’m photographing for you, my goal is to capture the authentic moments of you, and your favorite people.

So let’s catch those magic moments, chase some dreamy light,

and have some fun while we’re at it.
