About Dori

Who am I?

Thanks for popping by my online home! I live in the beautiful city of Saratoga Springs, New York with my Hubby and three beauties ~ Anna, Livia & Janie Baby (who really isn't a baby anymore...but she'll always be my baby). We love the small town feel in this chic city of horses, history, and natural springs.

I'm a Southern girl transplanted up north. My love of photography started in my early teens. Flipping through fashion magazines - I loved to look at the clothes - but especially the posing and photography. All that time spent pouring over magazines guided me to the fashion world - with an early career of modeling and then an education at The Fashion Insitute of Technology in NYC. I've had a wonderful career in the fashion and home decor industries, while living in NYC and Montauk, NY. My passion for photography came full circle when we had our first baby, Anna, in 2008 and snapping moments in time became an obsession for me. I I love learning and get so inspired by others. I am continually investing in my career. I have mentored with some of the greats and attend photography conferences yearly to keep the juices flowing. Just like any art, I feel my style is always evolving and I love seeing where it takes me.

In early 2018 I started working for Saratoga Living magazine and soon became their Senior Photographer. I have had my images grace their cover multiple times. It was such a thrill to shoot Red Sox icon, David Ortiz, designer Ariana Rockefeller, Real Housewife of NY Dorinda Medley, and executive producer of FRIENDS Kevin Bright to name a few. Such a dream!

I am a girl that loves natural light but am also proficient in studio lighting too. I specialize in weddings and portraiture. I love shooting outdoors and anywhere! I'm always scouting locations where the natural setting will be a beautiful backdrop for my photographs.

Natural moments, unscripted shots, genuine connection are what drive me. My goal is to show you y’all being you and your authentic souls. I am a total sucker for candids and those in-between moments. Don't get me wrong though, I'll make sure you have those beautiful photos of everyone smiling at the camera too.When working with me, I want it to be fun and easy….full of laughter and smiles.
