{about me}

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and check out my work!

My name is Tori King - I am a photographer in the Phoenix metro area. I am mother to 4 absolutely awesome kids!

I'm really not a huge fan of the "about me" section. It's hard for me to talk about myself.. I did not just pick up a camera this year and decide that I was going to be a photographer, I learned over many years with a camera that actually used film. I first became interested in photography when I was young and saw pictures and photo tricks my dad did with his camera. When I was finally able to buy my own I went thru tons of rolls of film! The excitement of developing the film to see what I captured, and the experience to know what settings, lighting, etc I should of used. My only regret was not learning to develop my own film in a dark room.

  My passion in photography is to capture people as they experience joy, wonder, love, and intimate connections with each other. I can be critical of myself, I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes for a brief moment after a session I will doubt I captured what I meant to. But once I load the photos I fall in love. Not in a conceited way.. I am in awe of what I see - the person's character, a couple's love, a newborn's pure sweetness. I strive to show who you are, not what I or anyone else thinks makes a good photo. I hope you will allow me to do this for you!
