Hey,
I'm Tory!
I'm an outdoor lifestyle photographer based in the state of Maine. I've had a camera in my hand for the past 10+ years capturing a wide variety of subjects and the one I always return to, the one subject I'm rooted in, is the outdoors.
I started in 2010 when I took a trip to Wyoming. A few weeks later I packed my car up and moved there! With a camera in my hand I drove around and captured the beautiful area I called my new home.
In 2012 I jumped head first into wedding photography world full-time where I made so many great connections as well as met some amazing people! Since then I've dialed it down on the wedding world but still find myself wanting to book a few smaller weddings every year.
In 2020 I dove into outdoor lifestyle photography. While running my own business I also started working for Maine Inland Fisheries & Wildlife traveling around the state capturing most segments of the department out in the field from the wildlife biologists, fisheries, wardens, and more. I was back in my outdoor, adventurous element and forming what is now Wildwood Photo.
Fast forward to 2022, I rebranded my business to Wildwood Photo, married my best friend, and in 2023 we welcomed our sweet little boy! Being a Mom is now my full-time gig but I'll always be an outdoor adventure photographer, just part-time for now! I love making connections with people who share my love for the beautiful State of Maine and will continue capturing it's beauty whether it's on an assignment or on my own.
From grass-roots
beginnings.
I grew up being exposed to all things outdoorsy in Maine and I kept searching for more as I got older. From hiking, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, hunting, and more - I simply can't get enough of just being outside. For me, it's not about the summit, the destination, or the harvest; it's about being on the trail, on the water, or in the stand and taking that deep breath that you can't experience anywhere else but in nature.
