Stepping in front of the camera is never easy.

experience

You’ll walk away from the DAY feeling carefree, happy after just having a good time which is always my ultimate goal. The beautiful photos are just an added bonus!

It's about creating a space for you to be YOU. Because these photos aren't just about the here and right now, they are forever. This may sound a little dramatic but, my hope is that you're able to look at these photos years from now and remember all the feelings and things that made you happy during this time. 

Taking photos should be a fun and easy experience. I do my absolute best to create a seamless experience from beginning to end.

These are your photos at the end of the day and I want you to be absolutely in love with them.

Booking with Torez was one of the best decisions we made when doing an anniversary mini session on our trip to San Francisco. We are from Calgary,AB Canada and were so nervous about booking something. We came across Torez on instagram and fell in love with her style and her energy (the reels are amazing!). We reached out to her immediately and she was so quick with her response and was so flexible on coming up with a package that worked best for our budget and needs. On the day of the shoot she was quick to text us about the weather down by the bridge (which was a classic foggy day!) and even offered to wait till the fog cleared. We thought this was so kind! We met up with Torez and immediately felt like friends. Through her clear directions and her understanding of what we wanted we ended up with the sweetest and loveliest photos that captured our favourite morning of the trip. We enjoyed listening to her music and just hanging out! If you are thinking of hiring Torez I would 1000000% recommend. She is so genuine and kind and makes you feel like a million bucks. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely call her up.

I can’t say enough good things about Torez. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but she really went above and beyond scouting out photo locations and creating a schedule for the day and making sure we got our dream photos.
I also really appreciated how Torez makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and suggestions natural poses so your photos end up looking candid and not staged.
Whether you’re booking an elopement, couples or individual photo session in California, Torez is your person!

My fiancé and I took engagement pictures with Torez and we had a great experience and would certainly recommend her again and again. We won our session on an Instagram contest and she was so easy to work with and coordinate. We settled on Carmel, she helped with outfits, location styling, posing, everything. She embraced our awkwardness and our photos turned out amazing — we get so many compliments on them. It was like working with an old friend. Thank you Torez.

We found Torez on Instagram and loved her work! To pick her out for our elopement was the best choice we could make! She really dug to know our 'vibe' as a couple, she's always smiling, so nice and professional (responds very quickly) and the photos are just stunning! She knows everything about San Francisco City Hall (the best places to take pictures but also how the elopement goes) and it's highly appreciated not only before, but also on the day of the ceremony.
We didn't regret our choice one single second and would recommend her to everyone! We're glad to get these photos as souvenirs of this day!
Thank you again and again.

I only have amazing things to say about Torez! My fiance and I were looking into engagement photographers and we wanted someone who knew SF and was going to make sure we were nice and relaxed while taking photos. Torez jumped right on board when we said we wanted to take photos at our favorite local bar! On the day of, we had 1.5 hrs and it felt like it flew by in the best way possible. She was great at giving tips on how to pose and giving prompts for us to have fun and play around with each other. We started at the bar and then walked to a park nearby. She made sure to ask us if there were any specific photos we wanted captured and made sure it happened. We're so thrilled with our photos and get so many compliments on them. Thank you Torez!!!

I don't even know where to begin. We planned our trip from Kentucky to California for May. Due to unforeseen work circumstances we did not get to actually take our trip until September. Torez was so cooperative and kind, in dealing with our situation. Upon meeting her, she was just as kind in person. She really pays attention to details. Everything that I wanted for our anniversary shoot, she made it happen. She even had our favorite artist playing in the background to set the mood. We are already planning a trip back to take pictures with our children. Lets not even talk about the quality of the photos, amazing!!!

Torez accommodated us very last minute; we asked her on a Monday if she was available to shoot our elopement on Friday! Thankfully, she was available, and took some truly lovely photos of our intimate day. She was understanding of our personalities and captured us in a way that felt authentic -- not forced or unnatural by any means. And her prices were very reasonable for some truly outstanding work; if you are looking to get photos done at City Hall and wish to do it on a reasonable budget, Torez is a great choice! We can't thank her enough for capturing us so well on our special day.

Torez did a fantastic job shooting our engagement photos. My fiance and I are definitely camera shy and so we knew the importance of trusting and being comfortable with our photographer every step of the way. Torez was so genuine from the start, as she truly wanted to get to know US so she can curate an experience that would carry on past that session. She asked questions to get to know us better as a couple as well as did her research in terms of location, time of day, etc. Her turnaround time was quick and the photos turned out great - we found pictures that captured who we truly are and we couldn't be happier with the results! We were quick to post a sneak peak on Instagram as well because we were so excited :) Thank you, Torez!!

We are so happy we went with Torez for our wedding! I found her on IG a couple years ago and messaged her to see if she was available for our date. She responded promptly, worked with our wants, gave us questionnaires to learn more about us and was overall very communicative the entire time. The day before the wedding nailed down the timeline and realized we needed additional time and she was willing to work with us to find the best solution! We also decided to do a "day-after" shoot instead of an engagement shoot and had such a blast exploring the White Mountains with her. Honestly we could not have asked for a better photographer and would recommend her to any of our friends/family that are in need of a photographer!
