Columbia River Gorge Family Photographer

Joyful moments for fun-loving families

Family life can be messy and emotional but most importantly, full of joy. And that's what you'll see in the portraits we capture together. I'll capture the traditional images, but we'll also have plenty of time for laughter, playfulness, and adventure. You will end up with portraits that capture your family's authentic spirit. And I'll be there every step along the way for styling and location selection!

Hi, I'm Tori!

I’m a family photographer in the Columbia River Gorge, drawn to natural light, true-to-life color, and the moments that happen in between the poses.

With more than 15 years of experience, I combine traditional portraits with a relaxed, lifestyle approach, capturing both the images you’ll frame and the ones that feel like real life.

I’m also an early childhood educator, which means I’m right at home with kids. I keep sessions flexible and fun, so there’s room for personality, movement, and genuine connection.

And if you’re usually the one behind the camera, this is your reminder to step in. You deserve to be in these photos with your kids.

Kind Words

"...I love Tori's flexibility and patience. With a family of six, things don't always run smoothly, but she's able to go with the flow and still capture amazingly beautiful shots. I like our photos to be natural and beautiful, and her photography exhibits that. If you want a family-friendly photographer who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, this is the one for you!..."

FAQ

How long have you been a photographer?

I started photographing my friends in middle school, studied photography in college, graduating with a BFA in Applied Visual Arts, and started Macnab Photography in 2008.

What kind of photographer are you?

I am a natural light photographer that combines traditional and lifestyle photography in a colorful and vibrant way.

Where will my session be held?

I am an on-location photographer. Together we will choose the perfect location for your session.

How long will my session be?

Sessions are usually between 30 and 60 minutes.

What will my session be like?

Sessions are relaxed. My only expectation is that your family is comfortable and able to be themselves. While we will get those traditional images of everyone smiling at the camera, don't be afraid to be silly and playful!

What should I wear?

The most important thing to remember is that you want to be comfortable. If you are uncomfortable, that will translate into your photos. My best advice is to pick one outfit (usually Mom's) and go from there. Coordinating (not matching) is the best way to go. Avoid logos or busy patterns, and don't forget the shoes! If you need help, don't hesitate to ask!

When will we receive our images?

Your online gallery will be ready in four weeks or less, where you can download your images and also order beautiful, professional quality prints.

How do you choose which images are in my gallery from our shoot?

Each image is looked at carefully and only the best are hand chosen for your gallery.

What if my kids don't cooperate?

Kids are not expected to "be good" during your session. Your images will look the best when you allow your kids to be themselves. We are hoping for real moments with genuine smiles and laughter. Let your kids be kids!
