Tori’s JWU college senior session this April was everything you could hope for — full of sunshine, laughter, windblown moments, and so much joy. We met at the beautiful Waterplace Park and the iconic Rhode Island State House, two perfect backdrops to celebrate Tori’s incredible college journey.

Tori brought along her parents, sister, and boyfriend, and it was so special to capture not only her solo senior portraits but also some gorgeous family moments. The love and pride they all have for her absolutely shone through — you could feel the emotion with every hug, every laugh, and every playful moment we captured.

Despite the breezy day (hello, classic New England spring!), Tori looked absolutely stunning in her cap, gown, and regalia. She even brought the fun by popping a bottle of champagne to celebrate this major milestone — a true “cheers to the future” moment!

I am beyond impressed with Tori. She shared with me how action-packed and meaningful her college years at Johnson and Wales were. She prioritized gaining real-world industry experience early on, landing part-time roles with none other than the Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots during her sophomore and junior years. How amazing is that?! These experiences made her college journey unforgettable — a perfect blend of learning, networking, and doing what she loves.

Outside of her professional hustle, Tori has a true passion for fitness — she’s a dedicated Pilates and weightlifting enthusiast. She also loves to travel and just recently went on a Mediterranean cruise with her family. (Sounds like a dream!)

What impressed me most about Tori is her incredible drive and ambition. Before even walking across the stage at graduation, she already locked down a full-time role as an Event Manager with the BBB in Boston. Talk about a go-getter! It’s clear that Tori’s future is as bright as her smile, and I feel so lucky to have captured a small piece of her amazing story.

Tori, congratulations again! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish — and I hope you pop a few more bottles of champagne along the way.
