Just a girl from North Carolina with a camera, a backpack, and a never-ending itch to explore new places.

Hey there! I’m Dori—a travel photographer, daydreamer, and big fan of getting wonderfully lost. I live for the kind of moments that can’t be planned: golden hour on an unfamiliar street, a kind stranger offering directions in broken English, or the way a place feels just before the sun disappears.

With a camera in my hand and a backpack on my shoulders, I chase those little flashes of magic you only find when you're far from home. I’m less about picture-perfect postcards and more about capturing real, raw, beautiful glimpses of the world as it is—messy, vibrant, and full of stories.

This portfolio is a growing collection of the places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, and the light I’ve followed. Thanks for being here. I hope these photos give you a sense of adventure, wonder, and the endless joy of exploring the unknown.

Please contact me directly for projects or to inquire about purchasing my work.
