“Working with Dorey is an absolute DREAM. She is extremely professional and efficient. She patiently listens to what ideas you have and things you want to create, and affirmatively creates exactly what you want and then some. She is bold and fun, and makes a photography shoot feel like a hang out with a dear friend. She captures the heart of everyone who steps in front of her lens in a way that is not only flattering, but highlights to the world exactly that person's purest and best self. And then she turns around and generously has the work out to you lightening fast. I would (and have) recommend her to any and everyone. Her work is the kind that will last a lifetime.”

Sam Bianchini, Los Angeles, CA
“Hire Dorey to photograph your wedding! She is an artistic genius with Michelin star service skills. Dorey was a thousand times more organized than we were, so we basically learned how to plan our wedding from her. Even though it's a big party, a wedding is an intimate thing, with lots of precious and vulnerable moments — Dorey is the only human I would want behind a lens to capture them. The photographer is there for every single thing that happens so it matters a lot who she is. Dorey is so supportive, nonjudgmental, easy going, and good humored. It was wonderful to have her by my side the entire day. On top of it all, she captured everyone and everything about our wedding so beautifully. Going through the photos feels like reliving all the joy and sweetness of the day over again. It's really a priceless gift. I had no idea how important it would be to have these photos and I am so grateful to her for creating them. I'm basically just incredibly lucky to know someone so talented.”

"Dorey took pictures of my family and I, and was WONDERFUL to work with!! My husband and I have twin toddlers that are wild and Dorey was great with them! I highly recommend Dorey and can’t wait for the next set of pictures!!"

"We worked with Dorey for professional headshots and could not be happier with the process and the final product. Our photos look amazing! During the shoot she really took her time to make sure she was getting the best shots and that we looked our best as well. She was patient when our cheeks started hurting from all the smiling and she makes you feel super comfortable and confident! We cannot say enough nice things about her and we recommend her to everyone we can!”

"Dorey was warm, kind, and organized throughout all of our interactions. She flawlessly balanced our wants and constraints for both our engagement shoot and day-of wedding photography. I honestly just had FUN working with her. She made me feel comfortable where I otherwise could have felt very awkward, and felt like an ally helping us make our day go right. If I ever have need for professional photography again, I will be working with Dorey. She turned both sets of photos around incredibly quickly, they came out beautifully, and we were so excited to share her amazing art with our family and friends. Bonus: works well with dogs :)”

“Dorey is AMAZING!!! She's has a wonderful eye for capturing the best moments. Dorey did our engagement and wedding photos; both sets exceeded our expectations. We received so many compliments about how beautiful they all turned out. I would hire Dorey again and again for anything and you should too!!!!!”

Elysia Grasswick, Chicago, IL
“Dorey is absolutely amazing. We were thrilled when we were able to book her for our wedding photography. All of our conversations leading up to the wedding left us feeling so comfortable and confident — and we already knew the work would be stunning. Her go with the flow attitude helped put us at ease, and her attention to detail and her ability to give direction, even to unruly bridal party members or onlookers who were trying to distract us, made us incredibly happy and comfortable with our choice. We can’t wait to see all of our images and we couldn’t recommend Dorey more!”

Emily Goodman, Bride, Chicago, IL
"Dorey did an unbelievable job photographing our wedding day! Not only was she a joy to work with, she took such time and care editing and crafting the photos to help us create a wonderful momento of the day! Highly recommend!"

Laura Camerer, Chicago, IL
"Working with Dorey was such a dream! She came to our house and took photos of my little family a few months ago, and while I'm usually not very comfortable in front of the camera, she's so personable and laid back that I felt like I was hanging out with a friend rather than having my photo taken. Before our session, we chatted about our vision for the shoot and I shared a few inspiration shots with her, and she came prepared to take the style of photos we'd like (including bringing a few props to the shoot!). Dorey is great with kids and very flexible. I've recommended her to several friends!"
