It's an exciting and scary feeling of wanting to grow a business and find fulfillment in your life.
I remember feeling so overwhelmed when I started my business from wanting to learn all the things to just wanting to create every single day. Being able to take my camera and make it into my career had been a dream since I was 12. Late nights, day dreams, and all the in betweens, I've so been there.
There are so many options from self-education, online courses, workshops, conferences, mentoring, or just straight up figuring it out yourself through trial and error. I’ve soaked in so much free education online, I’ve spent thousands on online courses, and many more thousands on in-person workshops and conferences.

I believe in you. I support you. I admire you for taking this next step. There is so much to learn and I am inspired already by your drive to grow! Let's dive into the nitty gritty to help you go from "Oh, I like to take pictures in my free time" to "I'm a bad ass photographer changing people's lives daily!"

I was so drawn to how natural her couples looked and of course how beautiful all of her images are. I was struggling on workflow and posing with my models and I knew I needed help. It was the best decision I've made for my business! Photographing along side her helped me with breaking out of my comfort zone and learn new posing techniques. She didn't judge anything about my business and gave so many helpful tips that in 3 months I have completely changed my website, booking process and have gained so many new clients! She is such a genuine person and made me feel comfortable from the start!

Tori is AMAZING! I recently did a photographer mentoring session and the experience was incredible. She seriously is the epitome of the term “community over competition.” I got a ton of valuable feedback from Tori and she is so easy to be around, I felt like I was just hanging out with one of my friends. Whether you’re a beginner photographer or you’re ready to fully commit yourself to your business, I highly recommend investing in a mentoring session! Not only will you leave feeling more confident in yourself, but you will also gain a relationship with one of the best photographers in Jersey!

I cannot say enough good things about my mentor session with Tori! She took an entire day to go over all of my questions surrounding running a business and set up a photoshoot with a couple so I could learn from her hands on. The tools that she gave me to progress my business have been immensely beneficial. She is extremely kind, professional, and fun! Her personality and joy is infectious. I would recommend a Tori Kelner mentor session to anyone who wants the tools to move forward from someone who is amazing company and they can trust. Tori, I can’t thank you enough! ❤️

As a photographer, Tori is incredible at what she does. As a business owner, Tori values community over competition which is so needed in this industry. I had a mentor session with Tori that was invaluable. This girl is a wealth of knowledge in so many areas and I walked away feeling motivated, confident, and supported in my business. She is an open line of communication for anything I might need in the future. She is generous and kind, never rushed our conversation or judged anything I felt insecure about. Tori is an incredible professional and person. I couldn't recommend her more for wedding photography or mentorship!

I found Tori on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her work. After following her for a while and watching her stories, I knew I wanted to be friends! She is hilarious and so genuine. I finally reached out to her and we planned a mentoring session. I drove all the way from Maryland to meet up with her in New Jersey.
From the moment I met her, I felt like we were already friends. She put together tons of information for us to go over and answered all of my questions without judgement. She found an amazing couple for us to shoot together and showed me how she prompts and poses her couples. Her shoots are so much fun! After we finished the shoot, she showed me her whole editing and post processing workflow.
We could have talked for hours! She has so much knowledge and you can really tell how passionate she is about photography. Since our meeting, we have kept in close contact and she answers all my crazy questions! Whenever she comes across something she thinks would be beneficial for me, whether it’s an online workshop or just Lightroom editing tutorials, she sends them my way. Tori really wants to see her mentees succeed!
I was scared to reach out at first because I was afraid to be turned down and be seen as future competition in the field, but Tori is all about community over competition and is willing to help in any way possible! I can't wait for our future sessions!
