Our story

Just a few short years ago, the dream of becoming a professional photographer felt out of reach.
My days were a constant cycle of wake up, work, sleep—repeat. I was missing precious time with my family, watching my son grow up from a distance, and constantly weighed down by financial stress.

Everything started to shift when I began a new day job that changed my life in small but powerful ways. A shorter commute gave me back nearly four hours every day. That time meant everything—it allowed me to breathe, to save, and most importantly, to be present. I got to witness my son’s milestones, his growth, and his personality unfolding to look a lot like mine (Lord, help me!).

With the unwavering support of my incredible husband, my amazing work team, and the grace and strength given by my Lord, this once-distant dream became a living, breathing reality. Memories by Torian exists because of faith, family, and the passion that comes from finally being able to pursue what truly lights me up. I was raised on the belief that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. M.B.T. is viable proof that it's absolutely true! 

Our history

Memories by Torian is a small, faith-based, family-owned photography business dedicated to capturing the honesty, integrity, and unique spirit of every client we serve.

Through years of trial and error, we’ve developed a consistent, reliable process that ensures each session meets — and often exceeds — the goals and expectations of every person we work with.

What began as a general photography business focused on families, individuals, and even beloved pets has evolved into something more intentional. While we still joyfully volunteer each month with the City of Denton Animal Shelter, we’ve refined our professional focus to what we know we do best — and what we’re truly passionate about: helping others succeed through authentic, purpose-driven photography.
