Dori 🤍
Many years ago in the beginning days of my career, I met this insanely talented, bubbly, funny, artistic, and genuine woman.
A woman who was ***passionate*** about her career and art, a women with drive and s***k, and a woman who was full of love, especially for her friends and family…
🤍🤍Dori Fitzpatrick🤍🤍
Dori was a trusted friend. We immediately clicked upon chatting online.
But working together is what really created the bond, because of how amazing she is.
Dori is unique in that she gave her heart and soul to her career. She worked hard and she was your biggest cheerleader when she was photographing you.
She was different. She didn’t look at it as a job, she didn’t get annoyed or bothered that she had to work… she got excited and was one of the most creative individuals I’ve worked with. She was always looking for new creative and artistic ideas. She was always trying new things.
Mostly… she wanted to succeed in being the best she could be for her clients and going above and beyond for them.
Even when she was going thru some major changes in her life and shouldn’t have had to think about work, she was still sooooo worried about colleagues and her clients. She wanted to please them and make them happy.
I always wondered how she did it, but when all said and done, I know it kept her spirits up. She loved her clients and connecting with people. She really REALLY loved her art, creativity, and fashion.
Thank you to those colleagues/clients that were kind and understanding to her.
We really don’t know what others are battling, so always try to be kind.
She was an inspiration to so many people. She still is and always will be.
Dori, every time I see an editorial using some sexy flash, beauty glamour photos, montuak, elegant NYC weddings… I will think of you immediately.
You will always keep a special place in my heart. I’ll always have your spirit with me at every editorial shoot and every wedding I film. But, I know you’re watching from up there girl 😘
See you on the other side my beautiful friend.
I love you so much and I’ll ALWAYS be in your corner.
