ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

A Letter From Lori

I believe in living in the moment, eating the cake, buying the shoes, taking that once-in-a-lifetime trip. I’m a lover of life, the simple moments, the unlimited possibilities in this journey called life.

Now is the best time — the perfect moment.
I am the kind of person who gets a smile from your baby in the store or from passing children.
I absolutely adore them, and the innocence and wonderment they represent. I’m blessed with a beautiful daughter, a loving husband, and amazing friends and family. My husband is a touring musician, so we travel the world, and our house is filled with music and art.

I love the change of the seasons and how I can feel the magic and possibilities swirling in the moment. I love yoga and belly dancing. I treasure my favorite spiritual books that enlighten me on my journey and quench my thirst for growth and knowledge. I believe that the world is good, most people are loving, and world peace is possible.

I look forward to getting to know you and all the things you’re grateful for.

Most importantly, I can’t wait for our team to help celebrate YOU and capture the story of your life.
