ABOUT LORI
Photographer. Storyteller. Creative Partner.

With over 30 years behind the lens, I’ve built my career on the belief that photography is more than just capturing images—it’s about preserving connection, emotion, and the essence of a moment.

My background spans fine art, fashion, editorial, and commercial photography, allowing me to bring a thoughtful and elevated perspective to every session—whether I’m documenting a wedding, capturing a brand’s visual identity, or freezing the fleeting magic of family life.

I’ve worked with Fortune 500 brands, celebrity clients, fashion labels, and everyday families—all with the same goal: to create honest, timeless, and artful imagery that tells a story.

My Approach
At the heart of my process is collaboration. I start every project by listening—to what inspires you, what you're hoping to share, and how you want to be seen.

From there, we build a visual narrative that’s equal parts polished and personal. I work with ease and intention, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourself in front of the camera. My sessions blend natural direction with editorial finesse, capturing both the candid and the composed.

Who I Work With
Whether you’re a brand seeking bold imagery, a family documenting life’s milestones, or a couple celebrating love—I’m here to help you show up beautifully and authentically.

Clients include:
✔️ Individuals & entrepreneurs
✔️ Fashion & lifestyle brands
✔️ Nonprofits & corporate teams
✔️ Families, couples, & creatives
✔️ Public figures & editorial clients
