Your instructor
Hey there, I'm Lori. 📸 Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Northern Michigan, I've established myself as a professional photographer, passionate about capturing life’s most tender moments. My focus extends to more than just the lens—I am dedicated to nurturing and sharing the art of photography, with a heartfelt emphasis on maternity, newborn, baby, and children’s styled portraiture.
If there is one thing I have learned is that memories fade, but photographs capture precious moments in time with images that will beautifully chronicle your story and will be treasured for years to come. I teach a variety of photography classes that include basic photography and camera skills and newborn photography. I am confident I can help you successfully reach your goals in your photography journey. I have pursued photography most of my life, however, my two children are the foundation of my photography obsession. It is through them that I've come to realize the importance of photographs, as they beautifully chronicle a timeless story that will be treasured for years.
Drawing upon my photography journey, I am deeply committed to guiding you through the illuminating process of capturing the essence of maternity and the magical beginnings of life. As a dedicated instructor, I strive to impart not only the technical skills but also the emotional intuition necessary to document and cherish the beauty of motherhood. I am confident that you leave my course empowered to freeze those fleeting moments into everlasting memories, enriching your own photography narrative and the stories of those you photograph.
