Meet Miss Trinity!

My niece, Trinity, stopped by for a visit Saturday

night, so I decided to take advantage and get a

couple of quick pics of her...isn't she a doll??

I just love her so much!

Grateful.

This Mother's Day, I will be especially grateful

for my four beautiful children. Today, I met a

mother who lost one child and watched as the

other clings to life. As I photographed "S" & "S"

her Mom told me how close the sisters were to

eachother. How they were both very busy and

how beautiful they were.

*

And just as one mother is saying goodbye,

she thinks of other mothers and their

children, & decides to participate in

organ donation. What a wonderful

*gift* to give during such a tragic time.

*

I will admit, that this is not an easy thing

for me to do when I photograph....but knowing

in my heart that I can help these families preserve

the memory of their child is so rewarding. I do this

in honor of my nephews, Gabreal and Samuel.

*

God bless all of you and know that you

weigh heavily on my heart.

Jeanette + David = Engaged!!

Jeanette has been a friend of mine for 20+ years,

and I am so excited to see her this happy!

David is the one she has been hoping for and

they are going to tie the knot in June! Thanks

for includung me in this special time in your

lives, I can't wait for the wedding!!

Love you! ~Lori

Had to share this....

Love this pic of Sadie smiling at her Mama......

Belly bump!

I just love a belly bump, don't you?

Jessica, I am so envious....I don't think

I looked this good with the first...and

certainly not the 2nd!

*

Thanks so much for choosing me....

this is such a special moment in our

lives, and sometimes we don't realize

it and skip the pics of ourselves...."ahem."

*

Baby "Jacks" has a beautiful family

waiting for him! I can't wait to meet him!

Nick + Erin = Rockin' Couple

I photographed this rockin' couple last weekend....

I was blown away at Erin 's talent...she made

her wedding dress & veil, made her daughter's

dress, made cute little place card tuxes & dresses,

made the food...alot of food, made her invites,

her cake and decorated for the reception!

Now, she had a lot of help from family the

day of, but still......unbelievable what this chick

pulled off for a 10am wedding!

*

Nick attended school to study graphic arts

& photography! He is serving our country in

the Army and was only home for a short time to

finalize their wedding. Nick, thank you for

keeping all of us safe!

*

Tbey were both so comfortable in front of the

camera and were so "in the moment."

You can not only "see" their love in these

pics, you can feel it! And check out their

SHOES! Too cute! After we took pics in their

wedding attire, they changed into street clothes.

*

Erin & Nick.....I had sooooo much FUN!

Truly....thanks so very much for including

me in your special day!

This one I tried with two different actions

I use....I loved both looks!

Here they are with their beautiful daughter, "R."

Love her hair.....al nautral........



LOVE the shoes!!!!!

New Friends....

I loved meeting this new family! I have two

boys of my own and they are very energetic

to say the least! These three were full of it

themselves! Little "J" below was very

quick on his feet! Isn't he a doll?

Next is little "O," who was quite shy of me...

I think the bubbles & fruit snacks changed his mind!

Then there is "N," such a sweetheart....

He's 5, like one of my little guys....I love 5!

This one I had to share.... Do you know what

this pic shows? Security......he loves his bear.
