I am more than my camera - I am a storyteller
Girl mama, cat mama, and forever snack provider. Most days you’ll find me chasing after my wild toddler, refereeing between Merlin & Wilbur (the cats, not distant relatives), and squeezing in as many cups of coffee as possible before midday.
On the days I swap my buggy-pushing for camera-carrying, I get to do what I love most! And that's taking photos.
Based in Kent but never one to shy away from a road trip, I travel across the country (rain or shine!) to capture love stories, loud laughter, and all the beautifully human moments in between.
I believe an image is only as beautiful as the memory behind it. That’s why, to create the most meaningful photographs, I focus on more than just the “picture-perfect” shot. I’ll be the calm in the chaos, the friendly face behind the lens, and sometimes even the extra pair of hands you didn’t know you needed. My aim? To make sure you feel completely at ease, fully present, and able to soak it all in — because that’s when the magic really happens.
Oh, hey there!
I'm Lori
I go by she/her pronouns. I'm a Hufflepuff! Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons. Christmas is my absolute favourite holiday. I've been Vegan since May 2019. You've Got Mail is my favourite movie. I am a proud Feminist. I hate butterflies. I am obsessed with Pumpkin Spice Lattes! I have Nannied 6 children. Musical Theatre is my second love after photography (I'm a performer at heart). I have two Cats called Merlin & Wilbur. My Fiancé and I have been together since 2011 and Engaged since 2021! Aristocats, Mary Poppins and Sleeping Beauty are my all-time favourite Disney movies. In August 2023 I took on my most important role yet - I became a Mama.
When I’m not clicking away behind the camera or playing around in my Maidstone studio, you’ll probably find me curled up at home in a makeshift blanket fort, complete with fluffy socks and a cat (or toddler!) vying for my attention! My coffee will almost certainly be going cold on the table (#mumlife), while I scroll endlessly through Disney+ in the desperate hope of avoiding yet another episode of Postman Pat.
Truthfully? I’m a homebody through and through. Give me a cosy movie night with tea (or wine), biscuits, and a big bowl of popcorn over a night out any day. It’s the simple, ordinary, real-life moments I treasure most, which is probably why I’m so obsessed with capturing them for others, too.
