SLOW DANCE THROUGH EVERY
Lazy weekends curled up in bed. Inside jokes no one else gets. That quick look you give each other across a crowded room, lips curling into a cheeky smile.
This isn’t about a fancy, performative shoot with fake candids. It’s about actually being together, doing the things you already love.
Whatever a slow Sunday feels like for you, that’s exactly the kind of magic I want to bottle up. Visual mementos that capture the easy love and magnetic energy between you two.

INQUIRE FOR A TAILORED QUOTE
"We couldn’t recommend Lori enough!”
- MARAL P.
"For our first shoot experience, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. And she was so friendly and accommodating to our dog! Lori is so thorough with her communication, making sure she does everything she can to bring your vision to life. I really appreciated the regular check-ins with so much detail and direction.
And our final gallery was so special to see! Definitely worth booking a session with her to bring your story to life!"
A LITTLE SOMETHIN’ SOMETHIN’
Think of these as the cherry on top, not essential, but a bit of extra magic to make your memories entirely your own.
EXTRA HOURS
Maybe you're picturing a slow morning making pancakes at home, or a lazy wander through the local farmer's market, a "day in the life" type session that captures more of your everyday.
Simply add some extra hours, and I'll be there for all of it.
+ $650 per additional hour
35MM FILM
From the dreamy grain to the creamy tones and that exciting bit of unpredictability, there's just something about film. It's got a whole vibe of its own.
If you want a roll (or three) mixed in with your digital shots, I'm always down.
+ $100 per film roll
TRAVEL
Whether you're vibing Old Town San Diego Historic Park, Downtown Santa Barbara, Sunset Cliffs, or somewhere further up or down the coast, I'd love to make the trip.
Just let me know where your happy place is, and I'll meet you there.
+ Please inquire for a custom quote
LET’S PLAN YOUR DREAM SESSION
"Thank you, Lori, for a fun and unforgettable experience!”
We were both a little nervous in the beginning, but by the end we were having too much fun! Lori's creativity also shows in every single picture taken, and this gave us a good variety of pictures/styles to choose from.
Thank you again, Lori, and looking forward to our next photoshoot with you!
- SERGIO B.
OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER
1. LET’S CHAT
I'd love to hear all about what you're picturing for your session, and to get to know you two properly!
Please reach out, tell me a bit about your story, and I’ll get back to you ASAP. We can also hop on a quick video or phone call, if you like.
2. BOOK YOUR SESSION
Ready to lock it in? Eek, yay!
Simply sign the contract and pay the 50% retainer to secure your preferred session date.
3. PLANNING FUN
Whether it’s outfit planning or location scouting, I’m always here to help you feel excited and prepared for your session.
Whatever you need, just reach out!
4. DOPAMINE OVERLOAD
Just like a casual date, I'm all about creating space for you two to simply be yourselves and have a ton of fun. I'll keep things super relaxed and match your energy throughout.
Blending a documentary and cinematic approach, think of me as an observer (and a friend!) rather than a director, here to capture you two doing your thing, not staging a photoshoot.
5. GALLERY DELIVERY
While you’re off living your best lives, I’ll be in my cozy editing corner, curating and editing your gorgeous photos.
You can expect to receive your final gallery within 3 weeks, so prepare to snuggle up and relive your sweetest memories all over again!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m based in Long Beach, California, but I’ll travel anywhere to capture you two cuties!
Most of my couples plan their photography sessions in and around Southern California, including Orange County, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and beyond.
But if you’re picturing somewhere a little further afield, I’m more than happy to explore other locations with you. Please note that custom travel fees may apply for any locations further than 30 miles from Long Beach, CA.
Don’t have a location already in mind? No problem at all! Once you’ve booked your session, we can chat about the vibe you’re picturing, and I’ll share some of my most favorite spots to match.
Generally, we'll stick to one location, though if there's a second spot nearby (within walking distance, and it fits within our scheduled time), we can absolutely make it work! Anything further afield would require extra hours, which we can easily add to your package.
As for outfits, most people go with just one, but you're welcome to bring up to three. It really just depends on the location and whether there's a comfortable spot to change.
Yes, absolutely!!!!! Bring all your furry friends! Just let me know in advance so we can pick a pet-friendly location.
Say no more, YES. I’d be so honored to help you plan and capture the perfect surprise proposal! Please reach out so we can start brainstorming all the cute ideas.
Ahhh, I LOVE film so much! Yes, 35mm film photography is available as an add-on to any of my couples photography packages.
Oh my gosh, my heart! 🫶🥹
Please reach out to confirm my availability for your preferred date, and we’ll take it from there. I can’t wait to meet you both!
LET’S MAKE IT A WHOLE THING
Whether it’s a quiet coffee date or a sunset hike, whatever feels most true, I’m in for all of it.
BOOK YOUR SESSION 💛
