meet lori
Welcome friends! I'm so glad you are here and considering me to photograph one of the most important days of your lives, it is such an honor! I can't wait to meet you!
A little about me...My husband Jim and I have been together 11 years and decided to get married in 2017. We, along with our adopted sweet Ragdoll cat Maggie Girl, live in Jefferson, NC, a quaint little town nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Ashe County in the heart of the high country. We call it the #thecoolestcorner in North Carolina! This is such a beautiful destination wedding spot and we are so thankful to live here year round! We have one beautiful daughter, and 4 grandchildren, 3 girls and 1 boy, of which we spoil every chance we get.
It's such an honor to work with incredible couples , sharing their day. I believe in true love and true connections and want to get to know you so I can tell your story by creating an authentic record of your day. My goal is to create beautiful and timeless images that you’ll want to look at over and over again and pass down to your future generations. My wedding photography style is a mix of classic styled group shots, creative artistic portraits and non posed informal documentary coverage. I love those intimate little moments when no one realizes I'm watching, they are the best! I service the high country and beyond. I'm Looking forward to hearing from you.

My approach to photography is the fact I believe the most important thing about your session or wedding is you. My job as your photographer is to artistically capture your moments as they unfold. When you receive your photos I want you to remember exactly what you were thinking and feeling. I want you to see events on your day that you didn't have the opportunity to experience at the time. I want to take you back again and again to your day.
