MOTHERHOOD
ready to tell your story?
There's nothing I love more than capturing an expecting mother or a mother and her children. There's something so strong and powerful yet calm and nurturing about a woman with her loved ones. You deserve to be celebrated for the strong woman that you are. Motherhood is a time that requires so many demands from you; let's stop and cherish what it's really all about.
As part of the Lori Collective experience, you also get to browse my Client Closet to help you look and feel your best. Let me help you document this important season in your life so that you can see yourself through your children's eyes: beautiful, kind, and strong.

Booking times vary; it’s best to book 2-3 months in advance. For newborn sessions or special requests, I can sometimes accommodate bookings even a week in advance. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate client schedules, including weekdays and weekends.

What is your turnaround time for delivering photos?
q:
I aim to deliver a variety of shots without duplicates, typically ending up with around 200 carefully selected photos. I understand the importance of each photo, so I make sure to provide a rich selection of poses and moments. I don't want you to have to agonize over choosing just a few!

If it’s raining, we can reschedule the session. I typically make a call about the weather 2 hours before our session to decide. However, if you’re up for it, we can get creative with rain photography!
A:
What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?
q:
I am based in Markham and most of my sessions are nearby, but I am willing to travel if discussed beforehand. Travel fees apply and vary depending on the location. For example, I’ve traveled up to 45 minutes for a special beach session requested by a client.
A:
Do you travel for sessions, or do you have specific locations where you shoot?

I prefer to schedule photo sessions in the morning between 8-10 AM or in the afternoon around 4 PM. These times allow for optimal natural light which is crucial for creating the best images.

My rate is $380 per hour for up to one hour of shooting. Please note that studio fees are additional, but sessions at my home studio are included. Travel to your location is available with a fee based on distance.

q:
I have a client closet featuring a collection of gowns and children’s clothing that look stunning in photos. I recommend coming early to your session to choose and change into your outfits.
