Drool and squeak toys!

I love dogs! I have two of my own and they steal my heart. Our animals are family members in our households. Most people would not think to get photography of their dogs until it is too late. I cherish life's moments and see photography as a visual representation of a moment in time for us to remember. Please take a moments to pet your animals today and take a moment to enjoy the smiles they bring you.

The Furry Friends Mini Session was a hit! I recruited my husband to help me with this photo session because I knew that being behind the camera and taming a few puppies, was a multitasking job that I couldn't tackle. It was a fabulous overcast day, which is a photographers dream! As each dog arrived at the shoot, the owners received their goodie bags filled with coupons, organic treats, all natural dog bones, and a squeak toy.  The dogs knew that behind that tissue paper was a treat, so they tore into the tissue paper and trampled over the lovely bag. I guess the dogs didn't care as much about presentation as us humans.

Did you miss this mini session, well then sign up for updates on the blog or Facebook and stay tuned for the next themed mini session held by Lori J Photography. I picked a few of my favorite images. Enjoy!

Hot Wedding Trend- Mint!

I was on Pinterest and came across a board that I just loved. As a Denver wedding photographer, I am always looking at wedding blogs, magazines, stores, and websites. A hot new wedding trend color this year is MINT.  I do think that Mint is an awesome wedding color! Mint reminds me of the stone jade, which in other cultures is good luck. Having good luck is the best for wedding day activities, why not spread out the luck everywhere by having the color mint as part of your theme. Mint is also refreshing and that is a must during summer outdoor weddings.

My inspiration for todays blog:

F is for Family-Sneak Peek!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing shots of a family and engagement session in one. Let me tell you this family was awesome! They warned me that their kiddos would be running all over the place, well they were! BUT, that didn't stop us from getting some great images and having a good time! Thank you Gina, Glen, & all your wonderful kiddos!

Importance of Business Head shots

I love working with professionals on obtaining a look the conveys what they do in their line of business and who they are.  Recently I have worked with a lovely therapist.  Marjorie Laird holds a private practice in Lakewood and dedicates a lot of her time and devotions to a non-profit foundation called Second Wind Fund.

Thank you Marjorie for helping and giving back to the community. Your efforts are selfless and heartfelt. It was a pleasure to photograph your professional head shots!

Inspiration Estes Park Wedding

So wedding season is here and we still have snow on the ground. I am certainly looking forward to some warmer days.  I like to celebrate the start of wedding season with creating inspiration boards of my weddings from the prior year. Most photographers do a recap of the year at the start of the year. I personally like to go through my weddings at the start of the wedding season to ponder all of the lovely weddings I was invited to photograph, all of the great venues I visited, and all of the couples who blossomed their love. Weddings are such a monumental occasion, a big THANK YOU to all of my previous clients! I look forward to photographing your love and your family growth in the years to come. Lets keep in touch through social media. Go to the Lori J Photography Facebook page and click "Like".

Need a new profile image for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is a go to for many professionals. I recently did a photography session for a female professional who was determined to have a new LinkedIn image. Of course when everyone thinks of taking a new profile photo, the first thing they think of is, "Oh, I just need one photo".

As a photography professional, I don't believe that is the best way to capture the essence of YOU. This is the YOU that future employers and all of your connections see.  Spend a little bit of money to catch some second looks, get a return on your investment with a fabulous Professional Lifestyle/Business shoot the shows the best YOU! Sessions starting at $225

Beach Wedding Inspiration

I love beach weddings. Because I am from Florida, I have had the opportunity to return home and photograph some wonderful beach weddings. While I am sitting here watching the snow fall in Denver, I was reminded of this wonderful wedding on Anna Maria Island, Florida. If you are thinking of a beach or destination wedding spot, this board might be of interest. But if you are only stopping by to look at pretty wedding photos, Enjoy!

Cooking Love-Hate Relationship

My blog this week is to reach out to Lori J Photography clients out there.  I know that each and every day you all might struggle with tackling certain tasks in our household.  Keeping the house clean, laundry, the kiddos, pets, juggling friends, family, and gatherings, OH I almost forgot the other family that you spend more time with WORK! Oh my gosh, who has time to plan a nice meal??  Maybe you do cook all the time but don't know what else to make.  Cooking is a BIG hot topic for my household. "What are we going to eat for dinner?" We shout as one of us stares looking into the fridge....like a magic meal is going to pop out and hit us in the face.  Ok so, I am sure that each and every one of us struggle with finding what to make for meals each week. Yes...yes??? Any takers? Well even if you don't want to comment on this blog, I know that it happens!

Life is so crazy that when we get home, we don't have the energy or maybe even the time to cook.  So in order to help out, I thought that we could all help each other. THANK YOU PINTEREST! I have created a Pinterest board that I use to help me pick out meals before I go shopping each week. 

If you would like to be added to the group so that you can help add your favorite meals for pinning, please send me an email with your email address or just follow my "Fast Food is for the Birds" Pinterest board.
