YAY Bachelorette Party!

I recently spent the weekend in the mountains with a group of girls celebrating a bachelorette party weekend.  It was so much fun! The bride got to spend the weekend relaxing and relishing in all of the planning that she accomplished over the past year. Don't worry, the groom will soon have his own weekend in Vegas. Sounds fun, right?

We ran into so many other bride and groom parties on our weekend that I started to think about the point of the party. It really is just to have another party in celebration of the wedding/commitment and where the maids and/or the groomsmen kick off a last farewell to their friends unmarried life. With so many couples waiting to get married/committed until later in life, the perception is that marriage is boring, unfulfilled, or is always a mistake, I don't believe this! Being a photographer and going to hundreds of weddings, I believe a marriage/commitment is what you make it.  Just like a friendship, you can't just expect it to work by itself.  Time and energy must go in to creating happiness between the two of you, while still juggling your own personalities. 

It annoys me that people see people getting married and the first thing they say is a sarcastic, "GOOD LUCK!" I experienced the same comments when I got married. Well ladies and gentleman, don't let the negativity get you down!!! The negative Nancey's might have a reason to be haters on your relationship but, it doesn't mean it is your burden to carry. Have a wonderful day!

Wedding Inspiration Board

Inspiration Board of Lori J Photography, wedding photography. This event was held at The Pines of Genesee in Colorado. The bride and groom had good luck on their wedding day with a late day shower. It still didn't interfere with photo time. I hope this board will give you inspiration for your Colorado Wedding.

The Beauty of Art

I am pleased to say that all of my searches last year and endless hours hunting online and in person paid off. I have found so many wonderful distributors and vendors that make awesome products that I can offer to all of you, my clients. I believe this is very important because, not only will you get awesome photographs by yours truly, but you can have an array of products to choose from to display your FAVORITE images on your wall in your home! That is exciting.

My job as a photographer is to bring art into your home. Most of the time that art is of you BUT, that doesn't mean that you don't need to hang it up! It is a way for you to relish in your life and all of the emotion that it brings. All you will need is a hammer and a nail.

If you had a shoot from me in the past and would like to find out how your home can be decorated with beautiful canvas prints or lovely photographs, please contact me.

Women in Design Event Photography at Von Design

The Women in Design of Denver VIP membership celebration was held at Von Design. This uniquely designed studio has very high quality designs that use of lush wood and raw materials with intention of sustainability.  I was totally impressed by all of varying art forms and the detail this group put into making this event happen. They also seemed to have a lor of fun putting it all together.  From the custom made WiD aprons they wore to the DIY photo-booth inclusive of hardhats and boas, it was an awesome networking event.

Follow me on Pintrest

Pintrest is a dream come true! I love the way that people can post and help me, as their photographer, get a sense of their style. Of course, I use my own creativity in my photography! However, pintrest pins allow brides and grooms to communicate what they want beyond the expression of words. Personally, I use Pintrest to keep myself focused on my health and replicating unique projects that I would not otherwise know what supplies to purchase.

With as much time as we spend on the internet as a society, Pintrest is a release and helps my hubby understand the project I want him to start for our home improvements.

Lori J Photography is on Pintrest!! Follow my boards AND if you are a current client, shoot me an email to be invited to the client board to post your favorite photography.

Sneak Peak: Ohh December Babies

We started off the newborn session photo session with a baby not loving that we put her out in the air with no comforts of her warm, fluffy blanket.  But between breaks and cute snuggles with mom and dad, Baby McKenzie settled for a swaddle from Daddy and was off to sleep.  Newborn photography can be tricky and really stressful for new parents, but the M family rocked it. Enjoy the sneak peak!

What is a mini session?

What is a mini session?

Lori J Photography in Denver is currently organizing a mini session for Valentines Day 2013. During the midst of organizing this and starting to tell people, I soon realized that my photography industry lingo was not getting the response I anticipated. So, I thought that I would give everyone a little insider explanation of what a Mini Session is!

A mini session is not cheap photography but it is affordable and shortened, which may be a benefit to you and/or your family. This is especially beneficial to those of you who really don’t like taking pictures; its short and sweet for your busy life! What a great sacrifice to have a beautiful piece of art to hang up in your home

What is a mini session is NOT

·      Boring

·      Expensive

·      Time consuming

·      Cheap photography

·      Only for kids
