    I met Lorena when I was 6 months pregnant with my 6th child. It never, ever would have entered my mind to do maternity pictures. I thought those where only affordable by the “rich and famous”. I also thought that there would be no way that I would want “formal” picture of me while I was pregnant. I was really not interested.

    I wound run into Lorena 3 times a week when we would drop our children off at playschool and Lorena would tease me about having some maternity pictures done.

    After about 6 weeks I got curious and went onto her website. The maternity photos beautifully done and extremely affordable. Since this was my last pregnancy I decide that I would do it! When I was looking through her old website I never looked through the whole site- I missed the photos of the tasteful, but still partial nude shots. Thank goodness! I never would have mustered up the courage.

    Lorena was so patient when we were doing ALL the family shots and took the cues from the kids as to what would work best. Remember at the time we were 2 adults and 5 1/2 kids. Complicated…

    I was relieved that we were coming to the end of the session (so I thought). Lorena then told me that now it was time to do the “bare belly shots”. I thought she was kidding. She explained that the photos were going to tasteful and with different lighting to really show the belly. Inside my head I was FREAKING out. All I could think of was all the imperfections. Stretch marks, fat, ugly belly button! Lorena said “trust me. We can take the photos and if you never want to look at them again then you can always put them in a drawer. But this time will never be here again.” She knew.

    Well, I trusted Lorena, a woman I hardly knew. When the photos came in I was so grateful. The time had past. My daughter was already born when I saw the maternity photos for the first time. I couldn’t believe that was my belly! I didn’t see the imperfections that I was so consumed with at the session.

    I now have beautiful, artistic, precious maternity portraits displayed in my house that I frequently look at (now 5 years later). I am forever grateful.

    I also have many wonderful pictures of my family interacting with me and each other; at a time when there was excitement, nervousness and lots of emotion. I look at those maternity photos and can remember that time so clearly because of those beautiful, timeless photos.

    Eternally Grateful,
    Tami L.

    We had such an awesome time doing our Maternity portraits and Newborn photo sessions with Lorena. My 2 year toddler didn’t faze Lorena at all when she was walking around trying to help with the gear instead of posing for pictures.

    Lorena knows her stuff when it comes to newborns too. During our newborn portrait session, she knew when she could pose my baby girl and move her without waking her up and keeping her calm, when to ‘top her up’ with another feed and how to get great shots despite having a wiggly worm for a baby.

    It’s because Lorena is a mom too and has experienced it all herself, that she’s so knowlegable and efficient at what she does. It’s great to just sit back and watch Lorena do her thing, makes it very peaceful and fun to experience. It doesn’t hurt that the props she uses are adorable and fun to go thru! I want some of those hats for home…

     

    We’ll definatly be keeping in touch. I’m looking forward to doing another session in the spring

    I am really fortunate because alot of clients who come to see me for their maternity portrait sessions and newborn photo sessions decide to continue seeing me to capture their baby’s first year.  I have been specializing in baby photography for almost 10 years now and it is still so amazing to me to be able to watch these little babies grow into toddlers and to be part of their first year.

    Long time client and good friend Nathalie has volunteered to allow us capture her and her family as they do all of my Babys First Year photo sessions.

    This testimonial she explains why she felt it was so important to capture her little guys “Precious Parts”
