About Lorraine
Our achievements grow according to the size of our dreams, and the degree to which we are aware of our destiny.
I like that…a lot. Six years ago, I began this journey never dreaming that this love for photography would develop into my livelihood – and that it would grow to include Gabriel, my husband, business partner and best friend. Awesome! Our boutique home portrait studio specializes in family, senior and wedding pictures – just perfect for every stage of life.
I do not just consider myself a photographer, but a friend…one who is here to create motivation and opportunity for you to express your life to the fullest with those you love, moments caught to remember and celebrate.
Life tells every story…once. Let me help you to start telling your story today!

Our Guarantee
We know that our clients are looking for photography that is authentic, beautiful and captures the heart and soul of the person being photographed. This is our highest goal, and one that we consistently meet. In fact, we feel so strongly about this that we guarantee if you are unhappy with your session in any way – if we missed the mark and did not capture the “authentic you” – we will refund your session fee or re-schedule a new session at no additional charge. We love it when our clients say there are too many good choices – it’s a great problem to have, and one we strive to give to you!
