I'm a stay at home mother to 5 awesome boys (13, 8, 7, 4, & 2), and a wife to my dear hubby. :) I have a total passion for photography and just can't get enough. I have recently started portfolio building and having a blast!! I just love photographing children. :) I also LOVE using my macro and shooting flowers with drops. Just give me a day with my camera, flowers, and a water bottle and I'm a happy camper lol ;)

Lori is such a stunning photographer, her work is so beyond amazing there are hardly words for it. I truely believe I favorited a majority of her work. Her macros are so stunning, its hard to think that before she got her new camera she was taking those gorgeous shots with the same camera as me, which made me love my camera even more and I'm so not ready to let that baby go. Lori is also such a sweet and caring friend and always tries to find time to comment me back weather I comment on her recent post or not. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Lori and her photography. Lots of Love, Amber

Okay, I have to admit to being a slacker when it comes to writing testimonials for people. Unless, of course, they blow me away with their work. And this is true with Lori's work! Her photos are works of art! Lori's macros stand out to me way above the rest. They ooze with a light unreal. She captures more than a little world we don't see very often..she captures that world at it's most beautiful moment. The sparkle...the light..amazing! She is also a sweetheart! It is so hard for me to believe she has little ones running around and she still manages to knock everyone's socks off with her amazing talent :D I am honored to call Lori one of my best Flickr friends. Thank you for all your support in my work. Love you xxxx

Lori is a true artist with a distinctive style. She is the queen of the water drop shot! Over time, she has made this shot her signature. If flowers with water drops were mp3 players, Lori’s are the Ipod:) She has developed a style that although often imitated is unmatched on Flickr. The pictures of her little beautiful boy, who I have nicknamed: The Flickr baby, (because he is on explore with every post:), are stunning portraits with a style only she could pull off. Lori is a very sweet person, always helpful and encouraging, and always faithful with a genuine comment. I consider her a true friend and an inspiration.

Well I am not sure I can say anything in this testimonial about Lori that will do her justice because she is AMAZING in so many ways! I have been on Flickr for over two years now and Lori is by far the kindest and most generous person I have met. I am inspired daily not only by her brilliant photographs but also by her generous spirit. She is one of a kind and I deeply value her friendship. Each photograph that Lori posts is stunning. Everyday I find myself looking forward to her pictures. Seeing the world through her eyes has allowed me to see it in a fresh and exciting way. She is a rare talent and I am so grateful to have had the honor of experiencing her creative vision. Whether it is one of her dramatic macros or a brilliant portrait of her cutie Evan I am always in awe of her talent. Thank you Lori for being you and for sharing yourself with all of us.

Her macros are incredible, her portraits are incredible, her bokehs are the best I've seen, her processing is amazing, and I could go on and on. I am always excited when I see a new photo from her in my contacts because I know it'll be a new perspective as she shares a glimpse of the world through her lens. Thank you for inspiring us all Lori and thank you for taking the time to peek into my world as well. :)

Lori, armed with her 'cannon,' surrounded by her 5-man troops proves that the hands that rock the cradle will take steady superb shots. Her enthusiasm and unmatched passion for photography really shines through; and you can't ask for more than that in a flickr photostream. Not only does Lori take wonderful attention-grabbing bokeh, she has a perspective for portraits, baby portraits, especially. Her works on these portraiture have fascinated and inspired me. I am proud to say that I do revisit some of them over and over again. Her bokeh works are some enormous treat. Simply tasteful. I wish Lori best of all wishes. More and more fabulous pics will certainly on their way. Thank you so much for sharing.

We also get to see precious children's photos. I never tire of those gorgeous blue eyes and the cute expressions you capture with your children. And lastly, the more recent texture addiction!! Beautiful images to begin with, that you enhance with your texture work. So well done!! I always look forward to seeing what you are posting for the day, and value your visits to my stream as well.

"mslori411" you make the dreams come true. She is so talented to use photography as a channel to share happy stories, create fantasy and lights on inspirations. She must be one of the experts on BOKEH, her bokehs are very unique and extraordinary. They are dreams and fantasy, this is the magic to bring the viewers to a very calm and pure atmosphere, where we can have refreshment and so relaxing to enjoy the beauty. All the portraits are so sweet and true beauty from the heart, I can feel the passion from her, the happiness from her daily life.

She has a sense I tell ya.... And, personally, a mother to that many boys is my hero, too. Being a mother is the most wonderful, hardest job I know. I know. =) And she does it well and with love. If she can take these kinds of pictures while raising a team of boys, she must be somethin' special....
