Esthetically, I love true colors and to capture that glowy light! I am considered to have a photojournalistic style with a pop of editorial. You will feel something when you see your photos. The goal is for you to look at your photos and say "Gosh, that day made me feel like my dreams have come true, I'll never forget"!
if you're one that says "I am so awkward!" before a shoot, I know just the right things to make you loosen up and make beautiful art. Every time people leave me saying: "gosh this was so much fun! Not awkward at all!"
Hello, It's me Loriana Marie!
A couple things that changed my photography forever!
When I had my first daughter, Bella, I couldn’t stop dressing her up, posing her and running after her snapping photos. I never wanted to forget all her perfections in all stages of her life. All of the sudden, people started to ask who the photographer was that took all of these photos, and I had the pleasure to say, “Its me!” That was 19 years ago. I have so much fun photographing life, and the emotions that last forever.
When my mom passed away, she passed a few days before a wedding I was shooting. I recognized I would need support. I hired a second shooter, and the two of us tackled the day together. I bring this up, because that wedding changed me as a photographer. My moms death (my cousin and nieces to follow) made me realize that those photos we were capturing could be someones last photos together. From then on I did everything I could to capture every moment I could see. I shoot with intention, looking and even creating moments between loved ones. Because life and it's precious moments truly are fleeting. Thats why every look, is so important to be captured!

How do you make me comfortable so candid moments can happen?
I have several prompts up my sleeve. I will slightly pose you or tell you to walk hand in hand, look at each other, pull her hand in for a kiss. pull her in for a kiss fast! Spin around. etc etc. While getting ready on a wedding day, I ask mom to put on her daughters necklace. To hand her wedding bouquet to her. These create beautiful moments for beautiful photos! Or if you want 100% candid, thats great too! I will capture you just as you are with no prompts at all. This is up to you to decide.
What if it rains?
If we are talking about weddings, lets grab those umbrellas and work with it, lets get outside at night and have some fun with flash. If there are coverings around we will absolutely utilize those as well. There is always indoors as well.
Everything else: Few things, we can always reschedule if its really bad, I will reach out and make that call. If it is a mist, lets roll with it. No one will ever know. If anyone is ever up for it though... I would love to do a shoot in the pouring rain, very romantic Notebook (the movie) vibes.
How long will it take for me to get my photos?
Wedding photos take two working months, Seniors and family photos take 3 weeks. All exclude holidays.
How do I receive my photos?
I use a site called Pixieset to deliver all of my galleries digitally. From there you can download at no additional charges (unless contracted otherwise). You can order prints, or take the files elsewhere to have prints made. Please note I do not guarantee colors from other printers other than my own.

an average of 70 photos an hour. The digitals are yours! No paying for your images.
What about locations?
I have a lot of locations that feel pretty exclusive to me, that are so beautiful! If you have a location that is specific to you, we can shoot there too! If you need help, I am your gal!
