Welcome to the House of Loralei blog. Here you will find past sessions, photography trips, and even my artistic journey.
I did the math. Ouch! The part of getting older, the years go by so fast. Lol But, it has been 10 years since I started with Shelly at ImagesAZ magazine! Over 40 covers and 60+ stories for her publication. I can’t say enough about the owner and publisher, Shelly Spence. She is a pillar...
When I arrived here from Chicago over 20 years ago, the first stop I made was the Phoenix Art Museum. I had spent my entire life up till that point studying the Art Institute of Chicago and I was eager to see what Phoenix had to offer. Present day, I get to photograph the new...
Not sure I’ve ever photographed a family that defined Arizona life so much! Out on frontier land in the desert and the backdrop of Superstion mountains. The whole shoot with their seven kids was an Arizona adventure! One that I would gladly do over again because all of these kiddos are awesome. Plus, I’ve been...
Every family has a story that is worth documenting. A lot of my shoots are extended families coming into town together and it’s an opportunity to capture them all together. So those shoots are primarily about capturing connections as well as documenting. But once in awhile during the shoot I can grab that incredible shot...
I first met Lucy Dickens for an article that I was photographing for an editorial shoot for ImagesAZ magazine. I thought she was amazing right away! An incredible artist and a truly authentic and genuine spirit. Recently she had a book signing event for her new published book, Through the Fire. What an incredible evening...
Carol called me up last minute back in October as she realized this spectacular masquerade ball that she was throwing didn’t have a photographer! I’m so glad I was free to help her out because what a fabulous party it was. An incredible group of friends, all dressed in their crazy costumes and ready to...
Another incredible shoot with an another High School Senior from this year! An incredible young man graduating from Brophy this month. I have to say, truly a kind and remarkable kid. I love working with Seniors like this, they are so kind and want to get creative on shoots, especially with their first cars! Without...
Getting to shoot in a glassblower’s studio was always on my bucket list and thanks to artist Newt Grover, I get to check it off. The fire, the glass, the pace, it all makes for an exciting shoot with the opportunity for so many amazing images. Although, this was a few years ago for a...
I love when a Senior portraits turn more into a fashion shoot than some typical Senior pictures. I certainly am not that photographer for sure. If a Senior comes to me for their session, I know they mean business! They want the whole deal of professional makeup, fashion, lights, assistants and “oh my gosh, look...
Creating a family shoot like this is one of my favorite experiences as an Artist. Sandi and Dave are pretty new to Arizona and wanted to decorate the walls of their beautiful new Desert Mountain home with portraits of their large family. Shooting within the gorgeous settings of their home as well as the Desert...
