Hello all! My name is Lori Benson. I’m so excited that you are thinking about booking a photography session with me, and I can’t wait to chat with you.
In the meantime, here is a bit about myself to help you get to know me a little. Besides specializing in wedding, engagement, family and maternity portraits....
- I married the love of my life February 10, 1996!
-
We are parents to two great kids.
-
We have two dogs and cat. Surprise, surprise...they get along perfectly!
-
I love romance novels. I not only read them, but I have some published novels myself.
-
Anything chocolate with peanuts, walnuts, or almonds is a must on my list.
-
I am an emergency disaster services volunteer for The Salvation Army. My passion for photography is matched by my passion to help others. My disaster images as well as other events and articles have been published on their national sites, and posted nationally across all social media platforms.
-
I feel incredibly blessed to be able to do photography. I meet so many amazing couples and now, for some couples, I have become their family portrait photographer.
