Chad & Sarah are engaged

As I made my way towards downtown Charleston I got so excited about capturing the love between Chad & Sarah. I met Sarah & Chad back in April of this year when they contacted me to photograph their wedding in September. I have kept in touch with Sarah via email for the past few months. Sarah is an amazing woman! She is the sweetest person you'll ever meet and I mean the sweetest! Chad LOVES to climb walls! I couldn't believe it until I saw it first hand and I just busted out laughing along with Sarah because here Chad was climbing a brick wall in old downtown Charleston.

In the middle of our session I took a minute and just put the camera down and looked at them both and I was so taken back when I saw how Chad looked at Sarah. It was as if nothing in the world mattered but her. She is his entire world and you can see it in almost every picture. And when you don't see it you see Sarah looking at him the same way he looks at her with pure, honest, love. They are simply an amazing couple. They have been together since high school, went to college together and now that Sarah has graduated college Chad is going to grad school. In less than 60 days they'll be husband and wife.

So without further delay, here is a sneak peak into Sarah's and Chad's session on June 27th. For more photos just click on my Facebook fan page and you can view more.

Where have I been lately?

Hey y'all sorry I have not been posting but wow has it been crazy busy in my life lately. I had my step kids come down for their Summer vacation and just left not too long ago. I was so blessed to have photographed my step-daughter (who I consider my own daughter) for her Senior pictures. Yes, she is graduating already! I cannot believe that I met her father when she was just 10 years old and here we are watching her graduate from High School. She's a beautiful young lady and below are some of her Senior photographs. She lives in IL so to have the beach as a backgroud for her its fabulous.

As for my 3 boys well my two oldest have gone for the Summer with their Daddy. They left today- I am left here with my two year old and my husband. My husband is deploying again for 6 months shortly (I can't give out dates) just keep us in prayers! He is going to a really bad location and I am worried sick.

As for business its been busy. I've booked a lot of sessions and you may view my work under my Facebook fan page or on my website. I will try to update the blog as much as possible. I twitter and Facebook so if you want to know what's going on in the world of Lori Lee just look me up :) Hope y'all have been having a fabulous Summer.

I am so excited to share with y'all.

Back in December I photographed Kenny & Sabrina. They were trying to start a family but were unsuccessful. I told Sabrina that I'd keep her and Kenny in my prayers and that God would bless them with a baby when it was the right time. I am so excited to share with y'all that Sabrina and Kenny are now expecting! Sabrina is due January 2011. Both Sabrina & Kenny are on cloud 9. I pray that God blesses them with a healthy child. I will keep y'all updated on Sabrina & Kenny. But for now let's keep Sabrina in prayers that she may have a healthy pregnancy.

Sabrina & Kenny CONGRATULATIONS!

My very first slide show!

So today I decided to try out something new. I wanted to take my favorite session from this year thus far the session between Matt & Megan- A super fun couple who I totally love. You can see the love in each and every picture. I will get better as I keep doing this I KNOW I WILL! I am looking for a better video quality so for the time being enjoy!

The beauty of Savannah, GA

If you've never been to Savannah, GA you should so go! I went for the very first time with my husband and children on April 18th, it was fabulous! The history that is in Savannah took my breath away. Living in Charleston, SC you are surrounded with beauty and with a lot of history but seeing graves that dated back to the 1700's was to me a little insane. LOL. We were all in awe. My boys were asking so many questions about Savannah- it was nice to learn together about the history and the people and its origins. It was almost as if you took a trip back in time :) It was lovely. Of course we had to make a pit stop at the Lady & Sons because we love our Paula. Now that I am done rambeling here are some photographs from Savannah

Back from Spring Break

I went home to Palm Beach, FL for my spring break. I took the kids with me and my friend Angela (it was her 1st time in FL) we all had a great time. I always love going home- but oh how I missed South Carolina.

While in Palm Beach I woke up to see nothing but blue skies and nice blue beaches. Lots of palm trees and birds. I watched the tourist faces lite up when they saw how blue the ocean was, Angela even cried. I guess I never really saw the beauty of Palm Beach till just recently when I went. I took some photos and when I got home and downloaded them onto the computer I was in awe of the beauty I captured. And I just wanted to share the beauty of Palm Beach, FL to everyone!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Spring Break- now its back to the rat race as I say.
