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 has a wonderful bubbly personality that I enjoy she encourages me as a photographer and I enjoy being on Flickr because of fantastic contacts like her.
Her photos rock! I love all her razor sharp details, BOKEH and amazing focus! I don't know where she finds the time to be such an excellent photographer and a mother of 5... You are an amazing woman!

"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"2nd March, 2009

"Lori's pictures are always so gorgeous! Her drops are really outstanding and are raising the bar really high, for us, drop lovers, to ever reach this level of perfection! She is also a generous and caring friend whose visits I always look forward to.
Lori, you are just too sweet, you make Flickr a beautiful place, thank you!

"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"26th February, 2009

"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."24th February, 2009

"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."10th February, 2009

traci meyer says:
"I found Lori's stream not so long ago and I have since been inspired to get out and look at the little things completely differently than I ever had. 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."26th December, 2008

"Lori, I think your photostream is one of the most colorful on Flickr!!
Such excellent macro shots, beautiful flowers and waterdrops, filled with wonderful bokeh!
But wait, that's not all. 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. Thanks for being my Flickr contact!"7th December, 2008

unlimited inspirations says:
""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.
Lori, thanks so much for your supports to me, and I am too happy to know you on FLICKR@

CTR Image Photography says:
"Lori---what can we say that would be adequate? I may need a dictionary for this one....=)
Lori has some keen eye for the close up details of nature. I can feel the images, and, almost smell them. 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...."24th November, 2008

"Lori is one of my favourite photographers here on Flickr... her stream is full of joy and colors, it's impossible not to fall in love with her beautiful bokehs and the little Evan, the cutest baby ever!!
She is also a great person, with a big heart and i've learned so much from her as a person as well.
She could have ignored me like a lot of people did, but she gave me a chance to show how sorry i was (still am actually) for everything wrong i did and to start over! you inspire me and i hope to be so wonderful as you are.
Thank you for letting me call you my friend :)

"Lori has the whole package! Her nature shots are always beautiful and processed to perfection - I so enjoy seeing what she comes up with.
But I think her real forte is children's portraiture. She is able to capture children in such a natural way which always portrays their genuine happiness.
She is also a really kind person who always takes time to check out my stream. So glad we are friends Lori:))"9th October, 2008
