Writing makes me happy. So does taking photos. I've always envied artists who paint, draw and sculpt. I had a longing somewhere inside to express myself in a visual way. Photography has helped me fulfill that.

"Lorilea's photography is some of the best on flickr. There might be better technical photographers here, but you can see her love of both her child and her camera, and thats something that alot of photographers are missing. Her daily (or nearly) photos of Devin are an amazing light into what its like raising a child.
I wish I had an ounce of the same determination she has to do the same with my children because I know that when Devin gets older he's going to have an amazing look back into his childhood."5th June, 2007

"I first connected to Lori through her pictures of Devin, whom I can relate to on some personal levels. But even more entertaining, is watching Lori's photography skills grow and improve. Not only do I see glimpses of my childhood with her son, but I learn techniques and skill from her."

"I'm happy to have Lori as a contact. Her photos are stunning and I love the perspective and angle she takes on her personal life through her photography. She is more than a mother... she is a wife, coffee slut and one of those "real deal" photographers. She has the eye and her photos are the picture of perfect. I await for the next one... and the next one... and the next one... and yes, the next one!"

"Lorilea has this uncanny ability to take the mundane or ordinary and make it beautiful and interesting to look at - more than once. I know she loves her boy because that's evident but it's very nice to see her life and that she lives one worthy of pictures. Thank you....."

"I love watching Lori's stream - each day there's something new and fun. I often laugh at the cool things she shares with us. She's open and shares Dev's growing with us - it is almost like having a little boy of my own :)"

"I love Lorilea! She was one of the first people I noticed when I first came to Flickr. Her sumptuous food shots and her adorable loving picures of her beautiful little son immediately caught my eye. She has such love, warmth and kindness in her heart. I wish you didn't live so far away but I am so happy to know you, Lorilea!"

"One of the best things about flickr is meeting other parents/photographers who love chronicling their children's lives. Lori obviously loves photography and her son (but not in that order!) and that shows in all her pictures. We enjoy keeping up with Dev's doings and watching him grow."
