No one is reading your website…

…not if you don’t captivate them first. In the scrolling and skimming reality we live in, the only way to stop people in their tracks is authentic imagery.

Your brand needs to create a genuine emotional connection both online and in person – and fast – which generic stock photos often struggle to do. 

It’s the real magic in your business that needs to be front-and-center: the gentle care, the wagging tails, the relief on an owner’s face, pet’s enjoying the products you have created. These aren’t just photos—they’re visual stories that build instant trust.

Let’s work together to create joyful and real images that make your business stand out

The investment in her services has proven to be invaluable.

Instead of generic stock photos, we now have genuine images that resonate with our community.

I highly recommend Lori to any business looking to enhance their images and create a more personal connection with their clients. Her photos authentically capture the essence of our daily operations, showcasing the care and dedication our team puts into each interaction, building a strong sense of trust and transparency with our clients.

Her art has also transformed our exam rooms. Clients often mention how the images have helped ease their anxiety. Seeing personalized images around our practice adds a warm, familial touch and strengthens the bond between us and the pet owners.

FAQ

What size and type of businesses do you work with?

Most of my commercial work so far has been with local and national Veterinary Practices as well as other pet related businesses of all sizes - from solopreneurs like dog trainers, to small and medium sized businesses like pet boarding facilities and pet boutiques, to national brands who make products for dogs and cats.

I would love to branch out to non-pet businesses like hotels, restaurants, or retail stores looking for soulful and joyful images to connect with their audience. Is this you? Let’s chat.

What are your prices for commercial photography, art & décor, and image licensing?

Final pricing will depend on the scope of the project and your needs. From a headshot, to a few select images for your website or wall, to a full library of images that are updated regularly, I’ll make working together easy by offering all-inclusive pricing so you can maximize the use of your images forever.

Do you offer headshots?

Yes! With or without animals, a professional headshot is a must. Do you hate having your picture taken? I've been told from people that the headshot I gave them is their favorite of all time and they are never changing it!

Do you license images you’ve already taken or do I need to have my own photo shoot?

For stock images that don't look like stock, image licensing is an easy way to elevate your brand without a custom photo shoot.

I have a full library of dog, cat, owners with their pets, and veterinary practice images that are available for licensing for product packaging, magazines, brochures, pamphlets, magazine ads, websites, trade show displays, artwork for your office space, and anything else you may want or need. Please get in touch with information about your project so I can curate some options for you.

Do you have more commercial portfolio images I can view?

Absolutely! I am happy to send you galleries from any projects that you want to see more of. Message and let me know what you want to see.

What other services besides photography can you provide to my small business?

To make sure your customers have the best experience and connect emotionally with your business, it's super important that everything looks and feels consistent—from your website, to your brand video, to your social media.

Big companies usually have a team dedicated to this, but smaller businesses often juggle multiple vendors (web designers, social media managers, etc.), which can sometimes lead to a fragmented visual presence. I can help with that! I keep an eye on the big picture, collaborating with everyone to create a consistent aesthetic and vibe across all platforms and media. This cooperation also ensures I’m taking photos that are really needed to make your business and brand shine.

And if you're a one-or-two-person business, building your website on Squarespace or Shopify, designing brochures in Canva, and handling your own social media, I can show you some easy and affordable ways to make your brand look great, even if you don't have a ton of custom photos yet.

I also do simple graphic design for things like holiday cards, brochures, rack cards, and displays for events. And if you need more complex graphic design, brand videos, or a website, I can recommend people I trust.

Want to hear more and see some examples of how I've partnered with other businesses beyond photography? Reach out and let's chat!

I’m interested, what is the process to get started?

I know you are busy with your business, so I make the process as easy as possible. The first step is letting me know what your needs are, if you have a specific project in mind, or if you have any questions.

Message me with questions or information about your project and I’ll get back to you, or, if you prefer to hop on a quick call (sometimes it’s faster and easier just to chat it out), you can call me at 410-990-1058 or schedule a time for me to call you.
