Shooting Star Photography bio picture

I'm glad you found me!

Welcome to my blog! Take a look around. Here you'll find recent posts of sneak peeks from sessions I have done, as well as contests and news.

Photography gives me a creative outlet and a way for me to freeze time. Time goes by even faster with a child, and photographing mine allows me to keep her small and with me forever.  God gave me the gift of photography. I share my gift of capturing and freezing time with others, and the thought of how I am able to do that for my clients, family, and friends  - makes me smile!

Out of the office until Thursday!

I’ll be in Las Vegas from Sunday - Wednesday with photographers from all over the world to learn and play at WPPI.

I’ll return emails and calls on Thursday!

Brothers! | {Birmingham, AL family photographer}

These two adorable boys are almost 3 years apart. Older brother’s 5th birthday is tomorrow, and little brother just turned 2 a little over a month ago! They were honestly the sweetest and happiest little guys. I had a great time photographing them!

John Daniel and Molly Kate - born at 33 weeks and going home 4 weeks later! Such sweet babies and such proud parents. It made the time I spent with them so nice - to see such gorgeous little babies and parents who were beaming with excitement.  After I left, they were one injection away from finally being able to take their first car ride and see their home. I am so proud to have been able to share this time with them today!

Michelle & Andrew - Expecting | {Birmingham, AL maternity photographer}

This couple is so excited to meet their daughter! Michelle is enjoying being pregnant, and her husband  is in love with the way she looks pregnant! In fact, the maternity pictures were his idea so he can remember how beautiful she was while carrying their baby. Too sweet!

I shot this session at Stephanie Fisher’s new natural light studio. It was the perfect location for a cold & overcast winter day. Thank you Stephanie!  If you haven’t checked out Stephanie’s work before, you should. She is wonderful!

February 7, 2010 - 8:30 pm Christy - Great work, Lori! Love the field!

Beautiful Lexi | {Birmingham, AL newborn photographer}

Two newborns this weekend is going to give me baby fever…  I think Lexi pushed me over the edge! It was something about her round cheeks that reminded me of my own daughter as a newborn.  She is absolutely beautiful! Needless to say, I fell in love with Lexi - and her family. We had a great time chatting while we waited for Lexi to drift back into a deep sleep.

5 days new | {Birmingham, AL newborn photographer}

Becket was such a strong and alert baby for a 5 day old.  He was very curious what I was doing and wanted to keep an eye on me at all times!

Isn’t he adorable? He weighed 6lbs and 4oz at birth, so I thought this would be a fun shot to try. Check out the weigh on the scale. If you can’t tell, it’s on his birth weight-

A fun look back | {Birmingham, AL baby photographer}

I thought it would be so fun to see what a difference a year makes! Here’s Claire today, at 1 year old, and then in the same spot, same bowl and blanket, a year ago when she was just 2 weeks old!

Linden is 6 months old already! |{Birmingham, AL baby photographer}

I loved this in-home session today! It was supposed to POUR down rain in Atlanta today, but luckily it didn’t seem to hurt the light.  These two sisters are gorgeous and such a pleasure to photograph.

Sweet Linden is 6 months old already. It seems like yesterday I was doing her newborn pictures! Look how big she is now and such a good little sitter!
