“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”  -Robert Brault

I am always amazed when the newborn that I photographed  6 months ago returns to the studio sitting up..giggling and has a personality all of it’s own.  They grow up so very quickly.  Embrace those sleepless nights, cuddle them as much as you possibly can and smile at every precious moment for those are the big things.  You will look back years from now and be shocked at how fast the time flew by.

Thank you so very much for bringing your precious daughter into the studio.  It was so nice meeting all of you!!!

Michigan senior portrait photography

“I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.”

It’s hard to believe that the graduating class of 2012 will begin classes tomorrow morning!!!  Where did the summer go?   What a wonderful senior photo shoot with such a beautiful, intelligent young woman.  It was truly a pleasure meeting you.

For those that have not had their yearbook photos taken or have put off the entire senior photo shoot.  Appointments are available.  The wonderful Kat Foley and I have teamed up and created a senior portrait studio in Saline.  I shoot the studio photos and she shoots the outdoor.  It’s a perfect team…and we have soooo much fun!!!!

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.  ~Wallace Stevens

The time has come.  The time when we are all back on  life schedules…waking for the kids school, sports practice, holiday shopping, homework, busy work season, cold Michigan winter weather.  Before we get to that point let us ENJOY the last week of summer!!  Hug your kids a few more times each day, sit by your garden and look past the weeds and just enjoy , try that BBQ recipe you have been putting off all summer, sit out back with your love of your life and enjoy a drink, build one last campfire, try a S’more with a Reese’s cup instead of a Hershey’s bar…try your very best to not get caught up in all the mad school shopping mad rush…ENJOY this week for it will go by way too quickly!  Lots of Love.  - Lorissa

Smiling…my summer.  I love the fort made of sandy beach towels and chairs.

Looking at these images reminds me of the beautiful days I had in Costa Rica.  The hikes in the rainforest, watching the surf, walking along the streets taking in the sounds and smells.

Take the colors in and enjoy!

These crocodiles are amazing!  This was taken with a 50mm.  I was pretty darn close to him.  I remember the friend I was with said don’t lean your camera to close or he might turn and snap…and he meant it. WOW

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.  It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

I was talking with a dear friend last night about life and that no matter how bad we think it is….it’s relative…it could be worse!  Here I sit…I am behind on edits, my car is having major issues, my garage floods with every rain, I am recovering from a broken heart, my dog has fleas, I miss my kids and I shake my head wondering why some people make the choices they make in life.  Saying that I stand back and realize how many blessings I do have….the laughter with friends, watching my boys create weapons out of legos, dancing with my daughter, fighting for what I believe in and NEVER giving up in the belief that there are more good than bad people in the world.

When I stand behind my camera the broken heart, the fleas, the car repairs…etc….fade away.  I can honestly say that photographing all my wonderful clients places things into perspective.  THANK YOU……and I may be behind on edits…and orders…and phone calls….but I am catching up!

Enjoy the photos….a mix of moments behind my camera.
