Hi, I'm Lori with Appear Photography in Birmingham, Alabama. I've been a photographer for over 15 years. My love for photography began as a hobby when I was in high school. After earning a degree in fine art photography I started out photographing anything and everything I could get my hands on. Over the years I've had the opportunity to hone in on what I'm most passionate about photographing, which is newborns and children. I'm often asked, "Do you like to photograph newborns because it's easy?" I know that it may look easy, but newborn photography can be extremely challenging. I remember in 2014 when I really began diving into newborn photography, I became so completely overwhelmed with each shoot I did that I came to a major crossroads in my career. I knew I either had to push myself forward, figure out what I was doing as I went along and invest in all the equipment and props I needed to do it properly or I had to go the other way and specialize in something else that might be "easier." Well, my passion for newborn photography won out and with each photo session I did, I learned something new. Still to this day, I'm learning and growing as a photographer. Below, I'm featuring highlights from one of my favorite recent sessions. To see more of my work, click here.
