Welcome to Lora J. Photography's Blog

Thank you all for being patient with my blog posts.  I have been so busy these past couple of weeks.  The holiday season is among us all and it is almost over... It will soon be 2008!  There are new and exciting events to come for Lora J. Photography ~ so please stay posted on the newest developments. 

I would like to share with you a wonderful organization that I work with - Celebrating Adoption



Here is an excerpt from their webpage:

" Celebrating Adoption came into existence in early 2006.  I was asked to photograph a family as they prepared to start the adoption process.  One of the images from the session was to be used on the file given to prospective birth mothers.  As a strong believer in adoption, I was very touched by the love that this family had for each other and the hope they held to add another child to their family.   I wanted to celebrate with this family when they brought their new baby home so I offered a free session. 

It was a long road for this family with many tears shed as they waited for their child.  In the meantime, I was introduced to more adoptive families that wanted to include the art of professional portraiture in their celebration.  I have been blessed to photograph domestic adoptions, international adoptions, infants and older children.  With each family, the Celebrating Adoption concept formed in my mind.  Photographers from across the country asked to be part of the program, many of them adoptive parents themselves. 

Now, in 2007, we are truly a national organization of photographers wanting to donate their time to celebrate love...life...adoption.

Oh, and I am so happy to announce that that first family back in the beginning of 2006 brought home their new son, J, just a little before Christmas.  It was a wonderful moment for me to photograph their completed family."

What is a Celebrating Adoption session?

If you are an adoptive family and have adopted your child within the last year, you qualify for a Celebrating Adoption session.

You will receive a complimentary portrait session (session fee is waived) and a set of proofs. 

***Our volunteers give 100% of their time, talent and goods to do this work. Please do not abuse the organization by scheduling more than one photographer per child or adoption.

How do I schedule a session?

Please contact a participating photographer in your area to discuss scheduling and locations.  Each photographer schedules his or her own portrait sessions.  Because of the free nature of these sessions, many photographers will need to limit their Celebrating Adoption sessions per month, so call early to plan for your session.
