Lori has always had a passion for photography, which began when she was a young child using an instamatic camera to take pictures of family. As a young adult, while stationed in Maine with U.S. Coast Guard, Lori purchased her first 35mm SLR camera, a Pentax K1000. During her time in Maine, she began photographing the beauty of the outdoors, sparking her journey into the world of nature photography. In the early 1990s, Lori entered her first photography competition which was held at the annual Lobster Festival in Rockland, Maine. She placed third in the scenic category with her picture of the Rockland Breakwater.
Lori eventually upgraded to Canon equipment. She continues to use Canon cameras today. While in college, Lori took a wildlife photography course, and it was through this course that her interest in wildlife photography blossomed.
