Welcome to the new home of Lori Hedrick Photography!!!

So, it’s my birthday today and i am typing this blog entry while sitting in my new .. wait for it …

STUDIO!!!!

I really can’t believe I’m here!  Since the official start of my business, almost 4 years ago, I have hoped and dreamed that one day I would move out of the tiny cramped corner in my basement into something I could call my own.  Time has crawled and time has flown and now I find myself in a brand new place and ready to grow even more!   This move is important on so many levels, personal and business.  For my family, it means that when I am home, I’m really home.  Not just there but off in the corner on the computer.  It’s a way for me to separate business and life.  The line between laundry and photos, phone calls and dinner, packages and clutter had become way too blurry!  For business, this means that I now have a place to meet and chat.  A place to walk you through your photos and help you choose the best ones.  A place to show samples and get your creative juices flowing with ideas for decorating your home with beautiful photos!  A place to meet with brides and grooms without the noise and chaos of the local coffee shop (but with the coffee of course!).  I’m so very excited for this new adventure and can’t wait to see where it takes me!  If you’ve been following my FaceBook page, you’ll know that I’ve been dropping hints for the past few days!  So keep scrolling and see if you recognize any photos from the sneak peeks!

There’s still a lot to be done.  Pictures need to be hung, a few pieces of furniture are on the way, and I searching for the perfect curtains.  But for having just moved in on Tuesday, I’m thrilled with everything!!!

Welcome!

I’ll share more photos as things come together and I’ll even do a photo tour so you’ll know exactly how to find me!  Thanks for all the love and support of my family and friends!

Some things are universal…

Totally random but I loved it!

Destination : Disney!!!

We are headed to Disney for a week! The kids are super excited and so are we! I won’t be answering emails or phone calls during our vacation. Feel free to leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as we get back.

I can’t wait to take some awesome pictures and have a blast with my kids!

Have a great week and take a look at these amazing photographs taken for Disney by the amazing Annie Leibovitz!

New Blog!!!!!

I am so excited to announce the launch of my new blog!!! The new template really blends with my branding and allows me to showcase some wonderfully large images! Because many of you like to go back and look at previous entries, I imported all the old posts. All the link work as well as the slideshows so click away! I’m very pleased with this next step in my business and many thanks to all who support me with their love and prayers! A big thanks to Jared for designing and installing the template! He’s been great to work with! To kick it off, I’m posting 2 of my most favorite images from last year! These are amazing.

Virginia Women’s Show

*** I apparently wrote this post sometime last week and then forgot to put it up!  Sometimes I don’t know where my brain is!*** 

This past weekend I was excited to participate in the Virginia Women’s Show!  It meant a lot of preparation in a very short amount of time, but with the help of my wonderful friend Lisa, we pulled it off.  In the rush and chaos, I completely forgot the camera!!!  I am kicking myself!  I wanted to share my booth but also wanted to document the process so I would know what to change or keep the same the next time!  Oh well!  

It was a great day with lots of women and lots of things that interest women!  With around 4,000 women over the course of the day, we were busy!  Lisa and I looked at our watches about 2:30 and were amazed that the day had just flown by! 

I am excited to say that I have a winner for the free album contest!  I mixed up the bowl good and then had my husband draw the name!  I can’t announce it yet as I must get in touch with them first, but when I do, I’ll make another post!  I can’t wait to do the session and then design the album!  I love doing albums!  I need to get some pictures of the albums I have done up here for all to see!  They are really amazing and a very different way to display your pictures! 

 That’s all for now, keep looking back for a wonderful session from just after Christmas with a family that came together over the holidays for the first time in over 10 years!  It was a joy!

Blessings!
