Harry Styles. One Direction. Lord Huron. Greta Van Fleet. 70's & 80's music (ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, you know the vibes.)

Lens
I live and breathe for the aesthetics of life. The beauty in the details; the feeling behind it all. The unspoken moments. I am double-Libra and an INFP, after all.
Born in Santa Cruz CA, I picked up a camera at age 10 and never put it down. My love of photography stemmed from the desire to create something beautiful out of the ordinary and express myself in a way that didn't require speaking. I have always been drawn towards the bittersweetness of life, the things, places and moments that make you feel deeply, whether it's a line from a book, an incredibly stunning landscape, the way the light filters through the trees, or a song that reverberates through your soul. I'm a highly sensitive observer, finding beauty in the smallest of details.
I've always believed in the power of storytelling. As a child, I would create an entirely imagined story with characters, plot, and conflict, out of whatever objects I could find. Eventually this evolved into a love for writing stories. As a writer, I have always thought photography and the written word go hand in hand.
My work is grounded in documentary-style and storytelling photography, capturing natural movements and connections that evoke emotion. I believe in the beauty of imperfection and the magic that comes when we allow ourselves to be truly seen.
hi there, i'm Lorraine
telling stories with my lens
Outside of the lens: You can usually find me getting cozy with a book, writing, drinking matcha, dancing, listening to Harry Styles or a podcast, hanging out with my wonderful fiancé Kyle, and adoring animals (especially my cat, Nudge). I love all things green, sage green especially. I'm a multi-faceted creative, but storytelling- whether it’s with my keyboard or with my camera- is where my passion lies.
I am booking sessions and making bigger moves than ever.

How I Got Here:
I want to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and fully yourself. Whether you have a clear vision or just a feeling you want to capture, I’m here to help bring it to life. This is your story—I’m just here to document it with care, creativity, and heart.

My main goal:
Lorraine is absolutely such a welcoming person and created such a safe/happy environment during my fiancé and I's first photoshoot together! Our photos came out dreamy and so romantic, capturing our love. So thankful for Lorraine!
- Anelisse & Martín engagement 2024
"If you're looking for a photographer that truly captures warmth and love, you found her!!"
She went above and beyond in communicating with me before the engagement and is always so friendly and helpful. You can tell that she is passionate about her work, which is reflected in the pictures she takes! The pictures will always be quite special to us. Lorraine did a wonderful job capturing the truest feelings of the moment and her photography will always invoke the joy we felt on that day!

"Working with Lorraine has been a wonderful experience!"
She took our graduation photos and not only were they beautiful, but they captured our vision perfectly. It was our first photoshoot and Lorraine made it such a comfortable environment and was very helpful with directing us. Could not recommend her more!
