Your Story,
Captured as Art

The most meaningful moments in life deserve more than snapshots —
they deserve to be transformed into timeless artwork.
At Lori Dorman & Co, we create luxury fine art portraits that celebrate modern motherhood, femininity, and family through editorial artistry and custom-designed experiences. Every image is thoughtfully crafted to feel timeless, personal, and uniquely reflective of the people within it.
Whether celebrating a growing family, welcoming a new baby, documenting meaningful milestones, building your personal brand, or embracing your own story through boudoir portraiture, every LDP session is thoughtfully designed to create artwork that is as personal as it is beautiful.
From our Los Angeles studio to in-home and destination sessions, each experience is individually crafted using our exclusive collection of couture wardrobe, heirloom furnishings, specialty props, and custom styling elements curated over more than 15 years. Combined with professional hair and makeup, expert posing guidance, and personalized creative direction, every session is designed from the ground up to create artwork as individual as your story.
For more than 15 years, families throughout Southern California have trusted LDP to create refined portrait artwork that celebrates motherhood, femininity, connection, and every chapter worth remembering.
Welcome to the LDP experience.

POSING GUIDANCE

No Modeling Experience Required

From the way you stand to where you place your hands, our photographers are trained to create flattering, natural-looking portraits for every body type, age, and comfort level. All you have to do is show up and trust the process!

The Process

STEP 01

Set the date!

We recommend reserving your session as early as possible to ensure availability & plenty of time for planning!
Maternity | 30-36 weeks
Newborn | 8-14 after birth
Sitter | 6-8 months (when baby is sitting independently)
Cakesmash | around 11 months
Boudoir | 6 weeks prior to special occasion
Holiday | September & October
Family | Anytime of year!!!

STEP 02

Mood Board

Once your session is reserved, we’ll begin planning every detail – from setups and locations, to styling and wardrobe guidance, to hair & makeup – so you can enjoy a seamless, fully guided experience from start to finish.
Upon booking you’ll have access to our online collection for you to “favorite” your inspo, preferred wardrobe, and setups. Together, you and your photographer will use this mood board to design a session that feels authentically you.

STEP 03

Consultation

After booking, you’ll receive your photographer’s direct contact information and have her support throughout the planning process. About one week before your session, she will connect with you to finalize wardrobe selections, discuss your vision, and prepare every detail for your portrait experience.
A few days before your session, your hair & makeup artist will also reach out to confirm your preferences and answer any last-minute questions.
YES, eyelashes are included! We got you girl!

STEP 04

PhotoShoot Day!

The day is finally here!
Your experience begins with professional hair & makeup, sit back and relax! From there, settle into your private dressing room. Enjoy a fully guided experience complete with your favorite music and complimentary refreshments.
Your dedicated assistant will be there every step of the way – helping with wardrobe changes, perfecting the little details, soothing babies, and wrangling little ones so you can focus on being present in the moment.
Expect lots of encouragement, a little pampering, and plenty of laughter. No rushing. No pressure. Just beautiful moments and a team there to make you feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.

STEP 05

Photo Reveal

About two weeks after your session, you’ll have a virtual photo viewing with our professional photo selector. This is the moment your images come to life!
She will guide you through curated samples of your beautifully edited images, along with the unedited best shots of the day. Together, you’ll narrow everything down to your absolute favorites – don’t worry, this is one of the most exciting parts of the experience! She will also take detailed notes on specific editing requests, assist with album design, and help you finalize your photo collection.

STEP 06

Gallery Delivery

Once your images have been perfected, you’ll receive access to your private online gallery and digital files. Your custom albums and artwork will then be carefully crafted and delivered, transforming your favorite moments into tangible keepsakes designed to be enjoyed for generations.
Long after the session is over, you’ll be able to hold these memories in your hands, see them displayed throughout your home, and revisit this beautiful chapter of your story whenever you wish.

The fourth trimester is basically:

Sniffing your baby’s head 47 times a day 👶

Wondering if you’ll ever sleep again 😴

Reheating the same cup of coffee ☕️ 

Crying because they yawned, smiled or grabbed your finger 🥹

Googling for the 4,728,561 time “is this normal?” 🤷‍♀️

It’s exhausting.
It’s overwhelming.

And yet so blissfully magical you’ll want to remember it always 🩵🩵🩵 

Book a Newborn Session, you won’t regret it. 

P.S. Hair & makeup is always included. Sleep deprivation may be unavoidable… looking sleep deprived isn’t. 😉

Fatherhood isn’t measured in grand gestures.

It’s measured in piggyback rides.
Bedtime stories.
School drop-offs.
Inside jokes.
Patient answers.
And being the person they know they can always count on.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads doing the important work that often goes unnoticed. 🤍

To the women growing life, holding families together, loving endlessly, and somehow still forgetting to give themselves the same softness they give everyone else… this is your reminder 🤍

You are already magic.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the mamas and mamas-to-be ✨
