This was my first maternity shoot/ photoshoot in general and I wanted something extremely special. They really caught my attention with the variety of digital backdrops and outfit changes. Once I inquired they contacted me immediately to go over offers and prices and it was a very informative. I loved everything was provided and included hair/makeup and to a wardrobe. They also offered a payment plan so wasn't all expected at once. My photographer I had was so sweet and made me very comfortable. She helped me with poses and capture my best angles. It was so much fun and I went from the first basic package to the 3rd because of how much I loved the photos which I am extremely picky. Everyone from start to finish was so helpful and made the process effortless and such a memorable special experience.

I have been going to Lori Dorman photography for the past 3 years. I did my first maternity shoot with them, my son's first birthday photo shoot/family shoot, and now, my second maternity shoot. I absolutely love Jazz and she's my go to photographer everytime! She always captures the vision I have and is so patience. Having a toddler and being pregnant is not easy, but they take alway the stress for the whole day! They have over 1,000 beautiful dresses, hair and make up is on site and snacks for their guests! The studio is beautiful and clean. Everytime we shoot, it feels like home. Michelle, always does the photo viewing and she just gets me. She knows exactly what I want and she is so honest! She makes choosing photos so easy! Thank you everyone

Seriously, one of my best decisions was booking a maternity session with Lori Dorman Photography 9 years ago. Since then they have beautifully documented all of my major milestones: my daughter's newborn shoot, our first home, my engagement, and now our wedding!
To say these ladies are incredible is an understatement! They go above and beyond to get the perfect picture including Donald Duck voices to get a kid's attentions, throwing themselves on the ground, or helping their clients get to the roof for a stunning LA skyline at sunset. They are kind, generous with their time, and make you feel like a princess.
I was fortunate to have 4 photographers at my wedding and have Sasha as my makeup artist. Sasha's style as an artist is to highlight and enhance while also keeping the client looking like themselves - her work is amazing! As soon as the team walked on-site they were making flat lays, scouting for locations, taking group shots, and knew exactly when and where to be to keep the wedding on track. I am beyond excited to see my photos and have full trust that they will capture all of the joy, sparkle, and magic of this momentous day for my family and friends.
Thank you to my LDP family! I absolutely love you guys and will see you at our next shoot!

I recently worked with Lori Dorman photography company for family and mommy & me portraits with my daughter. This is a professional studio with true experts who assist at each step of the process. From Michelle who walked us through scheduling and booking, to the talented hair and makeup artist, and I can't say enough about our photographer Drea! She was patient, fun, artistic, and just put us all at ease in front of the camera.
They work out of a beautiful studio in downtown LA with plenty of and make you feel your best throughout the entire shoot. Our photos reflected the experienced talent of this studio and although it was tough narrowing down our selections, Michelle guided us through what could have been an overwhelming process and we are so happy with the results!

When we ended up pregnant with our surprise baby, I knew who I would call to capture these newborn days. That's because 12 years ago I had them capture my maternity and newborn shots with my firstborn. The experience was everything I had hoped for and more! We opted to shoot in the studio to avoid the chaos and mess of home, and so I could get pampered with hair and makeup which was a nice addition. The studio is easy to find and parking is convenient. The studio is spacious with private dressing rooms to relax in. There is also ample room for families to get comfortable between set ups. Melinna, our photographer was nothing short of amazing, along with her assistant that day. They were patient, kind and stayed well past the time we thought we would be done to make sure we got some great shots. She really captured some beautiful moments of all of us as a family, and some super cute baby only ones too!
Michelle was amazing also. With so many great photos and packages to choose from, she really helped us nail down the ones that would work best for our album.
Thank you Lori Dorman Photography for making this day a special one and freezing those newborn days in time for us.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lori Dorman & Co Photography for 1 maternity session and 4 newborn shoots. Newborn photos are among the few things I truly splurge on in life and their work is absolutely worth it. The quality is exceptional, and the entire team goes above and beyond to create an incredible experience. Melinna, in particular, is a true baby whisperer with an amazing eye for capturing beautiful, timeless images.

Sasha did an amazing job with hair and makeup.
Jazz and Andrea made the photoshoot experience very fun and comfortable at all times. I had the chance to incorporate my husband and daughter into this beautiful moment that we will forever be able to look back at. Michelle was very patient and suuuuuper helpful choosing our final pictures. The overall experience was 10/10.

We had such a wonderful experience with our maternity shoot! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly easy to work with when it came to scheduling and planning. Communication was smooth, everything was clearly outlined, and the entire process felt organized and stress-free.
On the day of the shoot, our photographer and assistant were fantastic. They were patient, warm, and especially great with my three kids and my husband -- two of whom were not exactly thrilled about taking photos. They were also very accommodating and flexible throughout the session.
I was initially hesitant about having to select our photos during Zoom sessions, but that process ended up being smooth. Their staff was patient, walked me through everything, and gave me the time I needed to make decisions without feeling rushed or pressured.
One of my favorite parts of the experience was that hair, makeup, and wardrobe for me and my daughter were included in the pricing. It made logistics so much easier and allowed me to simply show up and enjoy the day without having to coordinate that aspect of the shoot. I also really appreciated their ability to customize the editing to fit client preferences.
Overall, such a seamless and positive experience -- I'm so grateful we chose them to capture this special time for our family!

This is my third photoshoot with LDP, 1 maternity and 2 newborn, and there's many reasons I keep coming back. Everything from makeup/hair, outfit/gown selections, shoot, and photo selection runs smooth and really eases a pregnant/postpartum mamas mind. Melinna and Jasmin are excellent photographers. They provided great direction to me and my family, taking time to set up each shot and paying great attention to detail. They did this while also keeping my 4 yo son entertained, catching some excellent shots while doing so. The photo selection process is so hard because literally, almost every photo is perfect, but Michelle really helps you narrow down your selection during the editing process which the final edits are always so amazing. I have enjoyed each one of my experiences with these ladies and highly recommend LDP to all.
