Here are some of my favorite images from the Frill Prom Preview 2012.  Now all of you can relive this amazing evening.  The girls were so beautiful and full of energy!  What a wonderful show!

I am often asked about the Lori Grice “difference.”  Many of you, who have never given me the opportunity to photograph you or your family tell me how my images look different.  You love my “look” and know they are different – but you really don’t understand the complete difference.

Nearly two decades ago, I decided to take my difference to another level – as a reward for my clients.  I have heard the horror stories about standing in line for hours to see Santa – only to have your child freak out and not get one usable image.  DeWayne often shares his memories of standing in line outside (in the bitterly cold weather) of the local Sears store in Claxton to see Santa.  His first picture of Santa – does not include Santa at all.  In fact – the only lap he would sit in was his mothers.

This is how we began creating the perfect Santa experience at our studio.  Every year this event sells out.  We open it to existing clients – many of whom book a year in advance.  I have tried to explain this experience – but have never done it justice.  This year, Reagan Daly booked a session for her son and wrote an incredible account of her experience with Santa.  Reagan is the editor of Moments Magazine a publication of the Statesboro Herald.  With Reagan’s permission – we are sharing her article her for you.  I would like to thank Reagan for spending time with us and giving us the opportunity to photograph her and her son.

This is an amazing event and one of our most popular.  Call 912-764-7274 or email us at info@lorigrice.com to reserve a Santa session.

The Statesboro Herald published the list of the Best Businesses in the Boro today.  Lori is thrilled to be named the Best Photographer in the Boro again this year – thanks to you!  Not only do you agree that she is the best – you took your time to go online and vote for Lori and for that we are grateful!

Lori continues to win awards among her peers, other Master Photographers, in juried competitions throughout the country.  This helps validate Lori’s work as being the best of the best – among her photographer peers.  However, nothing is more humbling than to be recogonized among your friends and customers as the Best. 

The award is even more special this year to us, because of the explosion of people who have entered the photography business this past year.  It seems that everyone is a professional photographer today.  Even with all of these options you still recogonized Lori as the Best.

Lori, Edie Grace, our staff and I thank you for making the effort to select Lori again as the Best.

For those of you who have not experienced the “Lori Grice Difference” we hope you will book a session soon and give us the opportunity to win you over also.

It is my favorite time of the year – Fair Time!  What a wonderful tradition that is celebrating it’s 50th year in our community – thanks to the Statesboro Kiwanis Club.  On your way to the Midway and of course the famous Pancakes and Sausages – check out our booth.  You may recognize yourself or a friend there! 

We are launching our new Five Times in a Lifetime campaign at the Fair.  EVERYONE is a photographer these days.  I assume you know at least ten friends who are moonlighting as photographers.  We wish them all well and understand how hard it is to tell your neighbor, relative or close friend – NO!  Especially when they are working you over to be their newest photography client.

However, there are FIVE times in a Lifetime that you really should not experiment with semi-pro or hobbyist – moonlighting photographers.

This includes:

1. Your Baby’s First Year – Expecting, Birth, newborn, three month, six month, nine month and one year are portraits you will never be able to recreate.  There will be no other year of your child’s life that they will develop and change more than this precious first year. Choose me for one or all of these and you will be so glad you did!
2. Five year Portrait – this is a critical portrait – documenting your child’s sweet and tender stage – before they begin their physical changes into childhood.  We prefer to do this before they loose their first tooth.
3. Senior Portrait – this is a defining portrait session.  This session is your child’s opportunity to express their individuality in the most special time of their life. It is their last opportunity to express who they are as an individual through portraits.
4. Bridal Portrait and Wedding Photography – Every year, on our anniversary we love to go back through our wedding album and see how much we have all changed!  It allows us to relive one of the most wonderful days of our life. At the very least, choose me to create a Bridal Portrait that will remind you and share the emotion and joy of this incredible day for the rest of your life.
5. Generational Legacy Portrait – This is the portrait of your entire family that will become the centerpiece of your home.  It is what you are most proud of – your family.  It is the portrait that captures this wonderful moment in time and shares your incredible legacy for generations to enjoy.
