High School Seniors have been getting their proofs back from the school photographers and they want something more creative.  We have LOWERED our Senior packages to match most of the introductory packages from the school photographers.  For the price of what everyone else is paying – you can get WORLD CLASS Creativity!  Lori’s senior portraits ROCK!  They are personalized, creative and FUN!

Do NOT settle for the same old pictures that everyone else is getting when you can have Lori Grice for the same price or LESS!

Remember, the school photographers can NOT make you purchase any pictures from them.  At most schools for now – you will be required to take pictures with them for use in the yearbook only.  In many states now – the school contract photographers can not make you use their pictures.  Many of the schools in our area have adopted that policy and the larger schools are getting a lot of pressure to change their policy.

In the interim – know that you can have the best…for less.

Tonight, 18 beautiful girls hand-picked by Scott Marchbanks, THE authority on the latest fashions in Prom Dresses and owner of Frills by Scott – performed to a full-house – standing room only theater.   The Averitt Center for the Arts was the venue and the event featured all the hottest, hippest designers of Prom dress designs all featured at Frills By Scotts in Downtown Statesboro.

We were thrilled to partner with Scott and Frills in tonight’s event.  It was a huge success.  Here is the video we featured during the finale.

It seems like yesterday we received the birth announcement from John’s mom and dad sharing with us the wonderful news that he had arrived.  Now, in the blink of an eye, he is a SENIOR!  I have enjoyed photographing John and his sister Maddie through the years.    This session was shot at his home doing what he does best.  Enjoy the video:

  SENIOR…what???  How can that be???  I first photographed Emily when she was only two or so.  Boy, time flies!  I am STUNNED at how beautiful she is.  I always count it a blessing to stay in families’ lives throughout my career.  To get to record your history through images…what a blessing indeed.

We had such a good time creating images and playing with Stella, the kitten.  Stella was as good of a model as Emily was!  Even outside! 

Emily plans to attend GSU then hopes to transfer to SCAD-Atlanta.  One of my favorite stores, West Elm, highlights SCAD-Atlanta student’s work.  I bet I’ll see Emily showcased there one day!

I am amused from time to time as other photographers brag about photographing a "celebrity".  When I see this it is a great reality check for me.  Photographing famous people is an everyday encounter for me.  I think if your not famous before I photograph you - you certainly will be afterwards.  Especially if your featured on my blog or web site!  Clients tell me all the time they can not believe how many people saw their portrait in my window here in Statesboro or in the Savannah Mall, or on my website and blog.  It really makes you feel special when someone stops you and tells you that they saw you on or in a Lori Grice product.  I guess I should do a better job of  pointing out my "celebrity" clients - but just assume if I don’t make a point to tell who they are - that if they have selected me as their portrait photographer either they are somebody special or soon will be!  Ok enough of that.  You definitely would recognize Emily’s Dad…he is a local celebrity.  You can catch him every night on WTOC channel 11 in Savannah.  We are almost as proud of him as we are Emily.

  Some sessions are much more difficult than others.  For the next few weeks I am working on  a project that requires - no, demands -  that I photograph VERY good looking young men.  I have been shooting a good bit at Tybee and downtown Savannah the last couple of weeks.  My last model for this project was C BUZZ.  I am not sure what that means - hopefully it is not too risque.  He was a lot of fun and, believe it or not, surprisingly shy.   He certainly attracts attention -  especially shirtless - even on the beach.  But I will let you judge for yourself.  I have hand picked an interesting group of guys for this project.  Just think Christmas Present for you and every lady on your Christmas list.  I predict even your great grandmother will enjoy this gift! 

I know it is a very difficult job - but someone must do it - right?  

This handsome young man’s grandmother began a wonderful tradition with her first grandchild.  Little did she know at the time that the grandchildren would keep on coming.  Of course we LOVE that!  Often you hear the 16 year portrait referred to as the “sweet 16″ portrait.  Well, you know how I hate gender stereo-types.  Joel and I came up with “XVI” for guys.  I think that works! 

I have photographed him since he was two.  That really makes me feel old.

  Ellie is a senior at the Charter Conservatory school in Statesboro.  She loves her horse as you can tell.  Does this look like the cover of a magazine or what?  We spent a great afternoon with Ellie at Evermore Farms where she stables her horse and the images are phenomenal.  Ellie is very creative and wanted something less traditional, but classy to announce her graduation.  This is her actual graduation invitation.  Pretty cool, huh?   

Seniors and their parents choose me as their senior photographer because they are uniquely different from their peers.  They deserve more than the cookie cutter photographs captured by the school photographers.  They have accomplished great things and have worked hard to prepare for the next adventure - COLLEGE!  They demand that as their artist - that I take the time to learn more about them and tell their story through portraits as uniquely different as each of them are.

I have been doing this successfully for years.  However, my clients have been forced to conform to announcing their achievement in graduating in the same old cookie cutter way that ALL of their classmates have.  In fact, not much has changed with traditional graduation invitations since I graduated from high school.  Come to think of it - not much has changed since my parents graduated from high school.

Last year we said enough - and introduced options as creative as the seniors I am blessed to photograph.  The end result has been staggering.  This “LORI GRICE DIFFERENCE” has been so out of the box that it has created a buzz around the schools that has even stunned me.

Well, leave it to me to push the envelope.  2009 Seniors will have even more unique and creative options.  I do limit greatly the number of seniors I work with so I can insure creative difference for each senior.  Sign up NOW if you would like to be included as a 2009 Lori Grice Senior.

I photographed Ellie’s sisters’ senior portraits a few years ago and she shared the creative edge that Ellie does.  They are so much fun to work with.  I feel we did a great job in capturing who she is as she steps over yet another great milestone.

Congratulations Ellie!

Kristen is graduating as a home school student.  It is interesting how many of our clients and friends are choosing the home school route these days.  With the advances in technology like the Internet - this is a much more viable option.  Kristen and I had a blast creating these beautiful portraits which tell her story.  She is smart, beautiful and lots of fun and I think it shows through these portraits. 

Congratulations Kristen!
