LORA CARR PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG bio picture

Welcome to the Lora Carr Photography Blog

Whether you've stumbled onto my blog by chance or arrived for a sneak peek, you are in for a treat. My blog is a fun place to take in a little bit of my world through my lens. Itty bitty newborns, chubby-cheeked toddlers, ready-to-pop pregnant bellies, little "big" kids, families and sometimes their dogs.

Beyond the smiles, you will also find a little something fun to read or discover as you (wink..wink) *waste* just a few more minutes on the internet before you go and do whatever productive thing you should be doing now.

With the Canon 5D Mark II and the camera on my iPhone, there is always something to capture. Great restaurants in the Philadelphia neighborhoods, mid-century modern furniture designs, fun places to take your kids, super duper etsy finds, or maybe some silly shots of my own kids and our dog. Sit back, relax, and subscribe to my RSS. Smile!

Lora Carr Photography + iPhone = Less boredom!

laughter is the best medicine | philadelphia child photographer

Just when the dreary weather and the short daylight hours of winter seem to have its grasp around you, along comes a 4-year old with the most infectious laugh. “Y” and his baby brother, “A” joined me in the studio for some smiles in front of the camera. It may be January outside, but “Y” had me doing my best physical comedy routine and his laughter filled the studio and made it feel more like a sunny day in June.  Take a peek at what we captured.
