Pricing Packages

This is Your Story Family and Couples Package

This tale we will be creating is just a little snippet or glimpse into your life-families, kids, grads, babies, couples, engagement, elopement. These packages will produce 10 full resolution edited images sent to you in a beautiful digital gallery. You have access to download full resolution images and/or web-size for sharing. Packages are priced by the amount of people in the session, starting at $200.
Time of day- most of the year, it is sweaty hot here in central Florida, during the hotter months of about May to October/November, I prefer early morning start by 8:30am or hour before sunset as starting times. This changes with time of year of course. I will consider daytime sessions from late November to April- but lighting is optimal morning or evening. I do this to get the MOST out of your session. 

For families on vacation at the Central Florida theme parks, I am not available for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, or Hollywood Studios. I AM available for your resort, whether Disney or in the Disney area. For Universal Studios vacationers, there may be an added parking/resort fee of $50 on top of session fee. I believe they have limited parking at the resorts, so they charge a LOT to park there. At Universal Studios Florida, I am willing and happy to do your session at IOA or US, and Epic depending on how tickets work!

Locals- I love love love utilizing Lake Louisa State Park and Leu Gardens when possible. As long as there is a nature backdrop, even at a small local park , we can do your session! It is also fun to go to Winter Garden, downtown Clermont for more industrial style backdrop with bricks and lights and sidewalks. I am open to new places!

Travel fees are added if outside of the Central Florida area (Clermont being my central base). 

Packages require a 25% retainer fee due within 3 days of contract to secure the date. Balance due by day of session. At this time I take credit cards via this site, which can be paid here, Zelle, Venmo or with cash(balance ONLY). If paying with cash, please have in an envelope ready to go.

Prices Start from $200

Newborn-Lifestyle session in Your Home

In a small space in your home, the nursery, your bedroom or just a big cushy chair. Capture those wee newborn moments- even the messy ones, the uncomfortable- are beautiful! As a mother and now, grandmother, you will love that you have them captured to look back on. And no worries about having your home immaculate in your first week or two home with a new baby, that is insane to expect- we just need one room or space and can ignore all the rest!

Prices Start from $300

Speechless - thank you!
I am SO grateful to have found Lori! We wanted our first trip to Disney as a family of three captured. Lori is professional and extremely warm keeping us comfortable for our entire time together as if we knew her for years. And the photos we now have as simply stunning. This was such a a special treat and I cannot recommend Lori and Gathering Stories Photography enough!

Magical Senior Pictures
We had an amazing experience with Gathering Stories Photography for senior pictures at Disney. She was so knowledgeable about the best spots and how to work around the crowds. She was also incredibly easy to work with and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Plus, she was so friendly and upbeat, which made the session fun and stress-free. Highly recommend her for anyone wanting beautiful Disney senior photos!

You cant go wrong choosing Gathering Stories Photography !!! Lori was very accommodating to book an appointment with considering we had to coordinate our session around AAU Volleyball Nationals !! She went out of her way to make sure every detail from the best locations , lighting , and uniques ideas were on point !! Being a former cast member , she is very knowledgeable about the best locations to capture the perfect picture . My daughter’s Senior pics around Disney were great and Lori made it a lot of fun !! We will definitely use Gathering Stories for our next photo shoot !!!

Generational Photos were Magical
We had the absolute best experience with Lori for our family photos at Disney World! From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and full of Disney magic. She made our entire family—kids and adults alike—feel completely at ease, which really shows in the photos. Lori captured everything from the big iconic moments to the small, candid interactions that we’ll treasure forever. Her eye for lighting, timing, and genuine emotion is incredible. She somehow made a busy day at the Wilderness Cabins feel calm and joyful, and the photos reflect that perfectly. The final gallery was stunning—every image was vibrant, beautifully composed, and full of heart. Lori truly has a gift for storytelling through photography, and we are so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a special way. If you’re looking to capture your Disney experience with a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and downright magical—Lori is the one!

Excellent Photographer!
I absolutely love the maternity photos Lori took for my family. They are beautiful and I would recommend her to anyone. She was also great with my then 4 year old son and getting him to cooperate. Patient, kind and talented. Would use again for future photos!

Best family photographer!
Lori did my husband and I’s engagement photoshoot. I wanted a fall theme at a pumpkin patch, so she met us at a local patch in our town! She made the photoshoot so much fun and the photos came out perfect! Spooky, fally, and all natural🧡

Amazing to work with
We were surprised by my mom when my fiance proposed in Disney with an engagement photo session, we had a great time running around the park to get the perfect location and angle to capture. We loved our photos so much and will likely plan for another session next time we are is Disney💕
