Gathering Stories Photography by LWI,llc

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!

We have used Lori 2 years in a row when visiting from Pennsylvania. She is very sweet and takes the time to get to know you and capture your image perfectly!

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 !!!

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!

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!

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🧡

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💕
