A Belated WELCOME!

So it seems as though we sort of started our blog kind of abruptly, with no rhyme, reason or introduction. I hereby take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you who Mike+Lora is.

Just a few facts about us:

Michael Livingston + Lora Rodgers are professional photographers who are based out of Orlando, FL and Savannah, GA. Both Mike+Lora graduated with Bachelors of Film and Media degrees from Full Sail University. They met each other while in school and it was then that they decided to start a company that specialized in bringing beautiful high quality photos to all of its clients. Today Mike+Lora Photography specializes in their own brand of "lifestyle photography". We capture people in the times of their life that matter most. Whether it be your wedding, senior pictures, engagement, band photos, or simply portrait photography Mike+Lora's brand of "lifestyle photography" is there to capture a beautiful naturalistic look that you'll love.

* I like to make short films, and music videos
* When I first met Lora, I wrote her a story about football hooligans for our creative writing class. She pretended to like it and that was the beginning of that...

Abigail

Last week we were privileged enough to give 2 month old Abigail Parker her very first photo shoot. And what a lil model she was! We took Yanet's pregnancy pix with her hubby, Dan back in April so it was lovely to see them again this time with a beautiful new addition to their family. Mikey captured some great behind the scenes footage while we were there too so make sure you check that out at the end of the pictures!
