Reach out for your family, maternity, newborn or beach session today!

Welcome to Moonbeam Photography! I’m Lori Suggs, the photographer behind the camera at Moonbeam Photography. I have been passionate about photography for many years. Specializing in both studio and on‑location photography, I adore capturing the beauty and joy of family and newborn moments. You get a full range of services at Moonbeam, starting from maternity and newborn sessions to family portraits, beach‑side shoots, holiday minis, and more. Every session is handled personally by me to ensure a relaxed, natural experience and results you’ll cherish forever.
After your session, you’ll receive a professionally edited gallery with painterly‑style edits, like colour correction, skin‑tone enhancements, and fine retouching. Typically, portrait session galleries are ready for your review within 1–2 weeks, so you won’t wait long to see your memories come alive.

Photography has always been more than just a profession for me; it’s a way to build lifelong relationships with the wonderful families I meet. I have a special fondness for family and newborn photography because it allows me to witness and document the precious, fleeting moments that make life so beautiful.

Having raised my own children and now being blessed with grandchildren, I have a natural rapport with little ones. As a mother of two special needs children, I understand that every child is unique and that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work. I know some children may not handle noise well, while others may struggle to sit still
Having raised my own children and now being blessed with grandchildren, I have a natural rapport with little ones. As a mother of two special needs children, I understand that every child is unique and that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t work. I know some children may not handle noise well, while others may struggle to sit still for extended periods. My experience has given me the patience and understanding to work with these hurdles, ensuring that every session is a success. I embrace the challenges and adapt to meet the needs of each child, creating a comfortable and supportive environment.

Some say that I am “loud,” and I embrace it!:) My vibrant personality helps me engage with children, keeping them enthused and interested throughout our sessions. This energy not only makes the sessions fun but also helps in capturing genuine smiles and candid moments.

One of the greatest joys of my work is forming lasting relationships with the families I photograph. Many families return year after year, and some even multiple times a year, to document their growing families. It’s an honor to be part of their journey, capturing the milestones and moments that they will treasure forever. These families are not only clients but also become my friends.
