Film Photography with Terry Clark

This month we chat with photographer Lori Nordstrom. In our discussion, Lori shares how she grew her business stronger than ever during the pandemic, and how she continues to grow it. She discusses great ways to stay in touch with your clients, why it's vital to understand your clients, and why we should all be serving our clients.  Get ready to be inspired!

Lori is a Certified Professional Photographer, an accredited Master Photographer and Photographic Craftsman, and is a member of Professional Photographers of America. She  began in photography like many do… photographing her kids! She loved shooting in black and white as often as she could, and soon began experimenting with different papers and mediums for hand-painting the black and white images. She fell in love with this style, and it's still something she's known for today, over 20 years later.
