Lori’s nature photographs have caught the attention of the conservation community. Her photos capturing the beauty and diversity of wildlife contained in the Black Crown Marsh in McHenry are now being used to help in fund-raising efforts by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the preservation of the entire wetland basin. A photo of the Black Crown Marsh “Geese Rising with the Sun” was chosen by the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission for inclusion in an exhibit “Illinois’ Natural Treasures” in 2010. Her nature photographs serve as a resource for her watercolors.
