LORI MORGAN 

A little about me... I am a HUGE dog  lover and enjoy music, reading and inspirational quotes. I describe myself as a positive person. I always look for at the glass "half full" and when things don't turn out right I try to find the "bless in the mess!" I also love relaxing with a good cup of tea and a scented candle!  For my full time job I am a school counselor and prior to that was a special education Deaf/Hard of Hearing teacher. So I pride myself on being able to work easily with kids of all ages.  Speaking of kids, I have been married to my fabulous husband Roger for 29 years and am a mom of 4! These kiddos keep me running most days with their wide variety of activities.  My two oldest are 2020 and 2021 graduates so I know how busy a senior year can be! In addition to my kids, I love to spend time with my dogs. I am an animal lover and always welcome clients to include dogs in their photo shoots. We currently have 4 dogs. My family volunteers with Caninie Companions for Independence as puppy raisers. I also volunteer my photography services to them!  We currently are raising our second Canine Companions puppy, who we hope will end up matching as a service dog and helping to change someones life. Our first dog Felicity graduated in February 2023 as a service dog for a young college student.  I also have a Facility Dog from Canine Companions that comes to work with me daily to help me in my job as a counselor.  I am enjoy animal assisted therapy work and  did that for 23 years. Also for 15 years I volunteered at Akron Children's Hospital Doggie Brigade Program. In any free time I have I enjoy  working as a volunteer at a local hospice center and a local homeless hospice facility.  I also use my dogs to volunteer as a crisis counselor with the National Organization for Victim Assistance and the Ohio Crisis Response Team. I am passionate about heping others and giving back to make our world a better place!
