Our relationship is a partnership, not a briefing transaction.
Lori goes beyond the requested development and brings her ideas and vision to the table in all we do, whether it's photography, styling, website design, or other collateral.
Your website should feel as trustworthy as your practise
real. authentic. you.
Your work makes a real difference. Your online presence should reflect the care, expertise, and heart you bring to your clients.
Let's Make that Happen
What We Do
We help heart-led practitioners shine online.
Lola Media creates photography, brand design, and websites for health and wellness practitioners and coaches who want to be seen as warm, trusted and real.
We blend strategy, story and soul to craft brands that feel like you — and work beautifully online.
Real. Warm. Human.
You're doing the work. But your brand doesn't show it.
Your photos don't look like your practice
Maybe it's the five-year-old headshot. Maybe it's a stock photo of someone else laughing over a salad. Or products or services you sell in clinic that aren't even on your website. Either way, it's not you or your work anymore and you hope people won't notice. But they do — and it affects their view of your practise and how likely they are to refer you.
Your brand happened by accident
A template here, a font a designer friend picked, a colour that was popular at the time. Nothing quite matches anymore. None of it feels like you, nor do you know why any of it matters or even if it makes a difference. The whole system lacks strategy and you don't feel confident promoting your business.
Your website doesn't book anyone
You built it yourself, or paid someone once and never touched it again. It's live. It's just not working or adding value. And every time you scroll and see another practitioner with a brand that looks effortless, it's tempting to think they have something you don't. They usually just found the right team sooner.
I'm Lori
I've been on both sides of the table
For two decades I've built brands, photographed the people behind them, and made the websites that hold it all together. My oldest client has been with me since 2002, my very first. Through every industry and country since, one thing hasn't changed: I'm a creative and an empath. I sense what a client needs before they can put it into words, and that's what makes the work feel easy.
One client once told me, "Lori, I don't know what I don't know. That's why I have you, to tell me what I need to know." Following that thread, I trained as a Reiki Master, and opened my own part-time wellness practice.
This means when I build your brand, I'm not guessing what your clients need to feel before they'll book. I've been the client. I've been the practitioner. Now I specialise in building the online homes for people doing the same work I do.
Here's the truth
When your online presence is unclear, good clients scroll past.
You attract the wrong clients
Fewer enquiries and bookings
Lower perceived value and pricing
Burnout from doing it all yourself
Your message gets lost in a crowded market
DIY visuals and websites undervalue your work
You're brilliant in person. You feel invisible on the internet.
You're the expert in the room
We translate that into a brand and online experience that feels like you
So you can attract more ideal clients and charge more
Build a brand that feels like you
One partner (us). One brand (yours). A cohesive presence.
Lola Media brings together strategic branding, intentional photography, and custom website design and development so your entire online presence works as one — and feels like you.
We pull out the real, authentic you. If you're ready to be seen, trusted and remembered, let's explore working together.
All in one, beautifully aligned.
Four steps to a brand you're proud to send people to
Getting seen online shouldn't mean juggling multiple vendors and hoping it all matches. Here's how we take you from first call to a brand that finally feels like you, and keep it growing from there.
-
Book a consult
We map your story, your ideal client, and where your current brand is losing trust.
-
Strategy
Before we build anything, we map out the plan, your message, your ideal client, and how it all fits together. So every photo, word, and page has a job to do.
-
Build & Launch
One team creates your photography, brand identity, and website together, so nothing feels bolted on. You go live with a website built to be found — whether in AI search, Google, social or in your neighbourhood — and a brand that finally looks and feels like you.
-
Support & Grow
We keep supporting and maintaining what we've built together through every change and addition.
Real Impact. Real Results.
In their words — what changes when your brand finally matches your work.

Lola Media is my business secret weapon.
Photography, branding and design in one seamless experience for all my marketing needs. It's so much easier going to one provider for all my tech and visuals. It's a streamlined approach that saves me both money and time as everything needed is in-house. Lori has a really relaxed and calm nature and a great eye for colours and composition.
★★★★★
Lori just gets it.
She took my messy ideas and turned them into a gorgeous brand and website that feel so me I've attracted quite a regular client base who can easily and happily recommend me to all their friends. I love showing off my beautiful website.
★★★★★
I'm just absolutely rapt with everything that's been done!
I tried doing it myself but I was so frustrated as I wasn't getting the cohesion of colours that I wanted. I was so relieved when I could just leave it to Lori. I felt so proud and it gave me a new lease of life regarding my business. I've had some wonderful feedback about the branding from the nurses I work with that has resulted in further work offers.
★★★★★
Lori is my go to designer!
She really spent a lot of time listening and understanding my needs, so I hired her to rebuild my second business too. The rebrand and website she created for me has completely elevated my businesses. People tell me how much my sites stand out and feel very custom and unique to me, and I am getting a lot of enquiries.
★★★★★
Working with Lori was the best decision for my business.
She handled a complete rebuild and allowed my busy studio to grow into online courses and classes so I can expand and retain clients. Clients always comment on how beautiful and easy to use our website is, and the staff loved their photos.

Learn more →Frequently Asked
Is "Lola Media" a social media agency?
No. Lola is an old nickname of Lori's — she's the founder, and she answers to both. This is a full brand studio: photography, design, and website, all in one place.
Do you only work with New Zealand clients?
No. We're based in Matakana, New Zealand, and work with clients across New Zealand, Australia, the US, UK, and Canada.
What if I only need one of the three services?
Totally fine. If you already have a designer or photographer we will work with them and you to ensure the most cohesive result. We often help clients find photographers when we aren't local to them and we can help them create a shot list and guide the photographer according to their branding.
