About Us

  Michael W. Thomas has been creating wonderful black & white and color photographs for over 40 years.  He proudly served his country in the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam.  Upon his return, he realized how vital capturing life is and returned to his favorite hobby of photography.

His photographic career began in New York City and continued when he relocated to scenic Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Michael specializes in Fine Art and Landscape Photography.  In 2005, with the help of his wife, Lori, ShadowCatcher Photography was officially re-born.

Michael is also an avid cyclist, known to some as the "King of Retro Jersey's," a speedskater, and USPSA Shooter.

Lori Prashker-Thomas is Co-Owner and Photographer of ShadowCatcher Photography. Creativity has indeed been what has fueled her soul. She has always had an interest in the arts and being creative. As a child, she would create clothing for her dolls with scarves, do their makeup, and come up with stories behind all of the looks. As she grew older, she would sit with her mother and watch her sew beautiful clothing and then sew on her own. This led her to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

She has danced since a young age and always loved entertainers and entertainment. Once she met her husband, Michael, she picked up a camera and was hooked. She has been creating memories for family, friends & clients for over 15 years and specializes in Portrait, Event, and Wedding Photography. 

​

She is also Owner and Head Officiant at Ceremonies by Lori. She has worked as a Legal Secretary and Administrative Assistant for more than twenty years and now as an advocate, as both a speaker and a writer for Jewish women dealing with crisis pregnancies. She is also on the board of the NEPA Pride Project and the Special Events Committee of the Rainbow Alliance.
