Hi, I’m Laura
Passionate. Efficient. Kind-hearted.
I asked my clients to describe me in three words, and that is what they wrote time and again. But my favorite response, “The Best Ever”.
I don’t know about that, but I will say I love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ve been blessed for almost 20 years to go to work in a profession that seems like anything but “work”.

“Coming to Laura for photos is an experience! Her sets are amazing - she is so creative! Her editing skills are tops. Even when you think your child is being difficult, she still manages to surprise you with special captured moments. My daughter loves the memories she makes during each session, and the photos I get back are absolute treasures. Timely, creative, patient, professional, incredible!

Not Just another Photographer of the Week.
You can count on great images every session because I know how to bring out the best in every client. Whether 8 days old or 80 years old, I am knowledgeable in posing and lighting to flatter everyone. I promise you aren’t going to like just one or two photos, you’re going to LOVE every single one. And here’s the best part…you get to keep them all. Every booking includes your full set of images with print release, no hidden costs. I hated clients having to leave behind favorites, so I made sure they never had to do that again.

years of experience
I am confident in capturing great images without monopolizing your time. I know how to elicit the interactions clients cherish most both quickly and efficiently. I won’t waste time experimenting during your session because I know what you want - flattering images that represent who you are and show joy. We all know a two-year-old has an attention span of approximately 2.5 minutes, so time matters. I also know that husbands absolutely hate having to take family photos and want to get home to the big game. You can promise him I’ll be quicker than any other photographer (and get better images, too). Dads don’t dread coming to my sessions, and that is priceless.

Limited Edition Themes yearly
Limited edition sessions are mini sessions on steroids and what I am best known for. I create over the top interactive sets from popular themes during holidays and all the seasons. You won’t find these options anywhere else! If you’re looking for fun experiences for your kids, these are it - plus you’ll have a beautiful gallery of forever memories to print and display in your home and share with friends.

Storage units filled with props
Three units PLUS a two story studio - yikes! I’ll be the first to admit, my prop collection is out of control, but don’t let that stop you from booking a session.
Quick Turnarounds
I always pride myself on “not your average photo editing”, but on top of that, I turn around images quickly. Most galleries are ready within 7-12 days of your session. You won’t be waiting 30 days, you certainly won’t be waiting 90 days, you’re going to have the memories from your photo experience ready to share in just about a week, extra magic added at no additional cost.
