Exist in photos you can be proud of.

A Wooster, Ohio based photographer on a mission to capture genuine moments that turn into cherished memories.

The Art of Being

What is The Art of Being?
It’s the quiet power of being fully seen—captured in portraits that are more than simple snapshots. Anyone can take photos, but creating art from a moment takes vision, care, and craft. I don’t just document your presence—I elevate it into something timeless. Through heirloom quality wall portraits designed to be passed down through generations, your story becomes a legacy—felt now, remembered forever.

What is The Art of Loyalty?

Loyalty is the language pets speak fluently—these are tributes to the unconditional love only a pet can give. Through thoughtful, emotive portraits, I create lasting art that reflects the love only they could give… and the loyalty you’ll never forget.

I’m guessing you’re here because you want something more than just snapshots of your loved ones. That’s where I come in.

People skip professional portraits because it feels like too much work. My mission is to change that—to make the experience seamless, stress-free, and yes… even fun. From the very first email to final delivery, I’ll guide you every step of the way. In the end, you’ll have stunning portraiture to display proudly in your home—or beautiful albums filled with memories you can flip through any time you feel like taking a walk down Memory Lane.

I’ll be completely transparent— I'm not the cheapest photographer out there. I create with intention, deliver with excellence, and price accordingly. This is more than a photoshoot —it’s an investment in your story, your legacy, and some of the most meaningful moments you’ll ever preserve.

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!

Other Raves

Not Just another Photographer of the Week.

You can expect exceptional images every time—because I know how to bring out the best in every subject. From 8 days old to 80 years young, human or animal, I understand how to pose and light each individual beautifully. And trust me—you won’t just like a few photos. You’ll fall in love with every single one.

Art with Experience

The Specialist you Deserve

With nearly two decades of experience photographing both animals and people, there’s little I haven’t encountered. I have a special connection with animals—some even call me an “animal whisperer.” From tiny hedgehogs to towering draft horses, I’ve worked with every personality on the spectrum (kids included!). Whether it’s a session devoted entirely to your pet or they’re joining the whole family, I know how to capture the heart of who they are—and who you are together.

The Best of Both Worlds

You and your pet deserve to be more than just a photo on a screen. Take the guesswork out of print & interior design with a selection of museum grade art offerings. Nothing is better than a life-sized wall portrait of your pet that lives on forever! But I also understand the importance of digital images. When you inevitably meet a stranger you just HAVE to show a photo of your fur kid to, you’ll have it securely saved on your phone .

In Studio and On Location Options

Studio sessions offer a timeless, fine art aesthetic, while outdoor locations lend themselves beautifully to natural interaction. We’ll choose the perfect setting based on your personal style and the personalities of those involved—fur-covered or otherwise. I have a curated list of pet-friendly, picture-perfect locations (yes, even for a 1,500-pound horse). And in-studio, I thoughtfully avoid seamless paper backdrops—because comfort and safety come first, and no one looks their best slipping on a slick surface.
