PORTRAITS

philosophy

As a parent herself, Laura knows how fleeting the time raising kids is. 

A family photo session is an opportunity to capture the essence of your family at this time and place. Instead of stiff frozen posing, Laura takes a fun and relaxed approach to portraits. She strongly believes kids are at their best when they’re being themselves, playing and having fun with their families. Outdoor settings are perfect for letting your little family members’ personalities shine through.

Laura believes that tangible prints are essential to preserving family history. Each portrait session includes fine art prints so that your memories bring you joy every day.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

If you’re connecting with Laura’s photo style, there’s a good chance it’s because she loves to work outside in natural light. When we book a date for your photo session, we’ll also choose a rain date so that rescheduling is as easy as possible.

frequently asked questions

What if we’re awkward and my kids act up?

When the camera comes out, most of us feel self conscious and awkward. And when we feel uncomfortable, are kids are the first to notice! 

You can relax knowing that Laura will guide all of you into fun and authentic photos with a minimum of stress. Think more play; less bribe, though a stop for ice cream on the way home never hurts!

KIND WORDS

“My family LOVES the portraits Laura did for us.”

She really captured who we are in the pictures. Her attention to the detail is impressive; her use of framing elements in the natural environment around us made our pictures extra special. Laura’s positive attitude and personality put everyone at ease and this comes through in our pictures.
