My intention as a family photographer is to create timeless, beautiful photos you will treasure as family heirlooms. But it's a lot more than that. I'm aiming to capture the unique spirit & story of your family. I want to honor the love you pour into your people. I want to follow you and your family as you grow and change over the years, witnessing every new addition, growth spurt and attitude adjustment (that last one can be a little scary but I'm here for it).
This is what I'm after:
Connection, joy, gratitude, affirmation and belonging.
My son already loves looking at the dozens of photos of his first year adorning the wall of his room. As he grows, our home will fill with more and more family photos. He will look at them and know: I am loved. I belong. I am not alone.
And a lifetime later, when we aren't here, whoever loves us can open that album, drink in those timeless photographs, and feel that connection always.

INFORMATION »
Are you going to bring props?
↳NOPE NOPE NOPE. If you are into your baby being dressed like a vegetable and placed in a basket, you do you. I'm not your girl! I find babies to be fascinating little works of art all on their own that don't need much extra help to create beautiful photographs. We may use some items you have at home - baby blankets, pillows, sweet headbands, etc - to accessorize baby and make her/him comfortable while we photograph.
What is your turn around time?
↳Your edited, frame worthy, curated gallery will be delivered via online gallery within 4 weeks of our session.
Wait. I have another question...
↳Shoot me an email!
When should I book?
↳For newborn shoots, as soon as you know your due date! We'll pencil in a date for a week after you're due, and I'll keep availability open around that date so you are guaranteed a shoot.
When is the best time to do a newborn shoot?
↳It's always a good time to photograph your new baby! For those sleepy, womb-like poses, we should shoot within two weeks of birth - 5-12 days after birth is ideal. That being said, that's kind of a busy time and photos might not be a top priority. I photographed my son at 8 weeks old - by then he was smiling, less smushed up, and engaging! I've photographed babies at all stages, and my philosophy is - just do it when you can, but DO IT!
Are you going to pose my baby?
↳I am 100% not putting your baby in a basket, shoe, pile of stuffed animals, etc. If you have a baby that is happy being put down, then I will do some gentle posing. Most babies prefer to be held, which is just perfect. I'll provide you with some gentle guidance to optimize your. natural movement for the camera.
I really encourage the entire family to get in the frame, but if you're really really sure that's not for you, it's totally ok.
Let's create beautiful photos of your love(s) that you can hang on your walls and print into albums to enjoy when they're no longer little.
You know as a parent or beloved caretaker - kids change so much, so quickly. Capturing them growing up - growing into themselves - is such a special way to honor your work and dedication as their nurturer.
I've worked with kids in a variety of capacities other than photography - I've been a teaching artist for years teaching neurodiverse kiddos of all ages with a wide range of backgrounds. I will meet your child wherever they are and they will be my guide to creating timeless photographs that showcase the beauty inherent in all of us, so easy to see in children.
As a parent myself, nothing will phase me. Bring on the spit up, potty jokes (I've never found something more effective at eliciting those uninhibited, joyous smiles than a good old fashioned potty joke), dirt & tantrums. We got this!

"My family and I absolutely loved working with Laura for our family session. She was sweet and professional and my kiddos adored her. She used a fun monkey toy on her camera to keep my easily distracted children focused and smiling throughout the session. I was worried about getting a good picture, but the biggest problem now is having to narrow down the many that I love! My husband who is not easily impressed was blown away by the beautiful gallery she created for us and I love how she was able to capture amazing lighting both inside and outdoors. My oldest still talks about playing with Laura in the yellow flowers and we cannot wait to work with her again!"
