"Great photographer to work with for our wedding. Laura was very accommodating and took photos of our requests plus many candid shots. She had good suggestions for poses also. Not sure how she got everyone to look good in the group shots, but she did. Would highly recommend for wedding or family portraits. She was a joy to work with!"

"Laura was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She was extremely professional, responsive, reliable (and calm amid a chaotic family environment). We requested a family photo shoot for 19 people, consisting of three babies, three toddlers, six seniors (and a dog).

Ahead of the photo session, Laura and I corresponded several times via email, answering questions and offering suggestions on a shot list, attire color palette, props, backgrounds, etc. She also visited the location ahead of time to check on the scenery/lighting. The day-of the photo shoot, she arrived early, had a printout of all the photos that we requested, and took it upon herself to familiarize herself with our family members. She positioned us several different ways and moved us to different locations around the yard to capture beautiful, diverse photos. The pictures turned out great! We cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Laura!"

"I searched high and low for a quality photographer who could do quality Branding Photography. Laura's portfolio stood out above the others.

She was inquisitive prior to the session to make sure my needs and any specific details she should know. This was great because when I showed up she already knew what I was looking for in my photos.

At the photo session she was highly engaged, attentive to some specifics I wanted, chose beautiful outdoor backdrops and make sure things were progressing as I needed.

I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for Brand Photos!"
