"I have gotten so many compliments from our newborn photo shoot with Laura. I really wanted something casual, natural and family oriented. Laura allowed us to just spend time together as a family and caught beautiful images of us we can cherish forever. Thank you, Laura. We couldn't be happier with our photos!!!"
Fiana T.
"I can't recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who can handle the unpredictability of family life with grace, create beautiful images, and show incredible kindness, Laura is the one you want. We are grateful for her service and the memories she captured for us."
Adam L.
"Laura was great! Super attentive, and very accommodating dealing with a two-year-old and a newborn. Most importantly, we LOVE our pictures. Would definitely recommend and would definitely work with her again!"

While I always recommend using professional labs for the best results, you will have full rights to print them yourself if you choose.
You will have access to a private gallery from which you can easily order prints, albums, and other photo products from professional labs.
Worried about what to wear? Not sure how best to prepare your kids? Don't worry – I've got you covered! My client experience guide will help prepare you for your session – and if you have more questions, I'm only a phone call, email, or text away.
All sessions require a non-refundable retainer to reserve the session date. The remaining balance is due before your session. You can easily pay online.
All images included in your session will be made available to you for easy downloading.
All images are professionally edited.
This simple questionnaire takes only a few minutes to fill out, but it's worth its weight in gold when we get to the session. I use your answers to personalize my approach to your session.
All Sessions Include
My goal in every session is to capture genuine, emotive images of your family. Connection, love, laughter, joy – that's always my focus. I will prompt you and direct you and move you into the light. But always while making it look natural. Beautiful tiny babies all snuggled up, getting loved on by their family, that's what I capture.
If you are looking for a posed newborn session including poses like the frog pose or the taco pose, that is not what I do! There are other photographers who do an amazing job with these types of portraits and if that is what you are looking for, I am happy to refer you to one of them. My style is to make everything look natural and effortless (even though, again, I will be directing you the whole time for the most beautiful and flattering images).
I do not provide any props or posing materials for my newborn or Fresh 48 sessions. However, if you have an item that is important to you, I am more than happy to incorporate it into the session. Some of my families have included special outfits or homemade blankets, for example. Simple swaddles also photograph beautifully.
Just click here to let me know that you want to book and tell me if you prefer to communicate via email, video message, text message, or phone call. Once I've answered any and all of your questions and confirmed that you understand that my sessions are baby-led, not posed, you can easily book online with no lengthy back-and-forth scheduling process required. I need a signed contract and $300 non-refundable retainer to confirm my availability around your due date.
Due to the unpredictable nature of childbirth, most of my families schedule the specific date of their session after their baby is born. However, if you have a planned induction or c-section date scheduled and want to tentatively book a date based on that, we can do so. We can always adjust if the baby comes early.
I only take a limited number of newborns each month and I keep certain dates on my calendar open so that I can accommodate them.
After you've booked, I will send you a questionnaire. Please fill it out before your baby is born, if possible. This is what allows me to prepare the personalized prompts for your session (which is particularly important for any older siblings!).

After you've booked, I will send you a questionnaire. Please make sure that you fill it out several days before your session. This is incredibly important to allow me to prepare your personalized prompts.

For newborn sessions, we can work around your family's needs, but usually late morning is best. Babies (and any older siblings) are typically in a good mood at this time. But if you'd rather schedule at a later time of day, that's not a problem. I can use portable studio lighting, so I am not limited by natural light.
For maternity sessions, it depends on if you want an indoor or outdoor session. For outdoor sessions, it's preferable to schedule those at a time when the sun won't be too high so that the light on your family will be pretty and flattering. I typically try to begin my outdoor sessions 1-2 hours before sunset whenever possible. If this won't work for your schedule, though, let's talk about options – whether that's scheduling an indoor session, or moving your outdoor session to an earlier time of day.
For indoor sessions, because I am able to use both natural light and portable studio lighting, I am able to be very flexible in scheduling.
For Fresh 48 sessions, during the day is best so we can use natural light, but I can bring studio lighting if needed for an evening session.
If someone in your family gets sick or you have another emergency, please reach out to me and we can discuss what makes the most sense. I go out of my way to do anything I can to accommodate my newborn families if they need to reschedule (while also remembering that the newborn window is relatively short and we don't want to miss it!).
Your images will be ready within two weeks, unless more extensive retouching is involved.
I do light editing on every single image to ensure that you and your loved ones look as wonderful in your final images as you do in person. This includes ensuring that the colors and tones are beautiful in each image. I will also remove any minor, temporary imperfections, if requested, such as a small scratch or a random pimple.
If there is a specific situation requiring more extensive editing – such as a request for a head swap – I am happy to provide that service for an additional charge. Please reach out if you have specific questions about my editing process.
Only if you want me to! Most clients love having their sessions featured on the blog and getting to see sneak peeks on social media. That said, if you don't want me to share, I will always respect that. The choice is yours.
When you receive your gallery, you will also receive a link to my online store, where I offer beautiful products to help you display your memories.
Feel free to reach out to me if there is a specific product that you would like to purchase that I don't offer in my store. As a professional photographer, I have access to lots of custom products from the best labs, and I am always happy to help my clients.

and believe me, I remember well how fast and slow time moves during those early days. I also know that when I look back at my own kids' newborn photos, my heart still skips a beat. They take me back in time to what it was like to meet and fall in love with those tiny babies who are now my two favorite little people in the world. I would love to create beautiful photos for you to look back on as well.
