Hi there, I'm Laura! And to be honest, I never thought I would become a wedding photographer.
And I don’t think anyone else expected it either. I was supposed to be the “smart” girl who would go off to get her PhD in something scientific and make the world proud. And I almost did that. I stopped at a Masters, worked in chemistry for 4 years, but decided to take a chance on myself with a different passion when that job ended up not being what I needed.
I always had a passion for helping and serving others, and I found out just how rewarding that could be as an adult when I worked as a barista. This coffee shop wasn’t a chain, this shop genuinely cared about whoever came in and went above and beyond for every single customer. And the results were all the proof I needed. Not only did I never have a single bad customer, I felt empowered every day because I could make a difference with something as simple as a cup of coffee.
I knew photography was what i was meant to do
Photography was always a hobby for me after I was yearbook editor in high school, but I never believed I could really do anything with it. But after chemistry left me a little bitter and broken, I wanted to love my job again. I realized I was meant to give people a space where they are comfortable being themselves, but where I was comfortable being myself too. If you want someone to just show up and click some buttons, I’m not the photographer for you. But if you want someone to guide you, be your friend, AND give you incredible images on the most important day of your life, I’m your girl.
Getting your picture taken is not an everyday experience, and it's completely valid that it might be intimidating to you. So, I want to ease that worry. Focusing more on your partner and less on the camera with movement-based posing is just one way I love to do this.
Let's be honest, you've probably never planned a wedding before. Kind of stressful, isn't it? This is why I treat all of my couples with grace. I welcome all questions, photo related or otherwise, and I will check in with you periodically to make sure you're not overwhelmed. I'm in your corner.
As an LGBTQ-friendly photographer, my priority is creating a safe space where you feel respected and comfortable throughout the entire process. Regardless of how you identify or who you love, you are welcomed, loved, and celebrated here.
I love to learn and am always looking for ways to improve. Once a year, I like to attend styled shoots or content days to spark my creativity. I also frequently participate in online workshops and listen to educational podcasts to keep my business practices fresh.
