l i f e a s a r t
As a Denver portrait photographer I document growing families, with family films, pampered maternity photos, natural newborn photography, first year portraits, and sentimental family photos.
I believe your portraits, while stunning, should also feel effortless in every frame. Through natural poses, muted tones, and natural light, my images will reflect you at your best. As a student of photography for over 20 years I bring all of that knowledge and care to every session. Most importantly, your experience should be memorable and easy so you look back on these portraits fondly.
With all the details covered, you can just arrive for your session.
I offer personalized styling, on-site hair and makeup, a studio wardrobe, a natural light studio that your kids will enjoy running around, location scouting, directed-yet-natural posing, spirited child handling, and in-person ordering appointments to help you make the most of your images.

MAKE YOUR MEMORIES OF THESE DAYS FULL OF ART & BEAUTY
family films
The perfect way to truly go back in time. A family film is incorporated seamlessly into your session as I blend artful portraits with intimate video captures. The final film is loaded into a beautiful linen album, upon which opening, the film plays inside the album. Children love these films, securing memories for them that otherwise would have been lost to time.

ABOUT LAURAmother, photographer, educator
When my grandmother passed away, I had the honor of sitting by her side and then packing up her belongings.
At the end, her belongings amounted to a slew of precious framed photos, albums, and boxes of heirlooms. This resonated so deeply with me that after 93 years, the only things she would carry to the end would be her memories in the form of photographs.
It occurred to me: how would I pass down heirlooms to my children? Would it be relic iPhones and dusty old hard drives? Or would there be artful and thoughtfully created portraits mixed with trips to the beach, beautifully encased in albums and quality frames?
MEANINGFUL DECOR FOR THE HOME
After your session, we bring your beautiful photos into your life. All collections I offer include the digitals so we can turn our attention towards creating artwork for you to start enjoying every day in your home. I will project true-to-size artwork on your walls, so you know exactly how your final purchase will look.
I offer a curated and limited collection of framed fine art, print boxes, films, and albums. Every product is archival and handcrafted to last.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER
As a busy mom, I know the rollercoaster that is motherhood. I know you don’t need another ‘to-do’ on your already-full plate. Documenting your family’s story should be easy and fun. It should add to your life, not take away from it. So I keep things simple from booking right online to delivery of your portraits.
