DENVER NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

PORTRAITS FOR THE NOSTALGIC MOTHER

As a Denver portrait photographer I document growing families, specializing in maternity photos, newborn photography, celebrating the first year with an elegant cake smash, and sentimental family photos.

Our children grow too fast. But your portraits will forever serve as the reminder of what once was.

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.

Stay as you are, forever.

Every mom experiences fleeting moments in motherhood that overwhelm her heart and take her breath away. Maybe it’s watching your children quietly play, seeing them hug your spouse with tenderness and love, or the first time your child whispers, I love you. In that sliver of time, a warmth overflows your heart and all the work of motherhood shifts to a gentler perspective, one of gratitude and awe that you get to love these little people. You think to yourself, I want to bottle you up to stay as you are, forever.

I bottle it up for you and preserve it all in heirloom albums and beautifully framed prints.

a note from laura

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?

THE STUDIO

Ready to book?

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.
