Authentic, Dynamic Family Photography

Meet the Photographer
With over 21 years behind the lens and a background as a NICU/PICU RN, I bring a rare combination of technical expertise, genuine warmth, and an intuitive understanding of children to every session. My work has been featured on the covers of Parents and Mothering magazines, in books like NFL Daddies & Daughters, and Mamarazzi: Every Mom's Guide to Photographing Kids and across numerous children's brand catalogs and greeting card lines. I've traveled internationally to teach photographers around the world how to see light and capture the real, unscripted moments that make a photo truly last.
But here's what I'm most proud of: many of my families have trusted me exclusively from newborns all the way through senior portraits. That kind of loyalty doesn't come from a pretty portfolio; it comes from creating an experience that families actually enjoy. Even the toughest teens, toddlers, and dads leave my sessions having had fun. When people feel comfortable and relaxed, the authenticity in their relationships shows up naturally in every frame, and that's what you'll want to hang on your wall and pass down to your grandchildren.
I photograph in Denver year-round and travel to St. Louis several times a year to serve my loyal client base there. If you're ready for a session that feels less like a photoshoot and more like a really great hour with your family, I'd love to connect.

"I love everything about Laura and her photographs...I love that she makes the shoot FUN (keeping the attention of 3 boys is not easy and my boys still love her-19 years later), she is creative and professional, she is knowledgeable and has a true gift. The thing that I love most...if I have to choose one...is that Laura captures my children's personalities perfectly!!! I have photos of the middle one with his classic mischievous grin, I have one of my sweet oldest son lost in a thoughtful and kind expression. I have one of my youngest taking his first steps - literally. He walked from my husband to me for the first time and she captured all of our excitement perfectly. I love that Laura captured each of my children as their personalities grew and changed, just as their physical features did"
Kim Weas - St. Louis
"Laura has been our photographer 14 years. Her talent is unmatched, capturing the sweetest moments; first steps, quick glances, sibling love, and always precious non-forced poses. Every session with her is fun and stress free. The photos are always absolutely amazing. Flying in to Denver for Senior pictures this summer!!!"
Bill & Melissa Neff - Austin
"Her superpower is creating beautiful photos out of the complete chaos that our four kids (and sometimes our dogs) create! But she always keeps a sense of humor (and some potty jokes in her pocket). I am consistently blown away by the portraits she creates. They will be treasured for a lifetime!"
Kate Andrew - Denver
