Exist in photos you can be proud of.

A Wooster, Ohio based photographer on a mission to capture genuine moments that turn into cherished memories.

Where Moments Become Art

If you’ve landed here, you’re probably looking for more than standard photos — you want artful portraits that capture the essence of your family.

That’s where I shine.

If you’ve ever hesitated to book photos because you fear the session will go off-the-rails, be a waste of your time/money, and potentially leave you embarrassed by your feral children (human or fur variety), this is me officially inviting you to just book the photoshoot already!

Give me the chaos, and I’ll show you the magic hiding inside it. If your kids have big personalities or your dog thinks rules are optional… I can still work with that!

My superpower isn’t controlling the moment…
It’s catching the moments you missed.

The giggles between the distractions.
The gentle connection after the zoomies.
The candid expressions you didn’t see.

I’ll hand you a gallery that makes you say, “I don’t know how you did it - but these are everything and more than I thought they would be.”

Hi, I’m Laura

*Passionate. Efficient. Kind-hearted.*
I asked my clients to describe me in three words, and that is what they wrote time and again. But my favorite response, “The Best Ever”.
I don’t know about that, but I will say I love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ve been blessed for almost 20 years to go to work in a profession that seems like anything but “work”.

“Coming to Laura for photos is an experience! Her sets are amazing - she is so creative! Her editing skills are tops. Even when you think your child is being difficult, she still manages to surprise you with special captured moments. My daughter loves the memories she makes during each session, and the photos I get back are absolute treasures. Timely, creative, patient, professional, incredible!

Other Raves

Not Just another Photographer of the Week.

You can expect exceptional images every time—because I know how to bring out the best in every subject. From 8 days old to 80 years young, human or animal, I understand how to pose and light each individual beautifully. And trust me—you won’t just like a few photos. You’ll fall in love with every single one.

Art with Experience

The Specialist you Deserve

With nearly two decades of experience photographing both animals and people, there’s little I haven’t encountered. I have a special connection with animals—some even call me an “animal whisperer.” From tiny hedgehogs to towering draft horses, I’ve worked with every personality on the spectrum (kids included!). Whether it’s a session devoted entirely to your pet or they’re joining the whole family, I know how to capture the heart of who they are—and who you are together.

The Best of Both Worlds

You and your family deserve more than screen-bound memories. A wall portrait brings personalities to life in a way nothing else can — and digitals make it easy to share that joy anywhere. Every package includes both print + digital so you never have to choose.

Fill your walls with art and your phone with brag-worthy moments — because your family should be celebrated everywhere.

In Studio and On Location Options

Studio sessions offer a timeless, fine art aesthetic, while outdoor locations lend themselves beautifully to natural interaction. We’ll choose the perfect setting based on your personal style and the personalities of those involved, fur-covered or otherwise. I have a curated list of pet-friendly, picture-perfect locations (yes, even for a 1,500-pound horse). And in-studio, I thoughtfully avoid seamless paper backdrops—because comfort and safety come first, and no kid should have to suffer through slipping on a paper surface.
