Hi, I’m Laura!

And we’re about to have a great time.

Getting your picture taken sometimes feel like a lot. You’ve got a million things running through your brain…“How’s my hair? Did we choose the right outfits? Is my son smiling? Please tell me her fingers aren’t in her nose.”

This is what I’m here for.

My goal is to capture
your joyful connection + personality with warmth,

helping you feel natural and keeping you laughing. All while making sure the details come together for a fun and relaxed time together. I know you’ll be so grateful you have these memories captured.

A little more about me!

I’ve been in business since 2016, and it’s been a dream. I love meeting new clients, building a quick rapport, making you smile, and coming up with jokes that totally crush with your kids so you don’t have to.

I love podcasts, a solidly timed GIF, train rides, crying at mountain views, dramatic tv, stand-up comedy specials, driving by myself, oat milk lattes, and singing along to Biebs and Taylor Swift.

I’ve been married for nearly 15 years to my tall bearded wonder, Grant, and we have three beautiful boys who keep me entertained and well-versed on all things dinos, superheroes, and baseball.

Though not originally from the Chicago suburbs, we’re grateful to now call Wheaton our home.

LET’S GET YOU BOOKED!

Even in all the beauty of the autumn season, home will always be my favorite place to capture your family. The Steckers, at home 🫶🏻
My goal for family sessions this year is to step back + embrace what is. I’ve had the WILD privilege of photographing the same families year after year. Each time that repeat inquiry pops into my inbox, my brain immediately jumps to “Ok,
I would be remiss if I didn’t grace my feed with a permanent post of Mrs. Audrey Gabriele—a gem, a knockout, a comedic legend, a SWIFTIE—on the same day that our bff and yours posted her engagement. Audrey, who married—you gue
If you’ve ever done a newborn session with me, you know I’m a sucker for an outdoor or a front porch moment. So, naturally, I forced the Foltz outside on the hot summer morning as we celebrated their sweet Peter joining the fold. I&rsquo
A love letter to sun-soaked summer nights. A love letter to some of my most OG of clients, the Shapiros. This summer has been ridiculously full of nights just like this. It’s about time I shared more of it 🩵
