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 keep 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, ice cold diet coke, 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 13 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 pokémon.

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

LET’S GET YOU BOOKED!

What you see vs. what I see. What you see is four adorable people who are over the moon about their new baby girl, Mia. She was chill and beautiful and such a good sport as big sister, Alina, was in that aggressively loving state of older siblinghoo
The Mancuso’s in the height of fall. Franny + Mattea in all their beauty and goofiness. Rocio + Charlie with their lighthearted, joyful parenting—fully leaning into the flow (or lack thereof) of a playful session with littles. Thankful f
That first pic is only my favorite moment I’ve ever captured of an older sibling at a newborn session. Shae is both a big vibe and a big sis!!! Hollons, you are something special to me. Inviting, warm, loving. I’ve loved all these milest
A post dedicated to a few cool city kids and their cool as heck parents 💛 I loved stepping into their beautiful, lively, personality-filled life for a few hours this fall. Doing unique, play-based, neighborhood and family-life centered sessions ab
Ok, fall session, but give it some Kenergy and beach it. No surprise how much I adore these girls. Their humor, their carefree nature, their love for ducks on the beach lol, and the way their parents just let them be THEM. You can just scroll down m
