WOMEN
COME FIRST
And the art always follows
This isn't about making you fit into my style.
It's about making sure my work reflects you.
Your comfort. Your truth. Your presence.
Everything else—the lighting, the composition, the final images—that comes after. Because if you don't feel seen, none of it matters.
You don't have to show up "ready." You don't have to perform. You don't have to be anything other than exactly who you are right now.
We focus on what's real—
the in-between moments,
the unguarded exhales,
the parts of you that don't ask for attention but deserve it anyway.
The experience is unhurried. Intentional. Built around you, not some template or trend.
And the result? Imagery that feels honest. Personal. Like looking at yourself and actually recognizing who's looking back.
Portraits that reflect who you are and the season you're in—not who you think you're supposed to be.
FROM START TO FINISH - We center women.
If you're reading this, you're probably trying to figure out if I'm your person. Fair. Let me give you the backstory
I didn't start out as a photographer.
For fifteen years, I worked in HR at a Fortune 500 company. I was good at it. I understood people—what they needed, what they weren't saying, how to make them feel seen.
In 2019, my husband gave me a camera before a trip to the Grand Canyon. When I returned home, it felt like a waste to tuck it away in a closet. Somewhere in that space, I felt a quiet pull toward something true - just enough clarity to take the next step. So I followed it.
Now I photograph women and families. Not because I'm trying to capture some perfect version of you—because that's bullshit. I'm here to witness you. Exactly as you are. In whatever season you're in.
My background in people-centered work shapes everything I do. I know how to hold space. I know how to make you feel comfortable when you'd rather be anywhere else. And I know how to see you—really see you—when you've spent years making yourself invisible.
That's what this work is about.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
HEY - I'M LAURA & I'M SO FUCKING GLAD YOU ARE HERE!
— Laquana
I had the absolute best experience with Laura for my maternity photoshoot! From start to finish, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and celebrated.
