st louis FAMILY photographer
Because the days are long, but the years?
They are flying.
Life with a family is full. Full of laughter, movement, tiny routines, big emotions, and love that runs deep. It’s a kind of magic that often feels ordinary in the moment—but becomes priceless when you look back.
At Laura Stansberry Photography, family sessions are built around connection, not performance. We’re not chasing perfection—we’re preserving truth. The way your child reaches for your hand. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking. The joy, the softness, the love that makes your family yours.
For the Families Who Feel It All
You love your people deeply—and you know how quickly this season is moving. You want portraits that reflect not just what your family looks like, but what it feels like to be part of it.
Whether you're chasing littles, guiding teens, or building a family tradition of being photographed together year after year—this experience is built for you.
Together, we’ll create something lasting. Something meaningful. Something that will feel like home every time you see it.
