Photography reminds me again and again that connection is one of the greatest gifts we have. I’m endlessly grateful to bear witness to (and preserve) those heart-beating-fast, "holy moly I'm so in love!!!" moments.
This isn’t just my job; it’s your life. Let’s stop it for a second (or a fraction of a second if we’re getting technical) so that we can capture the moments you’ll want to return to over and over again.
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration in a the venue of your dreams or an intimate elopement against the stunning backdrop of a National Park, I'm here because I’m a storyteller and your story is worth telling.
Your story, told honestly, and with a whole lot of heart.

I was voted “Most Suitable to Bring Home to Your Parents” in high school, which is wildly convenient now that I spend weekends meeting your families. If you want a photographer who feels like a friend and photographs like a storyteller, allow me to introduce myself. It's me, hi. :)
I believe weddings should feel calm, joyful, and deeply you. Presence > perfection. Always.
What past clients have had to say...
Where do I being!!! Not only did we find an amazing photographer in Laurie, but we found a friend. Choosing Laurie was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I mean this in the best way--you didn’t even know she was there. She blended into the chaos of the day and was able to capture moments that we may have otherwise missed. She went above and beyond to make my bridal party and our families feel comfortable. She was able to pick up on some nicknames and started using them like she’d known our friends forever. And the photos… they are perfect.. I find something new every time I look back on them. She is just such a genuine, pure, amazing human being.
Hiring Laurie was the best wedding decision I made. She was so professional, answered all of our questions, and helped create our timeline. She was definitely more than our wedding photographer; she acted as a day of coordinator, bridesmaid, therapist, and friend. Working with her was so effortless and she went above and beyond. My wedding day was not stressful because of everything she did and how she made everything so fun. There is a lot I didn’t see or notice on my wedding day and looking through our photos truly felt like I was reliving my day. She perfectly captures a moment in time.
I don’t think our wedding day would have gone off without a hitch like it did without Laurie. Her attention to detail, time management, and ability to handle a crazy big bridal party with ease made her the perfect fit for our big day. She was able to make my usually nervous husband feel so comfortable with her! We are so grateful to Laurie and can’t recommend her enough!
If you're thinking of hiring Laurie as your photographer, go ahead and do it right now! She is an absolute joy to work with and is a pro at making you feel at ease and comfortable (even if taking photos is not your thing). She was a rockstar on our wedding day and helped us navigate all the chaos of a rainy day wedding with a large wedding party and family. She brings the best energy and finds a way to connect with everyone. I knew at any moment during the day I could look to her for a moment of calm and just positive excitement. I can't recommend Laurie enough! (and bonus if you love books or Taylor Swift, she is the perfect yap buddy!!)
