and LIGHT
Known for imagery Rooted IN
When I first saw my own story reflected on the walls of my home, everything shifted. I realized that beauty isn’t something we chase—it’s something we create.
This is why I do what I do. To help you see the love, the grace, and the strength already within you—transformed into lasting art.
I believe the way you see yourself shapes the way you move through this season.

Laurel helped make each step so much easier.
Laurel is amazing! She was able to coordinate and pick out beautiful settings for pictures. While taking pictures she was able to adapt with my young kids' attitudes and wiggly bodies to create precious moments, which is not an easy job.

Laurel did a wonderful job photographing my family with 2 kids under 5.
She was efficient with our time, knowing beforehand what poses and motions would get nice pictures, and how she wanted us to work with the lighting.

Laurel captures light in such a beautiful way, I could not have been happier.
"We had a fabulous experience with Laurel in studio. My two year old was having a really hard day. Laurel was so gentle with her, and came up with great ideas to get some quality images despite the pout face. I was completely blown away when I received the images!!
