Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I have two avenues for my photography:
1) Photography sessions or 'shoots', one hour, your location of choice
and
2) Photo Adventures! Basically walking photo shoots offered in downtown St. Augustine and downtown Green Cove Springs.
~Photo Adventures: Have Fun and get some Great, out-of-the-ordinary photos in a 'walking photo shoot' where we stroll the predetermine area (downtown/historic district of both towns), but NOT predetermined locations IN the area. It is all what YOU want. Be silly & playful or serious & dramatic, posed or candid or all of the above, it's all up to you. [See examples below in the Projects section and/or Go to the website or FB page to see many more samples!] Learn a little history & interesting tidbits along the way from your licensed tour guide and professional photographer.
Great idea for couples, group of friends, vacationers.... and as gifts!
**This choice is only $150 total, not the price listed here which is for regular shoots.
~ Photography sessions: You get up to one hour professional service shoot [although more time is available too].
One hour, one location, up to 8 people. (anything above what's listed is available to work out, just extra cost)
There is a fast turn around time, from the shoot through editing to viewing your images online. This current price includes all edited digital images, and you may choose to purchase premium quality prints and canvases.
Freeedom Photography (yes there are 3 e’s lol) is my passion to turn your life’s precious moments into treasured keepsakes. Time slips by so fast. Make sure you capture this important moment in time. I will work with you to make it a fun and memorable session and get you what you would like to achieve. Feel free to view the website and also ask any questions you have! I will focus on what YOU want.
Thanks again for considering Freeedom Photography!
Blessings ~ Laura, owner/photographer

Outstanding experience working with Laura! We were able to coordinate a perfectly timed moment to capture my fiancé’s surprise reaction when I got down on one knee on the beach. She is super kind and fun to work with. Laura was even able to wrangle our 2 pugs while she took some pictures of us without them. Highly recommend!

Photographer was fantastic to work with and took great photos of our family. We were from out of town, with a large family gathering. Laura arrived early at beach site and planned out where and how we could get great pictures. She was also very patient with our large group that included two young children. Most importantly, we are thrilled with the pictures she took for us!! We can highly recommend her service for quality and value.
Details: People • Portraits (engagement, maternity, family, etc.) • As recommended by the professional • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Laura was very responsive, enthusiastic and professional and really worked hard to please this customer and she understood what I was looking for! Having an active 2 year old was a tiresome task when the weather was off and on! She did a very good job at capturing him with all his energy. The pictures of him are adorable and I’m very pleased with her quality and “her patience”. You will be very happy with her personality and her determination to make your photo shoot a moment to cherish! Thank you Laura for your valuable time and commitment to quality and our happiness!

Oh Wanda, I'm so glad you are pleased and we got some images you and your family can cherish. It certainly was hard work lol! 2 year olds can definitely be a challenge, but he's so darn cute and lovable. Thanks for your wonderful and kind words. I hopefully can service your family again sometime. Blessings :) Laura

We had a large group for our photo session that consisted of a few kids too. Laura was able to get us all lined up so that each person appeared in our group photo. She also was accommodating of our schedule and made sure we got our shots completed on time before our next engagement. We recommend her!
