About
Thanks for checking out my work! I’m Laura, a veteran and the photographer behind Laura Rena Photography. I’ve been documenting moments since 2012, and I love what I do! Who else gets to say their office is the beach?!
I have experience with family sessions, dance and aerial portraits, dating profile photo updates, headshots, engagements, graduations, and beach weddings. I also cover local events and offer boudoir sessions.
Whether you’re on vacation with the family, celebrating a milestone, or updating your brand, my goal is to create photos that are crisp, clean, and true to life.
I value authenticity and I'm honored to take pics that you will print, frame and keep for years. Let’s work together!

She did a great job with our large family (25 people, 15 of them under 12!) She made sure we got everything we needed and were happy with the results.

She is 5 star in my book. She was very personable and helpful. We had such a fun experience for our beach pictures. And they turned out so beautiful!!! I recommend her to anyone needing pictures done.

Laura Rena was excited, professional, and kind. Her pictures were beautiful and she had creative ideas and gave great advice. The pictures of my daughter and her fiancée were gorgeous and candid. I would use her again in a minute!!!

Laura was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. I had never used the thumbtack app and was nervous about booking a photographer I didn’t know for our family beach photos. Needless to say, Laura went above and beyond my expectations. She answered any questions I had through message, was flexible with time and weather, showed up early, and made my family feel comfortable during the session. The quality for the price of her work is top notch. I would recommend Laura to anyone! Can’t wait to hang these photos and cherish them for years to come!

I chose Laura to work with after seeing all of her positive reviews and they couldn’t be more accurate! From the start, Laura was responsive to answering any questions I had and was super understanding about working with a large family traveling from out of state. Laura was very flexible about scheduling and confirmed date/times prior to the shoot date. On the day of she was communicative and timely. She was professional and detailed oriented during our 20 person shoot! Laura provided us with our photos SO quickly and they were absolutely beautiful! Laura was even able to help meet the requests of picky family members after the shoot was over. I would absolutely recommend Laura for a large family portrait session. Thank you again!
