About

I’m a one-person event videographer/photographer with 14 years of experience, focused on documenting your day honestly and unobtrusively. My goal is for you to stay fully present in the moment, while I quietly capture the real emotions, details, and in‑between moments as your schedule naturally shifts. Clients and coworkers describe me as blunt yet kind. I’m straightforward about what I can deliver, and I won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. I’m even‑keeled, grounded, and genuinely enjoy meeting new people and witnessing big life moments. If you’re looking for a documenter who blends into the background and keeps things real, I’d love to talk about your event.

I truly enjoyed this photoshoot. Myself and my girlfriend wanted to do something different for the trips we take and decided on photography. We usually just tour places and we definitely did that in Chicago but we ended the last day with photos. They came out great. The whole process was smooth and really during the shoot we had great conversation! Thank you Laura for being a professional in the true sense of the word. You know they say it's all about relationships in life, we just added another person to our village!

I feel lucky to have worked with Laura. She really knows how to put people at ease in front of the camera and also is great at helping with poses. And I loved that she captured me in my truest self. Thank you!!

LMN is a fantastic photographer. Really captured those unscripted moments, that showed the happiness and the joy of the moment. But also gave great directions when it came for posing for the camera. Made everyone feel comfortable.
The images came out amazing, capturing all the emotions. Very detailed, superb editing, and fast turn around. Highly recommended for future events. Thank you again.
