About
Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a portrait photographer based in Austin, Texas. I’ve been capturing portraits and engagements for over a decade, and what started as a fun hobby has grown into a business I truly love. During my sessions, my goal is to make the experience relaxed and easygoing so you can feel comfortable, confident, and truly yourself in front of the camera. My editing style leans natural and timeless, with an emphasis on capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt. Along with digital photography, I also love mixing in 35mm film for a unique, nostalgic touch. I would love to work together and to help capture your story!

Wow! Where do I even begin with Laura? She is truly so talented and gifted. Her pictures hold so much meaning and depth. What I love most is that she not only has creative ideas to help with posing and styling but also gives you the freedom to explore on your own.

To say she has an eye for this would be an understatement. She’s pursuing photography on the side, but with her talent and passion, I have no doubt it could soon become her full-time endeavor!!! She took my master’s graduation photos and played a huge role in making the experience memorable and special. My family and I are absolutely elated with the pictures—they are incredible! It’s like natural, yet aesthetic, yet timeless with her style of expression.

She gave me images and memories I’ll cherish forever. As someone who doesn’t love posing, I truly appreciated how she made the experience feel so relaxed and natural. She puts the focus on you, your moment, and simply enjoying it… no pressure to do it “right”!

Details: Graduation portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

We had a fantastic experience working with Laura for a family photo shoot. She was incredibly patient, friendly, and made everyone feel at ease! Her responsiveness and professionalism stood out, and the final photos were beautiful. Her talent truly shows through her work. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Laura was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and responsive to provide her availability and pricing and suggested a couple of places for a photo shoot but was open to my suggestions too. She checked out the area before I got there and we had plenty of spots to get different angles. I felt comfortable with her and she was very kind the whole photo shoot time. The end photos were also exactly what I wanted! I definitely recommend her work!
