Life and Art Photography

Hey, I'm Laura!

The ultimate hype woman to making you feel great in your photos

I live for capturing little moments of big love, making you feel incredible in front of my camera, and making authentic connections that turn into real friendships. Preferably all with some gorgeous scenery around us!
 

I shoot a combination of happy lifestyle photos and epic one-of-a-kind portraits that will probably (definitely!) end up on your walls.
 

And I cannot wait to capture your story. 

Testimonials

“Laura is the BEST! She is so talented and can get some amazing shots of your special day. She’s so collaborative and really wants to capture you and your personality. She adds so much to your day by making the photos really fun and easy. I have followed her work on Instagram for years so she was the no brainer, easiest choice of the entire day! And she didn’t disappoint.”

“Working with Laura couldn't have been more perfect! We immediately knew she'd be a perfect fit for us. She was funny, and easy going, and simply real. One thing that really set her apart from other photographers is the fact that she offers a full day package vs choosing 6, 8, 10 hours. Oh and she does drone photography!!! We both were feeling awkward about being in front of the camera, but she made us feel relaxed and silly during our engagement shoots. Yes, we upgraded to the adventure package that allowed splitting our time up to capture different seasons and locations. So when it came time for the wedding, the camera wasn't intimidating anymore. I had a Pinterest page of ideas going, but when it came to the day of I tossed it out and said just be you and do what you do best. Our pictures couldn't have turned out better. From the timeless classic look to the fun and creativity that was put into it, Laura was the absolute best to work with.”

“Choosing Laura as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, I don't even know where to begin!! If you want someone easy-going who will make you comfortable AND give you the best wedding photography service and experience possible, Laura is your girl, no question. From the moment we started communicating, I knew we were in the best hands possible; it was like we were old friends, and I trusted her completely. We had her up to the family cabin for an overnight engagement shoot, which allowed us to get comfortable in front of the camera in our favorite place (not to mention how much fun we had!), and I know that made our wedding photos that much better. For the wedding day, she helped me with far more than just the photos... I don't think I could have planned out the day without her guidance and wisdom. We did a private, family/closest friends-only ceremony, and she made everyone feel so comfortable (the group shot she took that shows every single attendee's face is something to behold!); my mom made her a birthday cake and my dad was practically adopting her as an honorary daughter by the end of the night! I was so happy to get all the "dream shots" I had on my wish list, but she and her partner snapped so many special moments I never would have thought of, or gotten to see without their incredible talent. I look through our photos anytime I'm having a rough day (2020 has packed in a lot of them), and they always bring me so much joy. Laura is incredible, I feel like I've found my "photographer-for-life", and cannot wait for the next time I get to request her incredible services. By far the best investment we made in our wedding!!”

“Working with Laura was an absolute blast!! She has such a fantastic personality and made us feel comfortable right from the get-go. We could tell just from meeting her once that she loves what she does (and that she’s great at it!!) She made our engagement shoot and wedding day even more fun and was constantly making us laugh. And to top it off, her photos turned out absolutely STUNNING! We wholeheartedly recommend working with Life & Art Photography - it was one of the best decisions that we made.”

-Mara

Like most people I was nervous about getting my photo taken, but Laura was encouraging, patient, and a great hype (wo)man! The turnaround time was short- but the pictures turned out beautiful! 10/10 would recommend!”
