Hi There!

I’m LAURA!

I’m a portrait photographer in Utah County, specializing in newborn and children portraits with a minimalistic approach. And just like you, I am an exhausted, over-stimulated, wondering what she got herself into mom. I know that sometimes those days never seem to end and you count the minutes until bed time.

I know that life is messy and chaotic, but it’s in those messy moments that magic happens. I also know there is no one that brings you more joy than your children. No one you will fight harder for. Nothing you wouldn’t do for them.

That’s what I try to do in my work, help you remember those special babes and personalities you are raising and teaching by capturing them in a timeless way; giving you something to hold onto once the toys and sticky finger prints are gone.

About the STUDIO

My studio is located at 415 south 1200 west in Mapleton, Utah 84664. It has a private entrance and easy parking. There is a luxurious, roomy bathroom for you to use and plenty of space to spread out!

It is always a perfect 70 degrees in the studio no matter what is happening outside. No need to worry about weather, or where to go potty, or itchy plants or bugs!

Handel’s Ice Cream in Spanish Fork is not too far of a drive from the studio for a treat (bribe) after your fun session!

I promise you are going to love your studio portrait family session!

My EDUCATION

I absolutely adored my time at BYU-Idaho where earned a BFA degree in Photography. My education helped give me the fundamentals of photography as well as teaching me the history of my craft.

Since graduating, I have also participated in Sandra Coan’s (who is an industry leader in photography) Certification Program for Newborn and Family Photographers. I worked through the program and officially became certified in April 2024.

I have been featured on Sandra’s Podcast and have twice been a cover contest winner for the monthly photo challenges. (click on the icons to the right to listen and find out more)

In January 2024 my work was published in Utah Valley Magazine.
