CENTRAL VIRGINIA Family & senior photographer
I'm Laura...a wife, mom, and photographer based in Glen Allen, VA. I began my photography journey as a little girl with a pink and purple 110 film camera.. I've always loved documenting my family and friends and am constantly inspired by my son's milestones. In 2009, a small business blossomed and I opened a home office. While I have experience in many genres, I focus my work on high school seniors and families in Central Virginia. My portraits have been featured in numerous publications including Seniorologie, David's Bridal Prom, CBS Channel 6, Children's Hospital of Richmond Magazine, BuzzFeed, Style Weekly, and more! In 2017, I was voted one of Richmond's Best Local Photographers. My goal is to make the experience easy and fun with a stunning gallery of images as the result. I cannot wait to serve you!
