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 loved documenting my family and friends and have been inspired by my son's milestones. In 2009, a small business blossomed beginning with family and friends . Today, I'm proud to have worked with thousands of high school seniors and families across Central Virginia. My portraits have been featured in both local and national 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!
