Laurie is truly the best of the best! My husband and I Recently had a studio session with her. She took some shots of us for our holiday cards/pregnancy announcements. I was already aware of the quality of Laurie’s photography from my connection with her as a wedding/event coordinator. Even so, I was incredibly impressed at the shots she took of us. She has a special way of “catching a moment” in a photograph. She knows just what to do in order to get you to smile and act natural. Not only was I impressed with the photographic moments Laurie caught of us, I was impressed with her easy to

Laurie is a very talented photographer. She worked within our limited budget and delivered beautiful professional headshots. She came to our office to photograph our entire staff of 40+ people. She also was able to accommodate a few folks who were out of town during the photo shoot at her studio. She is so down to earth and puts people at ease. You'll love working with her and you'll end up with gorgeous photographs.

Laurie was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Our wedding happened during a December blizzard so severe many of our guests were unable to attend. Laurie's drive took her hours to make and she had to wade through streets and drifts to get herself and her equipment to Forepaugh's in time to take photographs.
We've had the photographs for several weeks now and are having Laurie make a wedding book for us. Every time I look at the photos I see something new in them. She manages to capture each moment in a fresh yet classic way that brings out every nuance from intimate emotions to the colors

Laurie came highly recommended to us by a friend and we are pleased to recommend her highly to anyone in need of a photographer. She is not a "stock" wedding photographer which we saw so many examples of. Through attaining Laurie Schneider as our wedding photographer years back, she has become a good friend throughout the years and we have consulted her on all of our future professional photography needs, whether it be our family and baby portraits, our beloved pet, holidays cards, or beautiful canvas framed art. I have referred many of my friends, family and acquaintances to her and everyone loves
