I'm proud to be able to proved my clients with archival, museum-grade pieces of artwork that will stand the test of time! Let me take care of the stress of printing and guide you to the products that will best suit your tastes & home. I offer a carefully selected range of products which include a few mediums of wall art (canvases, fine art wood prints, etc.), fine art prints, folios, folio boxes, and last (but farrr from least!) albums.
Joke was on me. I held my cat right before snapping this & didn't realize until afterwards that I was covered in cat hair so I had to spend some extra time in Photoshop. I'm Laura - a photographer who doesn't bite!; As a person I love lazy days on Okauchee Lake, tacos, white rum, and preferably all those things together on a hot summer day!
Allie: If you're looking for a quality photographer who is kind, affordable, goes above and beyond for her clients, and takes AMAZING photos please use Laura! We used Laura for both engagement and wedding photos and my husband and I couldn't be happier! I can't stop looking at them. Laura Uses lots of natural light and her slight editing to pictures make everyone and everything in the pictures look flawless.
Wow! I've you're reading this you've reached the bottom of my extensive wedding photography portfolio as a Wisconsin wedding photographer! If you're wondering why in the heck I'd show so many, it's to prove that I can produce images in any situation and with all types of lighting. I love being transparent so I show a lot so that there's no question as to what my clients' will be receiving from their own wedding.
I'm so excited to present my sample wedding album! If you catch coffee with me to chat wedding details and see more of my portfolio & artwork samples, this is what I'll bring (among a few other things). This is a fine art wedding albums and holy smokes does it feel like it! When I first lifted it out of the box I was pretty surprised at the weight.

We used Laura to photograph our extended this year, as she was referred by our "normal" photographer who has moved out of our area. She was punctual, helpful, patient and creative throughout the entire planning (which took some time with a larger number of people coordination wise) and day of session. The photos turned out beautiful, thank you!

Laura is an amazing person and really knows how to capture a moment. I have say at first I was not sure about hiring her because of the cost. I now have to say it was the best decision we ever made, she is worth every penny. The attention she gives you when you need something and to the pictures she is taking is top notch. I would recommend her to anyone and have plans to use here services again.

Laura is an amazing photographer! She is very responsive and professional to work with. She is so kind and fun, and made everyone feel so comfortable on our wedding day. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. We could not have asked for a better photographer for such an important day! You can tell Laura loves what she does, from her flexibility and attitude to her creativity and attention to detail. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and you can’t go wrong booking her services!

Absolutely wonderful photographer! We’ve had three sessions with her (baby photos, sibling photos, and specialty pics of my teenage ballet dancer) and we couldn’t be happier. She’s very professional and so good with kids. She always responds very promptly to emails and makes the entire process seamless and stress-free. All of our photos were just stunning! Her prices are so reasonable that I’m trying to find an excuse for another photo shoot! :-) We plan to use her for all of our family photos going forward!

Laura is absolutely amazing! Anytime someone mentions needing a photographer we always rave about her and highly recommend her! She did a fabulous job with our engagement photos, and then a few years later we went back to her for our family pictures! We had never done a professional photo session before, but she was so easy to work with and made our engagement photo session SUPER enjoyable! We loved every moment. Then this past year, we went back to her for some family pictures (with our daughter), which was also a gender reveal session! We didn't know quite how this would go, with having a 1 year

Laura was WONDERFUL to work with. Her high level of detail and professionalism, the way she put us at ease while still giving direction, it was everything we were looking for. She was polite, punctual and had great instincts to be in the right places at the right time. We’ve only seen a preview of the photos so far, but even those are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. Thank you for capturing our perfect day!

Laura is AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Her attention to detail and dedication to getting that "perfect" shot was amazing. She was very patient with us, and with the weather, as it was raining on and off all day. She did a great job at making us feel more comfortable, as we (bride and groom) are a bit camera shy. We just got our sneak peek photos and they look incredible! We definitely recommend booking Laura!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I went to see Laura for headshots for a new business. She was both professional and fun. She made me feel at ease. I was able to try a few different outfits that she recommended, and she chose well. The photos turned out great! It was hard to choose my favorites. The price was extremely reasonable as well. I would highly recommend her!

Laura has been wonderful to work with. We’ve used her for our engagement photos, wedding, and even for a portrait session of our dog (a lovely Christmas gift to my husband haha). We’ve also attended a number of weddings she has shot. She is courteous, well-organized, and always ends up producing amazing photos! Have never been disappointed with her work and look forward to working with her in the future as our family grows for family and newborn photos 🖤.
