Hi! I'm Laurel.
I am a newborn, family, and couples photographer who works with relaxed, fun-loving people to document playful moments of genuine connection.
My style in life, work, and art is genuine, playful, and down-to-earth. Iโm a bit of a homebody with a huge, soul-filling love of the gorgeous nature of the Pacific Northwest. These are also my two favorite places to photograph you - cozied up in your home or out in the wild, lush, wonderful landscape we live in.
I love to capture intimacy, play, and little details. I adore quiet spaces where emotion can fill the room - while also embracing the chaos and mess that is real life. I hope to hold space for the real and the raw and the deeply personal in a world of filters and โgood vibes onlyโ.

what do you want to remember?
You probably take a million pictures of your kids. You might even squeeze yourself into some of them!
But how often do you get to step outside of the scene and witness it as a whole?
Iโm a big believer in noticing and honoring the little things in life - the ephemeral details and everyday moments that make up our days.
Iโm here to document the glow in your eyes as you cuddle your baby, the warmth of your partnerโs touch, the joy in your childโs face as they run toward (or away from) you; in short, the simple beauty of your everyday connection.
โLaurel was so fabulous to work with! She did our maternity and newborn pictures and captured our little family perfectly. The shoot was in our home, and we felt so comfortable with her. We appreciated that she captured us naturally while also giving a bit of guidance with lighting and positioning. She sent some great tips beforehand and was so responsive. I will cherish these photos and each time I look at them Iโll be transported back to that special time- priceless!โ
'โLaurel has such a personal and down to earth way of communicating.โ
'โLaurel is a kind and responsive person โ truly some of the best customer service we've had from a photographer and artist.โ
'โIt was important for us to find someone easygoing to work with - and Laurel is exactly that. She really listened to our vision before the session and our session felt natural and smooth.โ
