About Laura

Hi there! I’m Laura, a family photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin, and a wife of eleven years to Steve and dog mom to Sadie, our little Maltipoo pup. A couple years ago I read a great book that talked about identifying your “simple pleasures” and trying to incorporate them into your life as much as possible. Here’s my list:

• exploring new neighborhoods in the sunshine with Steve and Sadie on long walks
• having a cup of black tea (with lots of cream and sugar!) in the morning
• eating a meal outside with friends on our screened in porch (my favorite place in the whole world!)
• working on a house project or a woodworking project with Steve in our garage
• cooking (and eating!) delicious food, especially if the ingredients come from our garden
• teaching Sadie new tricks or skills – she does agility, parkour, and scent work!

And, of course, I absolutely love capturing moments within families at all stages of life. I love how a photograph can freeze a single moment in time – the way your kids break into laughter at something they find SO silly, your baby reaching out to grab your finger, or the moment your partner whispers that inside joke in your ear – while at the same time can represent an entire season of your life, and remind you of the joy and anticipation and love you were feeling at the time.

If you like posting photos of your family on social media to commemorate birthdays and holidays, if your walls and side tables have frames filled with images of your family throughout the years, and if you love flipping through photo albums and remembering all the good times, I’m so glad we’ve found each other! Let’s talk!
