NEWBORN

Welcome!

I’m a Minnesota wedding and newborn photographer based in Stillwater, MN serving couples and families who want a seamless, stress-free experience, and photos that feel natural, warm, and true to their story.

I take a hands-on approach so you’re never left wondering what to do. From helping with timelines to gently guiding you into relaxed, flattering poses, I’m there to support you every step of the way. While also stepping back to capture the candid, in-between moments as they are told.

My editing style is warm, soft, and natural, with a balance of genuine candids and refined, editorial-style portraits that never feel forced.

I’ll fix your veil, wrangle family, calm nerves, and keep things moving so you can stay present in it all. Whether it’s your wedding day or those early days at home with your newborn, my goal is simple: you feel taken care of, and your photos feel effortless.

“Laura has been the best to work with! Our winter engagement shoot fell on a cold, windy winter day and Laura was the biggest trouper! In fact, she thanked us for dealing with the cold weather. We had an absolute blast having her for our engagement shoot and the pictures all turned out amazing! We are a summer 2023 wedding and we are so excited that we get to have Laura photograph us and hang out with us on our big day!”

-Lindsay H

“Laura was a dream to work with! She was organized and provided everything we needed, including shot lists, timelines, and examples, which saved us so much time. On the wedding day, she kept everything on track and gave clear guidelines to the wedding party, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day. Her photo skills are amazing—we’re in love with our engagement and wedding pictures! She made us feel comfortable, offered great posing ideas, and captured our moments so naturally and authentically. Highly recommend!”

This is what happens when we actually slow down on your wedding day. 👇 • I have time to choose a portrait spot that’s intentional…not the random patch of shade next to the parking lot because “it’ll have to do.”

It’s felt impossible to show up here the way I normally do while so much pain is unfolding around us. My heart is with Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the US. This isn’t politics. This is people being killed. This is parents not coming home.
