Behind the Lens

Your New Friend & Photographer

I'm Laurel, a lover of imperfect people and authentic art.

Storytelling has always been a huge part of my identity, and that's what my work will always point back to; I want to capture who you are candidly and authentically as if no one is watching! I believe there is always joy to be found in a story that's uniquely yours.

Virginia born-and-raised, my work has an elevated, polished feel with an always-present touch of small-town intimacy.

"Not only did Laurel professionally deliver what we asked for, she also creatively provided us gorgeous photos that captured the moment. She was a friend and calming voice that shined through in the middle of a busy day and made sure we were happy and enjoying our day through and through. I can’t recommend Laurel enough; she will do a stellar job because she has a heart for people and her profession."

"Looking at our photos took me back to the giddy feeling of the day because she managed to encapsulate the joy and celebration so beautifully. It was a day that represented us, and now we have the photos to prove it, thanks to Laurel. She was prepared, knew exactly what we wanted to achieve for our day, then captured it perfectly. "
