A very well-known quote over there to the left... And this is how I feel about portraits. I want your portraits to be artful representations of who you are. Who your kids are. Your memories in the making. I create images of spontaneous moments, but that's not all I do, so the terms "casual" and "photojournalistic" don't fully describe my work. I use a variety of techniques to capture you and your children in beautiful, artful, lifestyle portraits that are YOU. Portraits that make you laugh... that make you cry... because you can't believe I caught that look, or that you look beautiful and never realized it. This is what I love. I know my photography was a gift from God, and that I get to see what he sees in you, and what you see in your children. The beauty. The art. The LIFE.

You will hold in your hands something quite unique; something no other photographer would have created for you. And I deliver finished portraits, not just digital files, so you will have them for a lifetime. Please browse this site to get a feel for the custom work I do. For details about what to expect from your session, see the sessions page. If you like what you see, please call and make an appointment.

Because life is a work of art.

Lauri creates portraits that are your lasting memories in the making. She uses a photojournalistic style to create storytelling images in an artistic way. The photographic techniques she
uses during portrait sessions are a combination of candid photography and artful design, creating beautiful contemporary portraits for your family. She captures the
essence of childhood in both color photography and black and white photography. Her photos are lifestyle photography at its finest, because Lauri has an unusual ability to both connect with her subjects and become removed from them, depending on the images she's creating. She captures childhood by being a photojournalistic storyteller of your lives, and by entering your lives with her camera to capture what you experience when your child smiles at you or gives you one of his many unique looks.
