We have decided to name Laura the Modern Fairy Godmother of Newborns. She waves her magic camera, employs an unbelievable array of props and then blows pixie dust and stars into her photos. We are thrilled. Each time we look at Laura’s photos we fall in love with the baby all over again. It is apparent that Laura comes with years of experience. Her creativity is unsurpassed. She matches parents’ preferences with her seemingly bottomless cupboard of artistic items. In our session, which lasted for hours, we marveled at her newborn patience, care and skill. She is a master of artful swaddling. Yes, it is a thing! And, had I not seen it for myself, I wouldn’t have believed that she could coax a smile out of a sleeping infant. She makes even the jowly sleepy pouts look adorable. Laura is able to capture newborn nuances that we didn’t know existed until we received the photos.

I really do not have words to express how magnificent was this experience. Laura is so sweet, helpful, nice, and at the same time so professional. She really loves children and babies. I really loved this experience, she made me feel at home all the time and added extra flavor to my already wonderful moment. To add to all of this, the final work is just incredible.

Laura is an absolutely phenomenal photographer!!! She has an incredible eye for detail, and her creativity continuously wows me. She truly is a “baby whisperer” and is so tender and kind with children. She makes every person she meets feel comfortable in front of the camera and produces the most beautiful images with intricately thought out color schemes and prop usage. Her talent shows in all that she does, and we feel so blessed to have found her. We have used her for maternity photos, family photos, and newborn/milestone photos for all of our children and will continue to use her for future children and family memories.

We brought our little girl in for her newborn photo session at 9 days old. Laura worked wonders with her, and was extremely patient and willing to take breaks. She created lifetime memories which we will have forever. We were extremely happy with our final product and would absolutely recommend Laura.

Laura is very sweet and has a great studio set up in her home. Lots of props, you can tell she’s very invested in her craft. I’ve gone to her for maternity, newborn, and six months, and I'm looking forward to my son's one year cake smash photoshoot. She has always exceeded my expectations!

Laura King is fantastic. What I love about her is the high quality of the photos. The different options for printing the pictures are outstanding quality as well. She is personable and really has become a part of my children’s life. I have used her for the past 4 years and will continue. She makes each picture session individualized, so you know you are getting something unique. The sessions are fun as well. Lastly, you instantly feel welcomed. I highly suggest her for any child’s session.

I absolutely love the pictures that Laura takes of my grandchildren. Her gorgeous backdrops, delightful props, variety of poses and her ability to capture each child’s personality make it so difficult to choose from all of photographs she produces. I’ve been there several times to watch her photograph the kids and each time she manages to “catch”’ their precious expressions as she laughs and plays with them while they don’t even realize they’re being photographed. Laura has truly given us some memories to cherish.

As a CPP (Certified Professional Photographer, designated by PPA – the Professional Photographers of America) I've passed a rigorous technical exam – think the bar exam for photographers. In addition, I had to have a portfolio reviewed by a judging panel to demonstrate specific photographic expertise. What this means for you is that you can trust that your images will be of the highest quality, created with utmost care. And since your baby is only a baby for such a short time, that’s a big deal.
