Family life is like a great novel —
the story is so engrossing
that the chapters fly by.
Let's take a moment to illustrate this chapter with honest, fun, and artful images that elevate
the ordinary days to the beautiful, extraordinary story they are.
Photographs help us stop time.
This is it - the time that everyone tells you flies by, the daily moments that are cherished but fleeting, the stories you want to document before they are gone. The time when they fit snugly and lightly on your hip; when they still have those little dimples on their small hands; or when they still want to play catch with you in the yard.
In a world full of pressing deadlines, distracting notifications and never-ending to-do lists, let’s take a moment to stop and celebrate what you have, what you’ve worked so hard for, and to document the ordinary moments that make up your extraordinary life.
Capturing these Moments Can Be EASY—AND EVEN FUN!
I’ve been working with families to capture the beauty, heart, and chaos of their lives since 2013. I’ve refined my process over the years to be as streamlined, natural, and fun as possible. Connection is the heart of my work. Together, we’ll create a space where you and your loved ones feel comfortable and relaxed just being yourselves in this chapter of your lives.
Prior to your session, I’ll lead you through my process step by step, ensuring that we create the beautiful images you’ve dreamed of, no matter your comfort level in front of the camera.
Doing a family photoshoot with two toddlers sounded like an impossible task but somehow Lara was able to capture our distinct personalities so perfectly in a short amount of time! She is a true light whisperer, each photo speaks a thousand soft and intimate words. I was truly stunned by her work and will cherish these memories forever!

HOW IT WORKS
1: SCHEDULE A CALL
Filling out my contact form and having a quick phone chat is the best way to go over all the details and answer any questions you have about working together. If it sounds like we’re a good fit, we can get your session on the books and start getting ready for some fun! A session fee of $350 and a little paperwork is all that’s required to reserve your spot.
I can’t wait to hear from you!
2: HAVE A FUN SESSION
Once we’re booked, I’ll send you my detailed guide to getting ready for your relaxed yet fun session. Sessions usually take place in/around your home or in a special location of your choice, and last around 1-2 hours. Once your images are ready, you’ll receive the link to your gallery of photos.
3: BRING YOUR PIXELS TO LIFE
Once you’ve had a chance to review your gallery of carefully edited photos, you’ll be able to choose how you want to bring them to life. I’ll walk you through the process so that you have a collection you are thrilled with. Nothing beats holding a family photograph in your hands, the memories it evokes, and the stories it prompts!
Collection prices start at $495. Please inquire for a complete price list.
About Lara
I’m a visual storyteller who loves capturing heartfelt human connection. My experience as a lifestyle photographer and visual storyteller—in addition to my training as a field biologist and educator—means I’m ready to adapt to any situation that may arise during our session. I love to improvise and delight in the unexpected.
Based in the Teton Mountains, I enjoy adventuring with my family, recreating in the mountains, tending my garden, watching good comedy, and listening to music. Click here for more info.
I have learned that it’s the photos I don’t take that I regret most.
I’m here to help you stop time, record the mundane, magical, and meaningful moments of right now.
We were impressed with how quickly she worked (a bonus with young children), yet how intimate and comfortable the overall experience felt; we never felt rushed. A great balance. When we saw the finished photos we were so incredibly happy: the expression and emotion she captured is evident in the photographs.

“If you were to ask me to define a photograph in a few words,
I would say it is “a fossil of light and time.”
