Nothing is more important to me than giving you
the experience you deserve.

Connection truly is at the heart of what I do. The photos you see represented on my website are created in collaboration with the people I photograph.
Read below to learn a bit more about what it’s like to work together.

“After having a kid, I quickly realized that I took all the pictures of our family so I am never in the photo.
Lara has been beautifully documenting our family for three years and we cherish each and every moment that she captures. One of my regrets in life is not having photos from the day our son was born in our home. If I could turn back time, I would have had Lara capture the moments from that crazy day. I'd almost have another baby just for some beautiful pictures by Lara. Almost.”

“Lara saw right into the heart of our family and captured us with love. My wife, always squeamish in front of a camera, relaxed with Lara's gentle coaching. My kids shone with Lara's attention. Her photos of us are intimate, beautiful, and capture the spirit of our family exactly. We will cherish her photos always.”

— Liz + Jen

“With two young, squirmy, silly daughters, ages 5 and 11 months, it is hard to feel like a relaxed, effortless, casually happy photo is possible, but Lara captured beautiful moments. In conversation, she was attentive to our family’s goals and during the session she was sensitive to our needs. She worked with the outdoor space, taking advantage of lighting and backdrop, providing variety for us to choose from later, while also keeping in mind how changing scenery could affect our girls’ cooperation.

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.

We are not a family who typically sits for photos, but this experience with Lara really opened us up to doing so again in the future, with her. ”

— Jaclyn + David

“Lara is an amazing family photographer. She is very accommodating to everyone's needs and visions. My family had a wonderful time on our photo shoot. We were all thrilled with the photographs. I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for a keepsake portrait that will resonate with your family for generations.”

— Ansley + Rafe

“Our family was honored to have time with Lara when our son was a mere month old. She took a fun visit with friends and family and captured tender memories that are so hard for us to remember at this point. Our time was a mix of fun and photography, to help the family get comfortable behind the lens.

Lara demonstrated skill with managing a low-light situation, after helping us deal with an unexpected newborn situation on her beautiful sheets! In spite of the excitement, she was able to capture our bundle and graciously continue making the most of our time together. We are so grateful for the images from that session.”

— Tania + Chan

“We had the pleasure of welcoming Lara into our home for a family session to capture the little moments with our son that are flying by much too quickly. She blended seamlessly into our family routine as we snuggled on the couch, read our favorite book, and held our little one close.

She captured the precious memories I don’t want to forget and the most tiny details of our day to day life that make being a family such a beautiful journey.”

— Martha + Alex

“We always admired other people’s photos but were hesitant about getting professional photos done ourselves. Lara made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera and catered to our families needs. We had a blast with the whole experience. She truly captured “us”.

— Chelsea + Ryan

“She said: What do you most want to remember about this time? I said I can’t remember anything. That I let him get as dirty as he wanted. That I let him play naked all damn day every day. She said, You go get ready, I’ll chase him. I brushed my teeth. Didn’t worry about the greasy hair. Have a cocktail, she joked. I poured the vodka. [Lara] captured…our lives so perfectly.

More amazing, though?? That through her lens she reminded us of the sweetness and joy this challenging time holds. Have I showered in a week? No. But am I the luckiest woman to share the lives of these three boys? Damn straight. I think you will see Lara’s gift. Luka is motion in motion, but Lara is art in motion. If you live near the Tetons, or have an event you’d love to have artfully, gracefully and joyfully captured, call Lara. She makes the joy of living permanent for us to see.”

— Linsey + Nikolai

“Lara works magic with her camera. She was able to put all of us at ease to capture both the love and playfulness of our family. Our experience with her was not only comfortable, but joyful as well. My husband, who is always resistant to having his picture taken, was fairly hesitant about the whole thing. After our session, he turned to me in the car and thanked me for making the experience happen. From the first conversation with Lara to receiving the final prints, she exhibited the utmost professionalism and care in capturing us as we are. Lara’s photos are one of our most treasured possessions, and will be for generations.”

— Emily + Collins

“As our pregnancy progressed, it dawned on us that we had not captured the happiness that we had already cultivated in our family of three: my husband, myself, and our beloved dog, Elliott. The love that we felt for each other was important to us to remember and cherish. In an afternoon of chatting, laughing, and walking around our home, Lara managed to fit easily into conversation and take many beautiful photographs in the process!

The love that we hoped to capture was so transparent and genuine in the photographs that Lara took. We are forever grateful and appreciative of the experience we had with the Lara and the lasting memories that she has helped us create. We look forward to working with Lara again when our baby girl comes into this world! And in the future as our family ages! ”

— Erin + Andy

“We have had the pleasure of having Lara photograph our family on two occasions. The photos from both sessions have brought happy tears to my eyes as she has a way of capturing the seemingly small moments that I know we will treasure in the years to come. It’s hard to imagine right now but I know the dimpled knuckled face squeezes and the magic of chasing bubbles won’t last forever.”

— Erica + Davin

“Lara’s photography is nothing short of art. She so beautifully uses her gift to capture moments that most don’t realize are even happening, but that we all cherish so fiercely once we do. We’ve been fortunate to have Lara photograph our growing family on three very memorable occasions and will certainly continue to have her do so in the future. Her photography skills are second to none and she effortlessly makes everyone in the room feel at ease. As someone who generally feels anxious in these types of situations, I can attest that Lara feels like an old friend even the first time you meet her and melts those anxieties away; all a testament to her passion and professionalism. Families grow and time passes quickly, but the moments Lara is able to capture are ones you will cherish forever.”
