I'm a fine art film photographer and entrepreneur, living my best life on the most beautiful place on earth. When I'm not busy shooting, you can find me exploring the islands. I'm obsessed with discovering new hikes, secluded beaches, daily morning walks around iconic Diamond Head, cruising on my moped, blissing out on my paddle board, and catching sunrise or sunset as often as I can!
Laura is such a special find - she not only took amazing photos for our engagement session, but blew us away with our wedding photos. Truly spectacular, with a creative approach that made for some very special shots. Beyond her fantastic photography, Laura was just a gem to work with throughout the entire experience. Both my husband and I felt like she was more of a friend by the end - her attitude was so great, and put us at ease right away.
We decided to take photos before the ceremony, and I felt like Laura and her assistant allowed us to have our moment without forcing a formality that would have ruined that emotional/special time for us.

I'm so excited you found my little corner of the internet!
I'm Laura, a fine art film photographer with a background in design and architecture.
My creative pursuits led to photography and I began shooting weddings way back in 2007 in my hometown of Minneapolis.
For over a decade I built a successful business, working with my dream clients and the best of the best planners, florists, and vendors!
Even though I had a life and career I loved, I've always had a major case of wanderlust, and adventure was calling.

I believe life is short and any excuse is a good excuse to capture your story!
I love documenting couples at any stage - engaged, just married, celebrating an anniversary, or even just-because.
Because isn't just being in Hawaii reason enough?! We're going to create some epic photos, and we're gonna have a blast doing it!
I capture all couples sessions on film.
Yes, film.
Like old-school film!
Film has a beautiful, ethereal quality, that digital just can't replicate.
If you want classic yet fun, true-to-life images, with vibrant colors and a look that will never go out of style, I'm the gal for you!

I love documenting families at every stage - whether your kids are 2 or 22; whether you live here in Hawaii, or want to capture those once-in-a-lifetime vacay memories.
I will give you plenty of guidance (don't worry about where to put your hands, I got you!), but also allow for you and your family to play, interact, and love on each other.
All while highlighting that stunning Hawaiian backdrop.

Though I call Oahu home, I'm available for weddings, elopements and portrait sessions on any of the Hawaiian Islands, or anywhere in the world.
I've traveled to Maui, Kauai and the Big Island more times than I can count.
For work and play.
I know the islands well!
For travel to outer islands, I charge my standard session or wedding fees + affordable travel to cover the basics.
Reach out for more information - inter island travel is easier than you might think.
And, let's be honest, I'm looking for any excuse to hop a flight to wherever you might be!
