Senior portraits are a celebration of youth, achievement, and the exciting journey ahead. I have an ability to connect with my senior clients, put them at ease and allow their personalities to shine through. Whether choosing a vibrant urban backdrop in Louisville or a serene park in Oldham County, I work closely with each person to select locations that resonate with their style and interests. I love this time of life for young people. You are our future and I wish to capture this special time and send you off into the future loving yourself a bit more and knowing you hold the world in your hands.
I cannot recommend Laura enough. She is so beyond a “pose and shoot” photographer. She quickly gets to know them. Establishes a relationship with them in minutes, and is able to capture who they are. I can see their personalities and imagine what the conversation must have been when she snapped the photo. My kids walked away with more confidence than they had before they met her. She just has an organic way about her. So check her out. You won’t be disappointed!

Yes! If you want to become a rep, I will hook you up. Get in touch and we can talk about it.
This experience is whatever you want it to be. I strive to make it as fun as I can. There is no pressure to do or be anything other than yourself. I am very easy going and will not pressure you into anything you aren't comfortable with. I appreciate you just as you are and all I care about is if you feel good after it is over.
We can keep it very simple or go all out. It is my job to capture who YOU are at this special time in your life. All you have to do its show up and embrace the experience.
If you have any specific questions, I will gladly answer. Just ask!
It depends on which Option you choose. More time, more pictures.
Pro-tip. I usually give more than expected.
Some of my favorite locations are:
Creasey-Mahan Nature Preserve in Goshen
Anchorage Trail
The Parklands
Cherokee Park
Nulu
The Highlands
Farmington
Locust Grove
There are locations like Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood and Black Acre Farm both of which require a permit fee to use.
If a location is out of town there is a travel fee added to the fee.
If there is a place you have in mind, or something unique you want to do, please let me know. I have gone up in an airplane for a session, so I am up for anything.
Wear what flatters you. Feel free to express yourself.
The more options we have the better. It can always be narrowed down.
Think about what season you like best and that may help you decide. Each season feels and looks different, so pick your favorite one to shoot in. A few people have done both spring and fall.
I suggest keeping the colors neutral with pops of color and accessories to accent. Nothing too bright, unless it is white. Black is always a good idea.
Girls should consider getting their hair and makeup done. Guys should get a clean shave and haircut. It makes a huge difference in how your pictures come out.
Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes, also hair spray and a brush.
Extra makeup is recommended. The camera washes it away. Having your hair and make-up done professionally is a good idea. You will be much happier with your photos.
For the guys, clean shave and fresh haircut are highly recommended.
Eat something beforehand and bring some water if it is hot. Trust me on this one.
Bring a good friend! They can assist with clothing changes and share the experience with you.
Your photos are typically ready for viewing within one week, depending on how many people are in front of you.
Light is everything for me, so early morning right after sunrise, or a couple hours before sunset is best. I can also bring light to help if needed but the best times are when the light is prime.
I do not work on Sundays unless there is no way around it because of conflicts with weather, etc.
Yes absolutely! Although I do not over-process, I do fix blemishes and boost colors. Sometimes I use filters or process more artistically, but I always work on each image one at a time to make it the best I can.
