“This is How you Make a Memory Last”
Why Maternity Photographs are Important!
You Deserve It.
As already previous stated…being pregnant is hard! Maybe you’ve had weeks of sickness, or your sciatica is acting up, or you just can’t stop waddling!
This is a chance for you to get dolled up, to put on a nice outfit (or not ;) and feel good!
Oh, and get a fun treat afterwards!
A Special Time.
You won’t be pregnant forever…thank goodness! Those little feet in your ribs, the heart burn, the sweat “glow”
But really, Jokes aside, it really is such a short time in your journey as a parent.
There really is something so magical about feeling those flutters and those hiccups and although you haven’t met your baby yet, knowing exactly their personalities!
I truly believe that documenting big moments in our lives is really important…and this is a big one!
Your Future Self will Thank You!
A regret I have is not having any photos of myself while I was pregnant. I have three babies! I only have a few sad phone snapshots. I would love to have beautiful photographs of myself to show my kids…and so would they.
These photographs can be for you or for your kids…either way…they are something special and a keepsake you’ll enjoy looking back on.
What Can I Offer You
Guidance.
I will help you with knowing what to wear and where to put your hands and twist your hips to help make you look your very best and the hot momma you are!
Air Conditioning.
But really…when you are pregnant…you can get so HOT. and SWEATY! Come to the studio and enjoy the AC and the fan that I point directly at you!
I had a late July baby. Trust me…AC is a huge pro!
Family Centered.
I love families. I love that you are starting (or adding) to your family!
Do you want to bring your partner and kids to your session? Bring them! Wanna leave them at home? I get that too!

If you choose to have photos taken of yourself with the sheer draping, I’ll discuss with you on how to prepare yourself and what to wear to the studio.

Hi! I’m LAURA!
My family and I have lived in Spanish Fork for the last ten years. We have grown to love Utah County and all the beautiful outdoor sites that surround us.
As a family we love going to Payson Lakes, Bridal Veil Falls, and Hobble Creek Canyon.
My husband is a graphic designer and works for BYU Broadcasting in Provo, creating amazing marketing content to help promote their shows. The kids and I love visiting him at work and while we’re there, on campus going to the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum or BYU MOA.
I am originally from Idaho and grew up on a dairy farm with three older brothers. I attended BYU-Idaho, where I earned a BFA degree in Photography.
I have over 15 years of experience photographing families and children and absolutely adore what I do.
