What others are saying about Laura Mares Photography.
Laura is truly an amazing photographer! Her attention to detail and her expertise and quick skills allowed us to capture wonderful first birthday memories that we will cherish forever. Her photographs tell a story of our little boy’s personality and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Laura!!!
– Chelsea, 1st Birthday Session
Laura was amazing with every aspect of the experience. She showed up right on time. She was very patient and accommodating with the different shots we were looking for. With a newborn, things take a little bit longer and Laura was very patient with us and there was zero rush. She was very quick with the edits on our photos and they all turned out amazing. It was difficult to choose our favorites because there were so many. We will be contacting Laura for future family photos as well!
– David, Newborn Lifestyle Session
We had the best experience with Laura. This was our first professional photography session and Laura made it very straight ward and easy, no stress at all. She was very flexible with the scheduling, very open to our suggestions, very skilled with her photo shots, and just nice all around. We love our photographs and will be looking for more later for our next child!
