Elevated portraits
to capture this

SCROLL TO BEGIN

Pure Life Photography captures all that new baby bliss and turns it into art to fill your home with memories.

That's what full service portrait photography is all about. I don't just take the photos, I create the experience that makes you feel beautiful and celebrated (that means a whole lot of pampering, Mama). Then we turn that experience into custom, meaningful art that'll fill your home and your family.

mom to mom:

“She really makes everything seamless and stress free, pampers her mamas with professional hair/makeup, has the cutest wardrobe for the whole family and overall makes it a really enjoyable and wonderful experience! Thank you, Laura!”

- Kristyn

can i tell you something?

this is the sort of photo experience i wish I'd Had as a new mom

You know those "few quick snapshots and a pile of digitals" sort of deals? That's all I have of my kids as babies.  The photos live on a thumb drive at the back of a drawer, gathering digital dust.  I wish I'd set aside time for an experience like this, with someone taking care of my and helping me feel beautiful in my new Mom body, capturing the milestones of their first year in photos.  

Instead of just sitting on those wishes, I decided to create the service I wanted.  And now as a Jacksonville newborn and maternity photographer, I share that elevated photo experience with new moms (and moms to be!) like you.

art made to keep

creating art is one way
i               of you

Did you know that being surrounded by family photos can give kids confidence and a stronger sense of self? It’s true! Also, there’s just so much meaning in wall art and albums that feel personal to you as a family. 

That’s why helping families not only create those photos, but actually get them into their home and on their walls is a huge part of what I do. It all goes back to taking care.

The sessions

To fit your family, I offer a variety of photography options, from single sessions to the First Year Collective, which sees me personally building your gallery wall and creating a year-long album of our milestone photo sessions.


 
               

“It was amazing to watch the care she took in the pregnancy and newborn 
sessions for my daughter, son in law and grandbaby. The pictures are a beautiful reflection of her calming nature and ability to put everyone at ease, creating a comfortable atmosphere!”
—Suzy

Laura is excellent with both adults and newborns!
