Hey there, I'm Laura—a cheerful, positive, and passionate single mom of three who finds immense joy in creating art through my lens. Photography serves as a form of escape and relaxation for me. While I now call Wilmington, North Carolina, my home I am orginally New Jersey. My camera often leads me to various places to capture photos for my clients, and I fell in love with the coast of New Hanover, NC!


Here's a little surprise about me: I physically can't yell (a quirk my friends and family love). I speak softly due to a rare neurological voice disorder.


Now, for another shocker: I'm a skateboarder ( since I was 14) and since moving to Wrightsville Beach, I'm learning how to surf! Yes, even in my 40s, I'm still riding. A recent highlight was a professional skateboarder sharing my photos I snapped of him on his Instagram!


I have a Rutgers certificate in Social Media Marketing (OMCP) and can talk about marketing 24/7! It sparks so much joy!


If you're in the Wilmington area and searching for a skilled photographer with a passion images that spark joy for you, your family or your clients I'm your gal!

—New testimonial

“Thank you for making this experience more pleasant than had anticipated. I've never had professional photos taken and was skeptical but wanted to try as I'm looking for a new job and wanted to update my social media accounts for prospective employers. I've gotten more likes and comments on these photos than any other I've posted. Appreciate the help.
Matthew S.”
