Meet Laurie

I am a wife, a mother to two amazing daughters, and a permanent belly scratcher to my two furry pups, Piper and Penny. When I’m not working, I can be found cheering for my kids on the basketball or volleyball court, traveling with my family, or hanging on the couch enjoying a Netflix binge (while simultaneously filling my Amazon shopping cart). 

I started my photography career in 2010 when I left the corporate world to stay home and take care of my two girls. After realizing that stay-at-home-mom life was HARD, I enrolled in some local photography courses to give myself a break from the kiddos and tap into my creative side. I needed some “me” time, and I fell in love!

I continued to grow my passion and expand my photography education by training in-person with some of the world’s best newborn and family photographers.  I have been very fortunate to turn my passion into a career and am proud that my first clients are still my clients today!

I love my “job;” the perks are amazing: meeting new people, snuggling sweet babes, and making new friends - all while capturing memories that will last a lifetime.


Meet Katie

I am a wife and “#blessed” mom to 5 kids including 4 boys and 1 daughter (and another daughter on the way!!) whom I would do anything for. I am a stay at home mom who loves taking care of my kiddos, but as they got older and started school, I found myself with more free time on my hands.

I have always had a passion for doing all things crafty, so when the opportunity presented itself to work with my good friend Laurie, and her personal photography business, I jumped on it. We have been friends for 10 years...since the morning we met registering our now teenagers into preschool!!

I enjoy collaborating with all of LCE’s clients. I help them bring their vision to reality. For cake smash sessions, I make banners, collect props and help design setups for shoots. It brings me great joy to see the little projects come to fruition and the kids smiles in their final images. I also manage Laurie’s schedule…often coordinating back and forth with clients to find that perfect date and time. I also email out all that boring paperwork! Sorry! I blame Laurie. She makes me.

My other passion involves fitness, and I thoroughly enjoy going to the gym and pushing myself to the max to achieve my desired fitness goals. Working out helps bring a calm to my daily life of juggling the activities for a family of 7 (almost 8!). I am also a fitness instructor and love helping my clients achieve their fitness goals.

My schedule is often hectic, however I wouldn’t change it for the world, I get great joy being a mom and helping people.
