Photography with Flair
 
 

the One behind the camera

channeling all of my creative chaos into visual art.

Hi there—I’m Laura, an Atascadero photographer, mom, opera singer, k-pop songwriter, and gamer. I fell in love with photography around 2015, after the birth of my son. What started as a hobby quickly spiraled into the start of a new love and business adventure. I specialize in every avenue of portrait photography: Seniors, Families, Maternity, Branding, Elopements… If it involves making people look awesome, then I’m in! When I’m not taking pictures, you can find me mountain biking with my family or cuddling with my cats, reading a good book.

We run our business by our key beliefs.

 

01. always be kind

At the heart of every photograph is a real human moment, and kindness is what helps bring it to the surface. Approaching each session with empathy creates space for people to breathe, be themselves, and feel truly seen. When clients feel cared for, supported, and understood, the walls come down—and that’s when the most honest, beautiful images happen. Kindness isn’t just a principle; it’s the foundation of meaningful photography.

02. always celebrate

We should always celebrate because life is made up of fleeting, extraordinary little moments that deserve to be noticed and honored. Celebration slows us down just long enough to recognize the beauty in our everyday victories, our milestones, and even the quiet in-betweens. Photography exists for this very reason—it turns those moments into something we can hold onto. A celebration captured becomes a memory preserved, a reminder that joy is worth pausing for and that our stories deserve to be seen, remembered, and cherished.

03. always be authentic

Authenticity is at the heart of powerful photography because it preserves the real, unpolished moments that make each story meaningful. When you stay true to who you are and encourage your clients to do the same, the images become more than just beautiful—they become honest reflections of personality, emotion, and connection. Authenticity builds trust, invites vulnerability, and allows your work to resonate on a deeper, more human level.

04. always have a plan

Having a plan creates the foundation for a smooth, stress-free photography experience. It allows us to walk into every session with intention—knowing the locations, the lighting, the timing, and the mood we want to create. Photography is equal parts spontaneity and strategy, and a solid plan ensures we’re ready for both. When we prepare thoughtfully, we free ourselves to be creative in the moment and adapt gracefully when the unexpected happens. A plan isn’t about rigidity—it’s about creating space for your story to unfold beautifully.
