Hey! I’m Laini.

(Pronounced “Lay-Nee”) My passion for the art of photography has been a lifelong journey. Self-taught and deeply dedicated, I've poured years of practice, concentration, and affection into honing my craft. Even before that, I was the one in school who eagerly asked friends and family to be my portrait subjects or captured the natural landscapes that caught my attention.

I see beauty in everything and I love getting to show people the world through my eyes. Being able to share the joy of a beautiful photo is so exciting; it’s happy dances while taking the photo & running over to show you the back of my camera. Seeing the spark in your eyes as you recognize your beauty, love, and our vision coming to life is my favorite. I’m glad you’re here and considering the possibility of your next portrait session!

I’m so motivated by giving people gorgeous images that make them happy. My goal overall is to give you an album that freezes time for you, I want you to look back at these photos and be transported to this time in your life and feel the moment again and again.

I am passionate about capturing the genuine essence of you and your family. I thrive in lively homes with energetic children and too many pets, finding beauty in the delightful chaos. You can wrestle on the floor of your children's childhood home, run through wildflower fields, ride horses through scenic terrain, or chase your babies through a sprinkler outside. I can’t wait to truly document this moment in time. My goal is to preserve these precious memories, showcasing the authentic and beautiful spirit of your family just as it is.

I hope you get large prints to hang on your walls, or create a physical album that you can sit and look through together. I want to give you photos that invoke emotion for years to come, every time you look at them; photos that won’t go out of style and you won’t get tired of seeing. I take pride in delivering images that represent you.

I’m looking forward to discussing your visions for your next portrait session, I know we’ll create something timeless and beautiful. Below is my contact information if you have any other questions, or just want to meet up for a chat about your ideas! I can’t wait to meet you.
