I'm going to be your third wheel on your wedding day, welcomed into your home to capture your precious new baby & interacting with your children! I want you to feel comfortable and at ease with me. Previously I was a preschool teacher and have many years of babysitting experience. I completely understand children and their moods & behaviors and approach them with patience and kindness.
I believe in real moments, in the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together- the tiny details. Images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come, beyond that photo of everyone looking and smiling.
Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

Hey I'm LAURIE BETH
I know this because I have my own!
Even though we all know life isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Emotional moments come from realizing where you are in life and all accomplished - the good and the hard.
Even with its ups and downs, your life, and your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!
YOUR LOVE STORY,
YOUR PREGNANCY & JOURNEY INTO PARENTHOOD IS UNIQUE.

On top of being a mother myself to two, a boy & a girl.
I'm one of 5 girls, and we are close, maybe even closer now in our adulthood then before!
Sunday's were always family "dinner" (really lunch) and you could find us, all together enjoying our time together eating and relaxing. Time together is my favorite now watching our kids play and grow up together!

I'm guilty of being a reality TV junkie, but I think it's because I'm really all about love stories regardless of how they unfold. I can't say for sure but TLC's a Wedding Story & Baby Story - played after school everyday definitely influenced my love of weddings and babies. In college I would watch videographers wedding videos, and find myself tearing up, for people I didn't even know.

Our wedding day wasn't held in a typical wedding venue location. The ceremony was held in the church I grew up in & my grandfather helped build. Following we had our wedding reception at The Crayola Factory in Easton, and to this day I do not regret it! We did a butterfly release because in middle school, I wanted to be a lepidopterist - a butterfly scientist.
I jumped in a fountain after my wedding day & still one of my most memorable moments!

You see photographer was never on my radar, or something I hoped and dreamed of becoming. In fact, it was the opposite, I despised it. I didn't see it as anything special, that it wasn't something creative like the visual arts, which I studied. That was until I photographed portraits, and finally connected a love and a realization of just how valuable photography is and how it is an art. Getting to capture people for who they are!
