I chose Lara Ann Photography for my family portraits because of her focus on light and airy photos that are more lifestyle and not too posed. I love the photographs I got from my family session with Lara. She works well with cranky babies and even family members who hate their pictures taken She was able to complete our family session in less than an hour with tons of amazing pictures to choose from. Do not hesitate to choose Lara as your photographer!

"Lara is an amazing photographer! We highly recommend her. We wanted pictures that felt natural and light for our family. Lara was able to capture the style and feel we wanted perfectly. She was so great to work with and was a huge help with guiding us to have natural poses while capturing real interactions. Not to mention she also has an amazing eye for detail and made sure that everything was in the right place. We love her and love our pictures!"
AMY & AARON
Lara was amazing to work with on our newborn photos. She really thought of everything, from the right time of day to get the best light in our home, to extra cushions/blankets for posing, to understanding the style and aesthetic we liked. She was also so understanding whenever baby started crying, giving us plenty of time and space to feed him or calm him and still getting some cute shots of even the crying moments. We love the way our photos came out and Lara made the experience so easy on us.
