Hi beautiful, I’m Laura.

Welcome to Living Potential Photography

Okay… so you see that picture of me? Caked in make up, severely photoshopped and my skin looking flawless? Well, thats not ‘real’ life photography in my honest opinion. You should have seen the unedited version.

My kind of style of photography is capturing YOU in your essence. The TRUE YOU.

Not photoshopped to the max. But getting those real beautiful memories and images of you that you can never get back.

My mission is to capture the living potential of the moment. Like this other photo- taken by my partner on a very special summer day. All natural, happy, blissed out in Boulder, Colorado.

A moment I’ll never forget- because we captured it.

If you want me to capture you, the real you, then I would say we’re a perfect fit.

Let’s work together.

More to the story about my history with photography:

I discovered my passion for photography at age 11 when messing around with our family film camera. At age 13, I used my savings to buy my first Canon camera from Costco. My love for photography evolved ever since- always photographing my friends, family events or my many travels abroad. I love capturing the essence of life as it is in that moment.

Later, I studied with professional photographers and teachers at Santa Barbara City College. All of which were transplants from the once world renowned private art school called Brookes Institute for Photography.

There I was recognized as one of the top students of my class. My work was even showcased in the school gallery and I was invited to work with Sony at weekend workshops.

No matter where life takes me, photography will always be my first love.

I love capturing the true essence of people, places, nature, cultures, you name it! See examples at the bottom of this page :)

My goal is to provide you with stunning images while making it easy, enjoyable and effortless. From capturing your family or creating content for your business endeavors…

Let’s capture YOU.
