Welcome, Business Owners!

I'm Laura, a mid-Michigan branding photographer and strong believer in bringing back small, local businesses. I love helping small shop owners like yourself create eye-catching, scroll-stopping images that attract customers and bring in more sales!


I offer both flat-lay and modeled photos, great for site listings as well as social media posts.


My goal is to use my 14+ years of photography experience to help you gain traction in the online world of commerce. I can't wait to work with you!

Commercial product photography


Your products need a chance to be seen in the best light (literally). High-quality, well lit, and beautifully styled product photos make all the difference in the crowded world of e-commerce by grabbing customer attention and driving sales. Whether you're launching a new brand or refreshing your existing catalog, I can help you create images that stand out from the crowd!


The professional images I capture of your products can be used across the web, for Shopify shops, Etsy listings, websites, and social media.


I have photographed products for brands around the world from my studio in central Michigan, and I would love to photograph yours as well!
