Laura was perfectly suited to photograph our family gathering. We had 2 very young babies, and Laura handled the challenges they presented, such as fear of sand and occasional crying, as the professional (and grandmother) she is. She got them to smile and she knew exactly which combinations of grandparents, children, individual family units, etc we wanted and needed. We did not have to ask her to alter what she planned. She waited on the right lighting conditions and photographed all of us in advantageous ways. There were loads of poses and combinations to please everyone. Thank you so much. It was a wonderful, once in a lifetime, memory-making moment which we will treasure!
