about
Laura Mae, Cape Girardeau Missouri wedding and maternity photographer

The moment I clicked my first shutter button, I knew there was no other profession for me.

More than a decade later, I am just as obsessed with photography as I was on day one. I am endlessly inspired by love. Every woman, every wedding, and every family brings a unique perspective, story, and beauty into my world and my life has been enriched by it.

I have always been a dreamer. Growing up, I was often told to think smaller, be more realistic, and set my sights a little lower.

I'm grateful I never learned how.

After all these years, I still believe this is one of the best jobs in the world.

That same imagination fuels everything I create today. I love dreaming up ideas, finding the perfect light, and creating imagery as unique as the people in it. The opportunity to blend artistry with human connection is something I never take for granted, and it has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

Some people collect things.

I collect ideas.

The way a color can change how someone feels.

The way a piece of fabric catches the wind.

The way beauty can be found in darkness.

A giggle from my daughter.

A quiet moment before chaos.

A story someone tells me in passing.

The feeling a photograph leaves behind long after you’ve stopped looking at it.

Because every extraordinary moment is made up of a thousand ordinary ones.
