Pure Innocence {Provo Newborn Photography}
September 18, 2009I adore newborns. I love their wonderful scents and their perfect little bodies. Here are two favorites for now…


About Me
Hi, welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy your stay. My name is Laura and this is where I showcase some of my recent sessions. I enjoy capturing memories through photographs. I tend to like to keep things simple. I like to focus on the "windows to our soul"-- the eyes. I feel a photograph should speak to you through the eyes.
I shoot on location and in studio in Heber City, UT. I am available for travel worldwide. Please let me know how I can help capture your memories...it Means A Lot to me.
Call me at 435-503-1940 or email: laurameans@me.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
Photographers: I do offer one-on-one mentorships. Please contact me for more details.

I am running a little behind on getting your gallery up. There are just so many good ones that it is taking a little longer than normal to edit. It will be soon though! In the mean time, here are a few more of Sweet Little Alex. Enjoy!



I thought this one warranted a little more of a vintage processing on it…

I really need to get caught up on my blogging of the recent sessions. For now, here is Daniel. He’s the oldest of 5 kids and wanted some pictures in studio. He is a big fan of Twilight so we did a few “moodier” shots as well.

Inspiration taken from the new Star Trek movie posters…
A fun one!
And one his mother will love….

Daniel: Awesome Mom will love that last one! Thank you!
Kelleen Potter: As always,, you're amazing. Yes! I do love the last one!! Thanx for taking humoring him!
Kelleen Potter: Or rather, thanks for humoring him.

Marisa(:: awhh daniel my little model cousin!! these pictures are so stinkin cute!! and the one of hannah is gorgeous too!!
Right now my family and I are taking a much needed vacaion in San Diego. We just spent an amazingly gorgeous day at the beach and are truly loving the California sun right now. I have quite a few family sessions scheduled in the next couple of weeks and the number one question I get asked is… What should we wear? Well I hope to help answer that question with some California inspired outfits that are available now at local retailers…
I love these blue and lime green outfits. They scream SUMMER to me!

If the lime green is too bright for you, the more organic green in this combo is to die for!

I am a huge fan of black and white and Old Navy has quite the offering of black and white outfits right now…
If you need help choosing the perfect clothing for your portrait session, feel free to ask!
I had so much fun capturing this mom’s pregnancy. She has an absolutely perfect round belly. We started in the studio and then were blessed with good weather to head outside for a bit. Enjoy your sneak peek. I can’t wait to meet your little man!
