hello
I’m Laurie LaPorte, the owner of Laurie LaPorte Photography, and I’m passionate about capturing your family’s journey—from your baby’s first breath to their final months of high school. There’s a beautiful chaos in building and loving a family, and I strive to preserve that through the art of photography.
One client shared: "We had an in-home newborn session with Laurie, and she was great! She was so patient as our little one was a bit fussy. The gallery was delivered days before promised and turned out incredible. 10/10 recommend Laurie for your family photography needs!"
When I’m not photographing fresh babies and growing families, you’ll find me in Henniker, New Hampshire, with my husband, our three boys, two cats, and a dog. I love coffee, thrifting, Hallmark movies, decorating, and cheering on my kids from the sidelines. Our home is its own kind of beautiful chaos, which I’ve been documenting daily since starting my first 365 Project on January 1, 2020.
I’m a self-taught photographer who finds beauty in the everyday moments of family life. My work has been featured in local galleries, and I’ve collaborated with brands such as Natursutten, Jonas Paul Eyewear, and Lulla Doll.
I approach photography with a simple philosophy: I take the photos I’d want of my own children. I aim to capture the personality, connection, and perfectly imperfect moments of birth, the newborn days, childhood, and family life.
Let’s tell your family’s story—one real, beautiful moment at a time.
Please note: I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as well as up to date on all of my other vaccinations, including (but not limited to) Tdap, flu, and MMR.
How this works:
1
Book Online
Gone are the days of emailing back and forth 15 times to find the perfect session date. You can pick your session date from my online calendar, sign your contract, and pay your deposit in one sitting! I'll message you to confirm your date and the next steps. Expectant parents can pick an approximate date, and we'll confirm your date when the baby arrives. You'll get information about preparing so you can feel confident for your session.

Your Session
Birth sessions occur in your birth space (on the baby's schedule). Newborn sessions will be held at your home at about 10 a.m. Outdoor family, senior, and maternity sessions will be scheduled about an hour before sunset. I'll walk you through the process as we go, so you won't have to guess how to stand or where to place your hand. My goal is to make you and your family feel great and not worry about how the pictures will turn out—it will be easy and go smoothly, so there is no need to worry!

After the Session
Your contract will outline how long before you see your photos, but I'll make sure to go over that with you. All the session's images will be delivered to you in a private online gallery. You'll download from your gallery and have to option to order prints. If your session includes a complimentary album, you'll receive that within 4 weeks of viewing your gallery.
