Hiring a professional photographer to capture your life's moments is an important decision.  In a typical portrait studio a photographer will usually pose your child or family.  While there is a place for portrait photography, more and more families are looking to capture the special moments of their children laughing, playing, and having fun.  Laurie Hartwell Photography allows you to choose your own setting so that your family will feel comfortable and relaxed.  A park, the beach, a pool, or even your own backyard are ideal locations for capturing your children doing what they do best…. Being kids!  At a portrait studio you only have a certain number of images to choose from and you are expected to make a decision without much time to deliberate.  With Laurie Hartwell Photography you receive all the rights to your images on a CD.   I look forward to working with you!
