  • Welcome to the elle images blog!

    Hello! Welcome to the elle images blog and thanks so much for stopping by! This is where you will find my most recent work.

    A little info about me... my name is Laura, and I am the owner and photographer of elle images. I was born and raise in Aloha, Oregon but I have always been a sunshine girl which is a big reason why I found myself in Arizona for my last years of college. The other main thing that pulled me in that direction were my nieces, who lived there at that time. A big piece of my heart will always be in Arizona with the beautiful sunsets and some of the most amazing people I have been fortunate enough to know in my life. One thing that has been consistent is that I have always been Auntie Laura before anything else, and I am so thankful for that. After getting my degree in photography from Northern Arizona University, I decided to move back to the Great Northwest (had to follow my nieces again). I started elle images in 2005 and I feel so grateful to have had the amazing clients that I have over the years, along with the support from my friends and family. And also starting my business lead me to meet my husband while we were both shooting a wedding in 2007. He is a wedding videographer and we are about to welcome a baby into the world. I can't wait to share photos of my little guy! It has been an amazing journey so far and I look forward to seeing where elle images take me in the future!

    I specialize in wedding and portrait photography and I absolutely love what I do. Being able to share special moments with people in their lives and create record of those memories for them makes me thankful everyday. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Matt & Maria|Wedding Photography

Thursday, May 17, 2012 Posted in Weddings

On April 14th I got the opportunity to shoot my first wedding in Arizona! I went to school in AZ and have some of my favorite memories with some of my favorite people in this beautiful state so I was thrilled to get to finally work where I love to play.:)Matt & Maria were such a joy to photograph too. They were so relaxed in front of the camera and totally focused on each other which makes for perfect photos! It was easy to see that they are clearly best friends and totally in love. I am so happy that I got to shoot this wedding and to be a part of it all and I hope I will get the opportunity for more weddings in the desert! Thanks so much Matt & Maria and congratulations on your beautiful wedding day!

Kadence|Newborn Photography

Thursday, May 3, 2012 Posted in Babies

Kadence is such a little beauty! She was so sweet and relaxed during our entire shoot making my job very easy that day. Julia and Rawley were very relaxed as well and seem to be taking on their new roles as Mom and Dad with such ease. Julia is a choir teacher and it was lovely listening to her sing lullabies to Kadence. So sweet! Congratulations on your perfect little girl and thank you for having me take photos of her!!! Hope she is still being a great sleeper for you guys!

Dodson Family|Family Photography

Monday, April 30, 2012 Posted in Children, Families

Meet the beautiful Dodson family! Kevin, Susan, and little John were so much fun to spend the day with and very easy to take photos of too. They are a family of models:)I mean seriously, just look at them! And their home was absolutely beautiful too! It was Kevin’s home growing up too so there are lots of special memories already created there and many more to come! Our families share a beach house as well so I know we will all have lots of fun times together in the sand! They let me bring my baby Hayden (and Hayden’s Grandma) along for the shoot and John shared his toys so well! Thank you all for such a fun day!undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Kyle & Brittany|Wedding Photography

Thursday, April 26, 2012 Posted in Weddings

On March 23rd Kyle & Brittany got married at the new Chapel at Abernethy. We lucked out with an absolutely beautiful day and I can honestly say this venue is now one of my new favorites. The interior and exterior of the church are both so beautiful and the surrounding area has so many great spots to work with all so close together… it is awesome. It was a little chilly that day but with blue skies like that we had to shoot outside as much as we could, my apologies to the frozen bridesmaids.:)Brittany looked beautiful and I love how these photos turned out! Congrats to Kyle & Brittany!!!undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Danielle|Maternity Photography

Monday, March 26, 2012 Posted in Bellies

My wonderful friend Danielle is about to become a mama! She will be the best mom ever and I am so excited for her, but also excited for me because we can go for mom walks together and have play “coffee” dates. It will be so much fun. Not to mention becoming a mom is the most incredible experience ever!!!

I shot Danielle and Mike’s wedding last June and I would have to say that I have never seen Danielle look more beautiful than on her wedding day, so full of love, but now I believe she has never been more beautiful than she is as a mama to be, and I am sure once she is holding that baby in her arms she will top herself again.:)With all the traits from these two they are going to make one awesome kid. It will likely be a great athlete, incredibly creative, very funny, have great taste in music (hopefully a Bob Marley fan for Mike’s sake), and of course be super cute. I really can’t wait to meet him or her!!!

These photos are the first half of our shoot, taken at their lovely home… the weather took a turn that day so we are waiting for a clear day to shoot the second half outdoors, so more to come soon, but I just loved these too much not to share them right away.

Love you Mike, Danielle, and Baby McGrain!!!
