Meet the Woman Behind the camera
Hi there! My name is Laura and I’m a self-taught photographer with a love for bright color, rich tones and the little details that make life feel wonderfully alive.
The name Piquant comes from a word often used to describe food — something sharp, flavorful, lively and full of character. And isn’t that what life is, too? A little sweet, a little unexpected, sometimes messy, always full of flavor. Those are the moments I want to photograph.
It all began with photographing my everyday life — school days, afternoons at home, the ordinary moments that somehow become the ones we treasure most. Before long, others began asking me to photograph their lives, too. What started as a way to preserve my own memories became a way of preserving yours.
My photography is vibrant and colorful, with a touch of film-inspired nostalgia. I’m drawn to images that feel alive — photographs you can almost step back into years later.
Above all, I believe photographs are meant to be lived with, held onto and passed down. To me, photography is about more than documenting a moment; it’s about preserving the flavor of a life.
A philosophy inspired by my beloved aunt: enjoy life’s moments.
That’s Piquant Life.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I offer couples, graduation, portrait and other special-moment sessions. Unfortunately, my wedding photography days are behind me! I’m a full-time corporate girly who does photography as a hobby, so I keep my bookings selective. I’m always happy to chat if you have something fun in mind!

Pricing may vary depending on the session, location and what you have in mind. Since photography is a hobby for me, I keep my bookings limited and my pricing straightforward.

I’m not a full-time photographer, and honestly, that’s part of what makes this special. I do photography because I genuinely love it, so I’m intentional about the sessions I take on. I don’t believe in rushing through a shoot just to get to the next one. I’d rather give us enough time to get comfortable, have fun and capture a variety of photos naturally. My goal is for you to actually enjoy the experience while I capture moments that feel like you.
