Laura Manson Photography

Laura has been our go-to photographer for family events for the last handful of years. Most recently, we had the pleasure of having her do our maternity and newborn photos for our second daughter. The entire process - from booking, having to change dates, having both photo sessions, and receiving photos - was smooth and seamless. Thinking about family photos with a toddler and a newborn was a little bit stressful but Laura made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She kept the sessions fun and stress-free. (Our toddler definitely appreciated the timbits!) You can tell that Laura takes pride in making her sessions fun, relaxing, and overall just a great experience. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone who is in the market for photos. Thank you for everything, Laura! We cannot wait to use you more in the coming years!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Laura for several photo sessions over the past few years. We first hired her to take our engagement pictures in Canmore- she was so easy to work with, we were nervous about looking awkward or being uncomfortable but after a few minutes we were totally comfortable. Because we had such an amazing experience and beautiful photos from our engagement session we hired Laura to take our wedding photos (destination), as well as several other special occasions since then (maternity, newborn, most recently family photos). Laura is always so professional but also fun to work with. She is abundantly hardworking and creative. We have never been let down by the amazing galleries, she truly goes above and beyond!

Laura has captured many family milestones for us, but most recently we got to visit her in home studio jungle for a cake smash session for my one year old. It was so fun and special to spend some time with my boys and capture this special milestone. You'll never regret having these pictures and Laura makes your time together so fun and relaxing. Can't wait to get some printed and displayed in our home. Thank you Laura ♥

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Laura is an insanely talented photographer and also a blast to work with. She made our family session so fun and had lots of tricks to get natural smiles out of our kids. She has a true gift of capturing real moments & feelings in her pictures and telling your story . Our photos from our session blew us away and we will cherish them forever. I highly recommend hiring Laura if you want a fun , passionate photographer to capture your family at their best !

Laura is SERIOUSLY the most fun, creative, professional, interactive, and genuine photographer we have ever met. She is VERY outgoing, pays attention to all of the small details, gives great advice, and she easily connects with people. She works in an organized, timely manner while managing everyone else involved with the wedding!She also had a wicked second shooter, Ashley Lazette who worked great with the guys and worked great with Laura. It was a pleasure meeting and getting to know Ashley as well!Laura's images are UNREAL and we would definitely 100% recommend her to anybody needing incredible photos. She's an excellent photographer who turned into a great friend. She also played a HUGE part in the finding of my hubby's wedding ring months later, that was lost on our wedding day....thank goodness she captured the moment it was lost on camera!

We had the pleasure of working with Laura for two occasions. She shot our maternity photos and newborn photos. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and the photos we have are so good! She put both myself and my husband at ease and were able to capture authentic moments. Our little one was not the most accommodating during the newborn shoot but Laura was very patient and captured some great shots. She is professional, fun, creative and overall a wonderful person. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does and it shows through the quality of her work. We plan on using Laura in the future and would highly recommend her.

Our family recently had the absolute pleasure to have family photos taken by Laura. It was a whole year in the making. Between rain on the only day we had them booked last summer and my husbands oilfield schedule. I messaged Laura on very short notice asking if she had availability and she made it happen. We could not be more grateful. The location was an absolute dream, one of the most beautiful places. Laura is so amazing, so sweet and extremely patient. We received our photos and I was honestly blown away and completely speechless. Along with my husband who is still talking about how amazing they are and our 4 year daughter saying she had tears because they are so nice and asked if we could go back and have more photos taken by Laura. She allowed time at the very end to ensure our daughter had her own special pictures in her treasured cowgirl boots. And got our son smiling the entire evening. These pictures have exceeded our expectations. Laura thank you so much for taking us on short notice, booking the most magical place, allowing us to take time from your busy schedule, allowing us an incredible evening and taking the most beautiful pictures of our family we will treasure for a lifetime.

We booked family photographs with Laura…. And they are some of the most amazing pictures we have. She is phenomenal to work with. She is kind, communicates often and was so fun to work with. With two young kids and a partner who does not love having photos done.. she was a fan favourite. I will treasure these photos for the love she captured, the amazing scenery and magical lightening. She has an amazing talent. I would love to do pictures again in the future and would 100% recommend her if you are in search of a photographer.

Laura is so kind and inviting. We got along so well. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and beautiful in the photos. Our personal branding session was just what I needed to take my Etsy shop to the next level! I will definitely work with Laura again in the future.

Laura photographed our engagement and a year and a half later our wedding day. To say I was blown away by the photos would be an understatement! She was professional, quick in getting our photos back to us, and great at communicating! Laura pays great attention to detail, makes you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process, and even got my husband smiling in photos on numerous occasions! She puts her heart and soul into what she does and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. If you’re looking for flawless photos, and want have fun throughout the entire process, Laura is your lady!
