For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the creative side and to photography. I am a wife and mother of three, and was deemed the resident photographer at all of life's occasions in my family.
In my previous life, I worked in the community as social worker in private child welfare agencies, DCYF and with the State's Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Family is important to me and my husband and we raise our three kids to include everyone, to be confident and kind children and to keep a "home grown fun" kind of attitude.
I love photography. I love getting to know new families and working with newborns and children and I enjoy building community relationships with various schools. I look forward to working with you!

""Our family started going to Laura in 2019 for our first baby's newborn shoot....When deciding on a photographer to capture those special moments, you don't always get lucky enough to form such an understanding and bond with them! With Laura, we hit the jackpot. Soon we will be adding our baby boy to the world and there is no doubt in my mind that the pictures she captures for us will leave us amazed! She truly goes above and beyond. I couldn't recommend her enough!"

""Laura has been my go-to since my son was born! She has taken care of every milestone photoshoot needed or almost two years now. My son and I absolutely love her. She is amazing, both behind the camera and as a human being. Great energy, beautiful personality, and SO GOOD with the kiddos. I will continue to go to her for every birthday and Christmas photoshoot for years to come!"

""Our first photoshoot with my 5 week old was an amazing experience. The pictures were beautiful, they exceeded any expectation I had. But more than the amazing photos, I appreciated Laura's patience and gentle touch with my daughter. We will be going to Laura to capture all of our little girl's milestones."

"Absolutely love Laura! She is so friendly and good with kids. We have loved every set of milestone photos she's done for our son's first year. My only regret is that we found her too late for her to do our newborn photos. Book with Laura and you won't regret it!

""It was pure luck that I found Laura Santilli Photography! I was so impressed with how beautiful the photos came out, and we have had many more sessions since. Each time Laura captured the most authentic expressions. I have personally seen Laura photograph dozens of children on our school picture days. Laura has a natural way of connecting with each child through gentle humor. She captures the most gorgeous school pictures. I highly recommend Laura Santilli Photography!""
