Thank you to all our clients for letting us
be a part of your lives and for referring us to others. Our
continued success is due to you! Just as life is not a destination,
but a journey; our new studio location and flower gardens are
an ongoing project. The studio is next to a beautiful nature
preserve. When the flowers were put into the garden the butterflies
came from everywhere and have decided to stay. Every day, all
day - it's wonderful! We continue to add new and unique ideas
to keep ourselves "thinking outside the box." We
encourage you to bring your ideas and work together with us
to create new and fun images for your family to enjoy.
Our canvas is the changing landscape of our
private butterfly gardens and pond as well as the indoor studio.
In this setting, we create images that preserve quiet moments
of surreal beauty and exquisite sentiment. In this day and
age, with the demanding schedules we keep, our lives go by
so quickly; and our families changes before our eyes. That's
why, at Laake Portrait Gallery, we believe capturing relationships
is as important as the beautiful, individual portraits we create
of your children.
We sometimes travel to other cities to offer
our unique portraits of new babies. During those weeks we are
not available for sittings at our studio location. If you are
interested in having us come to your area call the studio and
we'll give you the details of how that works.
