Hi! I'm Laura!

I’m a wedding and brand photographer for creative and adventurous hearts and and your resident work-life balance aficionado. I’m so glad you’re here!
My favorite thing in life is sitting out by my fire-pit with a glass of Riesling and a s’more in hand with friends and family surrounding me. I'm rarely ever found without a warm blanket wrapped around me, and If my wallet didn't frown upon it, I’d probably buy everything in Anthropologie Home and Free People.

Lovable jewelry for everyday. That’s the motto at Stia Couture, who I had the pleasure of working with yesterday! I stepped into her studio and I was completely blown away. We’re talking jaw hit the floor. Wall to wall floor to ceiling were GORGEOUS pieces of jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings. All of it completely flawless, designed and made in house with heart and a mission. Stia Couture’s mission is to empower women to sparkle in all they do. This mission is hanging up on the wall as you walk in with a big sparkly sign that states “Never miss your chance to sparkle.” I’ve reflected so much on that saying this past week as I have come to the realization that in order to do great things, sometimes you need to say no to good things so your true calling can shine!Stia Couture Jewelry - Laura Lee PhotographyStia Couture Jewelry - Laura Lee PhotographyStia Couture Jewelry - Laura Lee Photography

Christina, owner and CEO of Stia, entered the NYC fashion world while finishing her college studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).  During her career working for several undergarment companies, Christina realized her true passion was designing for “women”.  Her dream was to have her own line – one that would make women feel good about themselves.  Six years later, STIA COUTURE was founded.  In 2012, after nervously leaving a career and becoming a stay-at-home mom, jewelry making was just a “nap time” hobby.  Opening a store on ETSY.COM, STIA COUTURE soon became a flourishing business that has satisfied the need for beautiful, meaningful, and affordably crafted designs.  Now the brand is carried in over 50 stores across the US and in Europe. Now that’s a woman who knows how to sparkle!

Stia’s hope is that their jewelry will bring a smile to any woman’s face. Their clients are empowered, full of energy, proud, and strong. I am beyond thrilled that Christina, Founder and CEO of Stia, has taken me on board to continue photographing the beautiful designs they create everyday!
