Hi, I am Laura

The person behind Willow Studio Co.

A person in a pink t-shirt and black pants stands smiling against a light background.

Minnesotan born and raised, I live in Orono with my husband and our four kids. I’m a stay-at-home mom first wholeheartedly embracing the beautiful chaos of family life. Most days you’ll find me in cleaning up from my walking tornados, trying new dinner recipes or tending to a fresh loaf of sourdough. I love sipping a really good cup of coffee, knitting, sneaking in a fitness class when I can, golfing in the summer, and happily schlepping kids from one  practice to the next.


I started this business after taking countless photos of my own children and realizing just how much joy there is in preserving the everyday moments that pass too quickly. Capturing memories fills my cup in the deepest way. I love meeting new families, spending time with kids (truly — it’s my favorite part), and creating galleries that feel honest, heartfelt, and soul-touching.


Because at the end of the day, these are the moments that matter most.
