Laura Rauch Photography

Laura is a true professional! From the moment I first contacted her regarding our daughter’s 1^st birthday session, I was truly impressed. Communication is extremely quick and we were able to set everything up for the session within a day. She chose the perfect setting for a photo shoot for our family and the pictures are absolutely stunning. Our daughter was being quite shy at first, but she quickly warmed up to Laura and we got perfect smiles and giggles. We would definitely use Laura again and refer friends/​family.

I have to say I did have doubts about the costs of a professional photographer but Laura has definitely changed my mind. Her fee is reasonable and she is very helpful throughout the entire process. I was in her studio corralling the three year old while she worked with my kids and the new baby so I saw first hand her remarkable ability to capture a moment. She was personable, professional, direct, but also quick with a smile and put everyone at ease. The whole family looked relaxed and natural. (Not always so easy!). She is no «fancy-​dancy high brow» photographer, but a natural and down to earth hard working girl. She is just GOOD. Period.

Great experience with Laura. Easy to book session date with her, and she helped a lot with choosing the right location for our family photos. She knows OC well, including best times for the best lighting in each location. The shoot went great and she was very patient with our two young children. Photos look amazing. The best aspect about her photo package is that you get to download (and own) the high quality originals, so you can do whatever you wish with them! Most other photographers we looked at using had similar pricing for the photo shoot, but you had to also buy your prints and canvas through them (at ridiculous prices) or buy a very expensive package before getting access to the originals. Laura offers printing of the images through her, but isn’t pushy about it! Would highly recommend!

Laura is awesome! We booked Laura for a newborn photo session– what a great experience! As a neonatal nurse, I was extremely impressed with how gentle and skilled Laura was with handling and positioning our newborn daughter. She had great props on hand at her studio that made for beautiful photos. We were so happy with how beautiful the photos turned out that we have already booked Laura for a family shoot later this year. Thank you Laura!

Laura is an amazing photographer. She’s patient and very good with children. Her studio is impressive and she is very organized. She has plenty of props to chose from for children’s photos. The photos she captured of my family were exactly what I was looking for. I am so glad that I have all these memories to look back on. I highly recommend Laura for all your photography needs.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the photos that we just received from Laura for our maternity shoot! Working with her has been wonderful. She quickly got back to us after I emailed to setup an appointment. She worked with my husbands very busy traveling schedule to accommodate us on a weekend. From the moment we arrived at the site for shooting she was thorough, funny, and made us feel extremely comfortable. Taking photos by yourself can feel awkward, Laura directed me and my husband photo by photo as to where to place our hands, turn our heads etc… she made it pretty brainless for us which I appreciated! Less than 2 weeks we received our edited photos (which she gives you the full rights to!). She made our job of choosing which to frame extremely difficult!!! I can’t wait for her to do our sweet girls newborn photos! Less than a month away. :) Laura, thank you again for beautifully capturing this special moment.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. We used her for newborn pictures for our son. First, she met us at our car and helped carry everything in to her studio which was very helpful with 3 kids and a c-​section. Her studio is beautiful and she thoughtfully has it stocked with snacks, drinks, a changing pad, diapers and wipes. As soon as she started shooting I knew the pictures would be amazing. Laura is a baby whisperer! She took my son for 3 hours and and only brought him back to me so I could feed him. She was so patient and took her time coaxing him in to the most beautiful positions. She was even great with my destructive toddler and bored oldest son. It was a great experience. As I expected the photos were wonderful. I cannot wait to use her for our family photos this summer. Thank you Laura!

Laura is an excellent photographer and very very good with babies! She knows how to work with them and calm them down like no one else! We had a great experience at her studio with our 10 days old baby girl. She took about 80 photos, took her time with each of them, and they all look amazing! Not only she is great at working with babies, she has the cutest props and has a great taste for mixing and matching them. Also, I shopped around a lot before choosing her and what I liked the most about her before even meeting her in person, was that her work quality is great and her price is decent compare to other competitors who do high level professional work like she does. I highly recommend her for baby photos!

We absolutely loved our experience with Laura! We really cannot say enough good things about her work. She was so gentle with our baby girl and really made sure she was comfortable throughout the shoot– keeping the studio warm, having white noise in the background, and giving us a break for feeding. She is also very friendly and personable. As for the photos, they were absolutely gorgeous! We are so in love with every single picture she took! So many cute props to choose from and her studio is clean and beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

There really are not enough good things to say about Laura. She is absolutely amazing to work with and her photography is unbeatable. We first had Laura do our first pregnancy shoot and we fell in love with the results. She made a simple park on a fall day look beyond vibrant. She was timely and organized while making certain that everything you wanted photographed became a reality. We have used Laura many times. Laura just has that eye for photography. She has this ability to capture your special moments in the most unique ways. If you are looking for a creative, outgoing, unique photographer who will provide you with the most extraordinary and perfect pictures then Laura is your gal. She will leave you staring at your photographs for hours wondering how you can possibly look that good! She has our highest recommendation. She is simply the best and we plan on using her for many more of our memorable moments.

Laura is a fantastic family photographer and I highly recommend her. I was so impressed with her on-​the-​spot creativity and tricks to get the kids all smiling and looking the right way! Laura works quickly and is fun, she puts you at ease.
We are super happy with the extended family photos she did for my Parent’s 40^th Anniversary, she captured memories and moments that meant so much to us.
Thank you Laura!

I came across Laura’s photography work and decided to proceed with doing our maternity and newborn photo sessions with her. It was a great decision as my husband and I enjoyed both experiences immensely. We loved how all the photos came out. I love that Laura is unique in that you are able to get all the digital images from her and aren’t limited to only a specific set of images which is the common case with other newborn photographers. Her flexibility in this area was exactly what I was looking for. Furthermore, Laura was quick with her turnaround time. I was so excited to get our photos a week after the sessions. Laura was professional and made the whole process enjoyable. She was so great with our newborn baby. She was able to accommodate lots of photo configurations and poses with the baby and neither session felt rushed. I recommend Laura’s services to parents and families out there.

Laura is amazing! I always love my photos & I’ve even recommended her to friends that live in Orange County. She’s great with kids, I know my girls are so comfortable around her & Laura always seems to capture their beautiful personalities! She’s professional, affordable & delivers beautiful quality photos!!!

Laura is absolutely AMAZING! She is so easy to work with and her work is just beautiful! I have only had the best experiences with her, and we have been working with her since my 1^st maternity session. My son is now 3 and we just had another baby last month. She is truly great at what she does and her work shows it. We have captured priceless memories thanks to her. Cannot say enough good things about Laura!

Laura is kind and patient. She takes gorgeous pictures! She photographed our children during their soccer games, and did so with outstanding professionalism and love. We would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for solid, professional work. Thank you for going out of your way Laura.

Laura’s work is extremely beautiful. I would have LOVED to have had my maternity and newborn shoot with her.
What I cannot get past, is that in my emails to her requesting information on pricing or special packages, what types of payment she accepted, availability, etc. I was only able to receive 1 word answers from her. «Yep». «Nope». «$ 100 off.» etc.
I just cannot bare to think that had I actually provided her with our money, how would she have treated us and communicated once she actually HAD our business. Not once was there even a «Congratulations» or «congrats» even within her one word answers. We will absolutely be taking our business elsewhere, because we work extremely hard for our money. We cannot justify giving our money to someone who we do not think truly deserves it when they are not kind or even ANXIOUS to book a package.

We had a wonderful experience with Laura. She was fun, personable and great with my 3 kids! Taking pictures for us is a stressful time, with 3 children under the age of 6. And Laura did a really good job keeping me calm and working with us! We love our photos and highly recommend her services.

She’s an amazingly talented photographer. She is so friendly and really makes each session fun and works great with children. Love her! Best in the OC.

Laura did an amazing job capturing the sweetness of our baby girl. As a first-​time mom I had a lot of anxiety when looking for and choosing a newborn photographer because I was afraid of not liking the pictures and feeling like the opportunity was missed to capture the newness of it all. We chose Laura because she was always very prompt when responding to all my questions via email before we even booked with her. I felt like I knew what to expect during the shoot and the pictures were beautiful. She was extremely patient with my little one who refused to cooperate for the first hour of the appointment and we got all the special shots we wanted. We would definitely use her again!

Laura did a wonderful job with our newborn photos. She was easy to work with and the photos turned out adorable! She brought a items with her (hats, basket, blankets) to use in the photos. It was so hard to choose the cutest ones for our baby announcements because there were so many outstanding images. The photos were available quickly and it’s nice to have access to them right away. The price was affordable and the quality was great!
