Find someone who matches your weird. Then get portraits together so there’s evidence. 😂🖤

If your idea of romance involves matching skull makeup, a favorite movie, or causing a little trouble in the afterlife, I would love to plan your couples session.

Themed sessions are a chance to take something you both love and go all in. We’ll help figure out the wardrobe, makeup, set, and posing so you can enjoy becoming your wonderfully ridiculous alter egos together.

So, who would you two be? A little Beetlejuice chaos? Ghostly newlyweds? A dangerously elegant vampire couple?

Send this to your partner and see what they pick. Then message us your idea for October availability and package pricing. Let’s get your kind of date night on the calendar.

Believe it or not, we don’t require everyone to wear black and look like they haunt something. 😂

We do senior photos, too! Bring the prom dress, the favorite sneakers, the sharp suit, or the outfit they actually feel comfortable in. We can go dramatic in the studio or head outside for something relaxed and natural.

The best part is figuring out what feels like them. Some seniors love getting dressed up. Others would rather wear their favorite shirt and keep it simple. There’s room for both here, including in the same session.

Have a senior who’s ready for their turn? Message Laura Dark Photography for available dates and session pricing. We’ll help you plan the looks and guide them through the posing, so they don’t have to arrive knowing what to do. 🖤

Did anyone else grow up wanting to be the mysterious woman in the lake, or was that just me? 😂🖤

The floating hair, the white lace, that dreamy blue. I love a portrait that leaves you wondering whether she’s a fairytale princess or the reason the villagers won’t go near the water.

If you’ve been saving ideas for something ethereal, haunting, or a little romantic, send them my way. You don’t need to have the wardrobe or posing figured out. We’ll help you put your session together.

I have October openings at Laura Dark Photography. Message me and we’ll send you available dates and package options. Let’s make something you’ve been daydreaming about.

Who would you bring to a photoshoot that looks like you inherited a haunted manor and a deeply suspicious family fortune? 🖤

Your husband? Your wife? Your best friend who would absolutely help you choose the portraits AND invent the scandalous backstory? 😂

I have October openings at Laura Dark Photography, and I would love to fill them with dramatic gowns, candlelit portraits, gothic romance, and people who have been waiting for an excuse to do this together.

We’ll help you put the looks together with wardrobe options, hair and makeup options, and posing guidance throughout your session. Come be affectionate, regal, slightly menacing, or some combination of all three.

If you’ve already thought of the person you’d bring, send them this.

Consider this permission to send us the photo idea you’ve been saving for three years.

The gown, the makeup, the whole slightly excessive Halloween production. You don’t have to have every piece figured out before you ask about it. Send us what you’re thinking, and we’ll talk through what we can create and which session fits.

We’re booking October, and I would love to hear what’s been living in your saved folder. 🖤

If you’ve ever looked at one of our photos and thought, “I would have absolutely no idea what to do,” that’s okay. Knowing what to do is my part. 😂

I’ll help you with where to stand, what to do with your hands, and all the little adjustments that make the photo work. You get to come in and enjoy being dressed up without needing to suddenly become a professional model.

If nerves have been keeping you from booking an October session, you can tell us that when you message. We can start there. 🖤

I still have openings for Greenlawn sessions on October 31, and I feel like the people with a black gown hanging in their closet need this information.

If your idea of Halloween involves old stone, autumn leaves, and a portrait you would absolutely hang in your house year-round, come spend part of it with us. 🖤

Message us for the available times and session details.

If your saved photos are full of black lace, dramatic gowns, and women who look like they inherited a suspicious estate, we should probably talk.

October is a pretty good excuse to finally get yourself into one of those pictures. You don’t need to know how to pose or arrive with an entire costume figured out. We’ll help you put it together and walk you through the posing.

Message us about a Classic Gothic session. Suspicious estate unfortunately not included. 🖤

Some people want a beautiful, serious portrait for fall. Some people want to put a pumpkin on their head and make it light-hearted. I have room in my heart for both. 😂🎃

If pumpkin-head photos have been sitting on your “we should do this” list, message us about an October studio session. Send this to the person you’re dragging along so they have time to accept their fate.
