Light and LARA

Focus on Lara

I am a portrait photographer with a profound love for light and storytelling. As a proud mom of five incredible children, I find endless inspiration in the beauty and connections around me. My oldest daughter serves as my trusted lighting assistant, and together, we create timeless, magical memories—each frame woven with deep emotion, preserving not just a moment but a story that resonates through generations.

Currently, I’m channeling my creativity into passion projects, developing gallery collections, coffee table albums and home decor products that speak to my artistic soul. As a commissioned photographer, I take on a limited number of projects each year, thoughtfully selecting the ones that inspire me most.

Specializing in captivating portraits of people with their animals, I transform unique bonds into heirloom quality art—each piece a story illuminated by light, love, and the kind of connection that takes your breath away long after the moment has passed! Countless details and time go into every session to make each sacred journey come to life!

All photos are available for purchase.

Framed portraits arrive ready for display or a handyman will be provided to ensure proper installation. Floor to ceiling wall art in all custom sizes can be created specifically to transform your space into a timeless experience.

We encourage printed heirlooms in this digital age as we lose touch with classically printed photographs. Digital files available as well.

Custom quotes will be provided upon request.

Product line coming soon.

Today I have the privilege and honor of teaching my children how to express themselves through art, especially my oldest daughter who is my lighting assistant. She gets to see me in my element and I love watching her shine in hers! The honor and pride I feel to have her beside me through all of life fills me up with sunshine and pure excitement! Taia works hard for the best lighting angles and captures each horses heart! Together our hearts shine through for you to see. I hope you see our love of life and feel the song in our hearts as you experience our collection. This amazing, talented, artistic and brave young woman will be everything she sets out to be in life. I have taught her to live life fearlessly and I continue to ask her to please do it in great light! I proudly introduce you to my inspiration, my first born, my light, my Queen, Miss Taia King!!!
