I am blown away by Laura Jane's work! We have the most gorgeous photographs of our son that we will cherish the rest of his life. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word. She was also able to accommodate us last minute, which we were so grateful for. One of the best things - and a total surprise to us - was that Laura and her team took care of everything during the photo shoot. They had noise makers and warmed up the room real good and said, "ok, we've got it from here!" My partner and I took a nice long walk around the neighborhood in a quasi state of shock as it was the first time in his life that neither of us was with him and we could be with just one another for a little while. It was such an unexpected break from 24/7 being new moms, and we felt very comfortable leaving them in their capable hands. We can't wait to have another kid so we can go back to Laura!

We had Laura Jane do a newborn session with our daughter when she was both five AND nine days old. What's that? Our little one was a little fussy the first time, and Laura Jane gladly returned a few days later to finish the session. Not only did Laura Jane have a wonderfully gentle way with our newborn, but she had an amazing eye for capturing precious details in very artistic ways. I'd like to also emphasize that when I say artistic, I don't mean corny or cheesy in ANY way as is unfortunately pretty common in the world of newborn shots. These were beautiful and wonderfully shot and edited photos. All of our friends and family who have seen our newborn session photos have been thoroughly moved by them, and some friends of ours whose baby is turning one soon have decided to enlist Laura Jane to capture that special day based on our experience with her. We highly recommend Laura Jane Studios! read more

Highly recommended! :)Thank you so much for everything! read more

I have used Laura Jane Studios twice over the past few years to photograph my son. The pictures all came out fantastic! Not a bad shot in the bunch! My son (3 and 4) at the time, said he had fun during the shoots -- and his spirit shines through in each picture! My daughter was recently photographed by Laura and I can't wait to see the shots -- I know they will be great! I highly recommend Laura Jane Studios! read more

Stunning, timeless images. Professionalism to the highest degree. A comfortable environment with people you can trust with your precious & delicate newborn. What more can I say? LJ is a true artist & master of her craft! You get what you pay for....why risk not having absolutely perfect newborn images? Her work speaks for itself! I was amazed at her capturing my VERY wiggly 16 month old toddler for the sibling shot too :) read more

Laura has worked with our family for over three years, taking photos of my three children. The most recent shoot was of our youngest son, Monty, when he was just six days old. Monty was not the most cooperative baby and would cry and wake up whenever we tried to pose him. Laura worked super patiently for hours to get the perfect shot without frightening or upsetting little Monty. The photos are amazing and she is such a gentle and easygoing person, that it was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. I truly think Laura captures the essence of each child in her photographs. read more

So in my 9th month of pregnancy I was looking for a newborn photographer that would capture my little man to be in the nontraditional baby photos (spare me from the baby blue and blocks you see at your local portrait studio!) Upon doing a Yelp search Ms. Laura Jane popped up! After reading the countless reviews bragging about her talents I visited her sight...OMG, scrolling through her work brought tears to my eyes (and no it was not the pregnancy hormones as I never got hormonal during my pregnancy!) Ms. Laura Jane was capturing babies exactly how I wanted to commemorate the birth of my son. The session was quick and easy and her baby-whisperer talents kept my baby asleep for the entire session. Upon seeing our proofs, my husband and I were so pleased and now have a lifetime of treasures thanks to Ms. Laura Jane. Book early and she will work with you in terms of your due date, etc! read more

I wish I could give 100 stars. I am so in love with Laura Jane Studios. When I first got pregnant, I knew I wanted to my newborn to take professional photos but I never gave it much thought. When they said I was going to deliver my baby girl early, I quickly began searching for a newborn photographer. That's where yelp came in. I searched for a newborn photographer in my area because I just knew I didn't want to go far with my newborn. Laura Jane Studios was one that displayed. She had high star reviews and customers were singing her praise, which later I saw why. I quickly went to her website. I was so enamored with all the baby pictures that she had taken. Tears literally formed in my eyes. They are breathtaking. The pricing was affordable for us, which is another reason we chose Laura Jane Studios. She was prompt on getting back to me when I first reached out to her. My induction took forever but she still fit me into her busy schedule (I contacted her the week my baby was to be delivered). The session was great. My baby was in good hands. The photos we got were exactly what I expected- breathtakingly beautiful. I look forward to getting my next baby's newborn pictures done by Laura. She was highly professional and very caring with my brand new baby. (Yes, I am already thinking of the next baby...lol) read more

Laura Jane did a wonderful job with our son's newborn photos. She has a special talent for working with babies and capturing their precious moments.

Laura Jane is a gifted photographer and we are so thankful to her for capturing our son's first few days on this earth so beautifully. We hope to have her photograph any of our future children and highly recommend her to all of our family and friends. read more

Laura was great! She made us feel at home and welcome in her studio. We had our baby photos done with her and they look excellent. She's a pro at photography, and she has excellent customer service.

A+ work for baby portrait, would recommend in a heartbeat. read more

Laura Jane Studios - Session Photography Near Me - Culver City, California

Beautiful newborn photography!!! I am so pleased with both of our daughters' newborn photos. She captured perfectly the sweetness of their tiny features and expressions in those first few days. I will treasure them always!! After diligently searching, we chose Laura Jane to photograph our first daughter in 2015 and again for our second in 2017. We met beforehand to review her work and our expectations. She really paid attention to what my husband and I were looking for, and communicated clearly what she could and couldn't do. She shoots a wide varieties of poses, close-ups and full body, naked or in little outfits or wraps, and has many props available to choose from. And I LOVED our family shots, they are stunning! Being a first time mom, I was a total wreck on the day of that first shoot. But Laura Jane's warmth, patience, and professionalism put my mind at ease, and her calm direction made the shoot easy-peasy. She is a baby whisperer. Somehow she and her assistant keep the babies calm and sleepy as they quickly work through the various set-ups. A few weeks after the shoot, we met to chose the photos. There were so many good ones, it was hard to whittle down. I wanted them all!! We had such a great experience that we immediately contacted her when I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter!! I ordered a 10x10 book for each child in addition to the digital prints. And the books are flawless! The composition of picture sizes, color shots and black and whites, and baby and family shots is true art. I highly recommend choosing a book as well!! I feel so lucky to have found Laura Jane! read more

I gave my son and his girlfriend a newborn session with Laura Jane as a gift. I was not there with them when the shoot took place, but they had nothing but wonderful things to say about the whole experience. Laura was extremely accommodating and worked with our very tight schedules as well as the fact that the baby came a few weeks earlier than expected. Getting it scheduled was incredibly easy and Laura was very flexible and understanding. However, the most important thing is that the photos are absolutely stunning and I could not have asked for a better photographer. I researched a ton of newborn photographers prior to choosing Laura, but I always kept coming back to her site. I am so happy that I did, because they were absolutely perfect! If you are looking for a gentle, caring and talented photographer, look no further. Laura is your gal! read more

I recently had professional photos of my newborn son taken with Laura and I could not love them more! They are so sweet and I am happy that I have these timeless photos to remember such a precious age. Laura was wonderful with my baby! She also took pictures of my newborn with my 15-month-old daughter and those photos are absolutely incredible. Her studio is warm and welcoming and I have no doubt that you'll love her work. If you're looking for a newborn baby photographer, give her a ring! read more

While I don't often write reviews our experience with Laura was wonderful and there's a reason she has only 5 star reviews and only amazing sentiments about her. Her home studio is comfortable and welcoming, she was incredibly accommodating to our last minute photo shoot request, handled our little lady with soothing ease and sent us the photos incredibly fast. They are so so beautiful. Thank you! read more

Best newborn baby photographer. My whole family LOVED his cute professionally done photo of welcoming our first newborn baby son. We drove all the way from Burbank to see Laura and cant wait to see her again for our next baby;). She's very sweet and professional and has so many outfits and options. My husband and I couldn't decide at first cause they were all beautiful! Highly recommend her. read more

I really can't say enough about Laura Jane Studios. Laura is an exceptionally talented newborn photographer. From the moment you make first contact, to the day you receive your newborn's amazing images, her genuine warmth and professionalism remain a constant. Laura's communication is clear and honest. As she articulates the process, it eases any worries you might have had about handing your newborn over for a session, as her studio feels like home. Laura's studio is inviting and comfortable...I actually dozed off for a bit while Laura and her assistant worked their magic. Seriously, they are true baby whispers! The experience was great, and the photos...oh the AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL photos! Thank you Laura for sharing your gift with us and for capturing the precious fleeting moments! read more

My sister chose newborn photographer Laura Jane to take photos of her 7 day old son. As the proud aunt, I got to go to the shoot and WOW!! I was blown away by the care and concern this skilled professional showed my tiny baby nephew. Words can't describe how adorably gorgeous the treasured photos turned out. They are all stunning!! My sister used the shots for their announcements and everyone just raved about them. We are all grateful to Laura for capturing these precious newborn images. Besides being a talented baby photographer, Laura is a lovely person. She truly cares about her clients and goes out of her way to make sure everything is 110% perfect. We just absolutely loved working with her! read more

We used Laura Jane to photograph our newborn son when he was four days old. Laura and her assistant were absolutely incredible and the entire experience was one i'd do again in a heart beat. Laura and her team are gentle, loving, patient, kind and somehow by the end of the two hours I felt like i was saying goodbye to a dear friend. I had no reservations about handing my newborn son over to her, and that's not because I was deliriously tired (wink wink) it's really because Laura exudes an honest warmth about her and i just knew he'd be totally safe with her. And I was right, she did a wonderful job caring for him in her studio and the photos we received from her are unique (and gorgeous) and a priceless memento of the precious first few days with our precious first born. Not only do we have gorgeous framed photography for his room, but we used the images for his newborn announcements, which really wowed friends and family. Prior to our shoot, Laura kept in constant contact with me before I delivered. I was two weeks LATE which meant my tentative booking date got pushed out and she made sure she kept a slot open and assured me she'd be ready and flexible once our little guy arrived. Once we got to her studio, she had everything a new mom could need, which immediately alleviated any anxiety and stress i might have had regarding being out of the house with a newborn. All in all, it was a wonderful experience capped off with providing us with absolutely stunning artwork. Thank you again, Laura! We'll definitely see you for baby #2, if not sooner! read more

Laura is the best newborn photographer I could have found. I saw her work at my OB's office when I was going for my pregnancy routine check ups and new that was what I wanted. My Dr has several newborn mounted pictures on her office wall. I was pregnant with my second baby (my first baby didn't have newborn pics because sadly I didn't know any photographer). I immediately contacted her and she made it happen; I got the cutest newborn pics I could have imagined. She made the photography session so smooth. She walked me through the process and while she was making my 7 day old daughter comfortable and looking cute, my husband and I were just relaxing in a couch in the waiting area. She even provided us with some blankets. I loved the experience and her work so much that booked with her for my third baby as well. For the pics, she doesn't require anything; don't bring fancy clothing. She uses very soft wraps and cute accessories which she provides with. Just bring your baby and she would capture his/her natural beauty. I learned that it's not about the clothing; it's all about the baby. I drove from Midtown LA to Culver City. read more

I'm so glad to have found Laura Jane Studios through Yelp. From the moment I emailed her requesting information to the day we went back to select photos, Laura was professional and a pleasure to work with. She was responsive over email, and phone and always kept us in the loop during and after the shoot. I liked that she offered mini sessions as we wanted something beautifully done but were on a budget. I also appreciated the fact that she was able to fit us in as my baby made her appearance a week early. On the day of the shoot, Laura and her assistant helped me pick out props and hair pieces. They have so much to choose from! They also did a great job distracting my 2 year old during our family and sibling shots. We were so happy with how the pictures came out and have received so many compliments. I highly recommend Laura Jane Studios to anyone looking for beautiful artistically done newborn photos. read more

I am SO SO SOOO glad I had LJ do my daughter's newborn photos. I never thought I would do these newborn photography but I am really glad that I did. The first week with my daughter was such a blur...I am glad we did the newborn photos because I am able to look back and remember how tiny and "new" my daughter was in the first week. When I emailed and inquired about her services, she replied fast and answered all my questions. She also sent clear instructions on how to prepare and what to do before the photo session. It was nothing complicated and easy. LJ was so professional, gentle with my daughter, caring and super sweet during the photo shoot. They took care of everything and had all these cute accessories and everything for the photo shoot. She also asked if there were any specific pose I wanted to see. She made sure to take care of my daughter's needs during the shoot. LJ and her team are just wonderful... My prints and album came out so beautiful and sweet. I am really truly glad I found LJ and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a newborn photographer. read more

Our photos were absolutely gorgeous! I made a last minute decision to get newborn photos done and after seeing her website I just knew that Laura Jane was the one. I love her clean and natural approach of her composition allowing the baby to be the focus. I so can't stand cheesy baby pics with bright colored bows and fake flowers. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she's incredibly patient and super sweet...we booked our shoot outside of the ideal time frame but she was able to keep our baby asleep for almost 5 hours. She captured a special moment in our lives and now we have some beautiful pics that will last forever. Thank you Laura! read more

We're so glad that we were able to have a session with Laura when our newborn was just 5 days old.

The pictures are so precious and such a treasure! read more

We had a great experience with Laura Jane. She was so patient with my baby who resisted sleep for hours! We love our photos and will always cherish them. Everyone had wonderful things to say about them. The best part? Digital copies at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

Laura did our littlest one's newborn photos and we couldn't be happier. Laura is professional as well as warm and patient with amazing attention to detail. Rather than having a set plan for props, poses and accessories, Laura took advantage of the time I spent nursing the baby before our session to talk to me about the poses I wanted to try and to pick out the blankets and headbands that would look best with the baby's skin tone. When it was time to begin shooting, the baby was still wide awake and Laura got lots of great alert photos before she started the very patient work of posing her in the sweet sleepy positions. She was also terrific with our two year old daughter and got some absolutely gorgeous shots of our two year old with her baby sister. We ordered a digital package and after the shoot Laura continued to exceed expectations. She worked with me to pick the best images and promised to deliver my 2 favorite images first so that I could order announcements asap. I'm very picky about photo editing and Laura's work was gorgeous with a prompt turnaround to boot! We are so glad that we found Laura -- we love her simple, warm and natural looking style and her work flawlessly and beautifully captured our family at this special moment in time! read more

She was great in accommodating us at the last minute for our newborn photo session. The whole morning went quite smoothly. We really wanted to keep our pictures more on the natural side and free of props, which is why we chose her. We would certainly go there again in the future and would have no problems recommending this to friends. read more
