I am honored to post the following testimonials of those that have fallen in love with Tender Portraits Photography. The following are reasons why I continue to grow as an artist…why I create art from your portraits. Most importantly, why you can trust me to provide the highest quality service and portrait art found in northeast Kansas & northwest Missouri. xoxo ~Laura
Elise says, “So many sit down to plan their wedding and come up with a list of all the portraits they could want on their special day: me & grandma, me & grandma & grandpa, me & him & grandma & grandpa, etc., etc. I was fortunate enough to avoid all of that. Knowing I could trust Laura to take photographs that weren’t based on a stock concept was awesome. I was comfortable knowing I wouldn’t get a picture with each and every member of the wedding party with myself, because that’s not what I wanted. Some of the photographs were images I’d pictured in my head even before my engagement, but most offered better than that. My favorite is one of me and my husband, eyes closed, in the background the sun setting on our first day of as a married couple. The admirers of these portraits (and most of your’s) don’t have to know the subjects to enjoy the image. To me, that’s when you’ve created art out of a portrait. I’m not a connoisseur of art photography, but I would buy these!”
Jaime says, “I have no idea where to even begin. I was so pleased and impressed with Laura. I love each and everyone of the pictures she took. Laura has a calming effect. On a day that can be filled with stress, she can get you to relax and laugh and enjoy the day. I knew with Laura that I did not have worry about getting certain shots. I knew she would just take care of it and I had nothing to worry about. Laura has a talent and knack for photography. She gets amazing shots and never ceases to amaze me! I am so glad that Laura was able to photograph our engagement pictures and wedding.”
Jennifer says, “I saw the pics you took of Jake and the kids, I instantly got goosebumps and teary eyed. My heart ached for you. Ever since seeing those pics I seem to be addicted to your website. Seems like I have to check it at least a couple of times a week to see the new pictures you have taken. Actually they are not pictures they are masterpieces. The work you do is amazing!!!! You have no idea how much joy it brings seeing the children, the way you capture their innocence!!! You truly have found your niche. Keep up the outstanding work, it inspires the rest of us.”
Heather says, “Laura- I know I say this over and over….but you are just amazing! Thank you so much for capturing memories of our special day. I love the pictures and can’t wait to share all the pictures with family and friends!! Glad I have such a great friend with a lot of talent!!!”…..”Looking at your talent and work amazes me! I look at this page weekly…ok…ok… Daily most weeks. Your talent is “WOW” and thats what I say everyday when viewing such beautiful work.”
Bridget says, “We have had the pleasure of using Laura for our family photographer 3 times now and each time I couldn’t have been more pleased. Her photo sessions are so laid back, no worries about chasing the kids around a tiny studio, and she has the unique talent of capturing each person’s personalities to make each portrait special. Our house is decorated with her photos and I cherish each and every one of them. I truly believe you get what you pay for, and Laura does a fantastic job!!! Thanks so much!”
