about the photographer

Photography is said to provide proof of reality, but Lara has turned it into an expression of the intangible- to capture your imagination, your emotions, and your fantasies. Her ethereal style is explained by the source of her inspiration- many of her works started as visions in reoccurring dreams. Having both training from the commercial world and a network in the fine art community, she has adapted a balance of conducting a shoot in a professional manner with a unique touch that gives it that ‘extra something’ that holds the viewer’s gaze. 

Born in a youth hostel, she has emerged onto the visual plateau mentored by her industry heros across the world. She has trekked the globe working on a variety of projects such as researching monkeys with a National Geographic sponsored Primatologist, wine-making on a historical Tuscan villa, and documenting the solar eclipse at the Temple of Apollo in Turkey. Her work has been curated by art reps and agencies, such as Isenberg & Associates and has been published by The Examiner, Men’s Fitness, Women’s Health, Photographer’s Forum, Musee Magazine, Zephyr Magazine, Superstoked Magazine, The Los Angeles Music Magazine, Modern Luxury, Elite Daily, Mashable and The Smithsonian. 

After years of modeling experience, Lara knows how to help guide clients comfortably through a portrait session. She is a natural at seeing the beauty in everyone, and therefore always capturing what makes each person attractive and interesting. Organization and precision are paramount, but the key to her success is that she makes each shoot fun! Occasionally working with the assistance of her friendly studio dog, Ziva.
