Hi and welcome!  I’m Laura Gampfer and this is my dog, Norman.  I am a professional photographer from Elburn, Illinois, and I am passionate about really great photography.  I’m also a mom who loves the great outdoors, animals, and all things summer.

My goal as a professional photographer is to capture you as you are.  My images are authentic, genuine, and true to you.  My sessions are relaxed, personalized, natural, and fun.  I walk you through the session process from start to finish, and I answer any questions you may have along the way.   We capture important moments and details together.

I am honored and humbled that my photos have been featured by Nikon, newspapers, magazines, Gallery 125, and on dozens and dozens of Instagram hubs, including the awesome Senior Year Magazine!  Additionally, I am a member of the Elburn Chamber of Commerce, Nature First, and the Click Community.

I truly believe in giving back to my community and am honored to have supported these wonderful organizations:  Kaneland Sports Boosters, Kaneland Performing Arts Boosters, Kaneland High School Golf Team, Kaneland High School Lacrosse Team, Blackberry Creek Elementary School, Blackberry Creek Elementary School PTO, Harter Middle School, Batavia Music Buffs, Elburn Cub Scout Pack 107, Elburn Boy Scout Troop 7, Elburn Girl Scouts, The Kaneland Foundation, Elburn Chamber of Commerce, HorsePower Therapeutic Riding, Anderson Animal Shelter.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, gardening, hiking, and chasing sunsets (true story, I’m regularly pulled over on the side of rural roads!).  Our national parks and anyplace off the grid hold a special place in my heart.  I was also a veterinary technician/assistant for many years, so I’m definitely comfortable working with all types of animals (they’re my people).  Your dogs, horses, chickens, goats, cows, pigs – they’re all welcome!
