Today was crazy busy! But I finally was able to sit down and hold the drawing. My daughter was happy to borrow me her fedora and even do the drawing of the name. I am sooo excited to announce the winner of the awesome giveaway…
Alysha Tinsley!
Congratulations Alysha. Thank you to everyone who entered the drawing. Keep watching as I am hoping to have more drawings in the future. Back to editing. Love that I get to stare at a beautiful baby and parents for this session. It makes it so easy.

I'm a portrait photographer based in sunny Mesa, Arizona who loves everything about photography and loves to travel. This is where you will find sneak peeks of my latest sessions along with other fun stuff. Stick around a bit.... leave some love.... enjoy. I am almost to 400!!! Help me speed past it and on to 500! Poppy Frames is an amazing company out of California with sensational frames! They offer 18 frame styles in 42 colors and 49 prints. Prints you say? Ya, Prints! You can order your frames with a print layer to match your decor. How awesome is that?! They are giving away a $30 gift certificate to their store. Life Created is another fun place to visit. Steph has such a great sense of style and creates wonderful paper treasures. She is generously offering a 12ft sewn garland in the colors of your choosing. Love her work! If you like crochet hats you will love Season Girl Stitches! There are some pretty adorable hats for children of all sizes available in her store. She is generously offering a Mickey or Minnie ear flap hat in any size newborn to adult. Super cute right!?! Sesason Girl Stitches
And finally I am offering a mini session. This session is perfect for getting headshots of your children. Get those stale school pictures off the wall and let their personality shine through. The way you see them! For this gift you must live in (or be willing to be in) Phoenix, Arizona or surrounding cities. Entries 4. Link back by updating your status with @LauraSokolPhotography’s got a giveaway goin’ on. Making sure to use the @ = one entry. Missing you ask? No. I am here. However define ‘here’. Between welcoming our fourth monkey early in September, editing many family sessions, and playing nurse to sick kiddos one would think I would have time to post pictures of the adorable families and newborns I have gotten to work with. Alas my chubby new monkey needs to snuggle. Medication administered. Stories read too. The computer is probably sick of me too. If you are waiting to see something new I can promise you will be happy soon. In the meantime what are your family traditions this time of year? I love being together as a family any time of year but it seems that we make more time to take time together. My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is leftovers on Friday. The first Turkey dinner I made was when I was 15. My parents had divorced and it was our first one without going to families. Mom had to work. (she’s a nurse) So I decided to do the dinner myself. Well. Let’s just say that 10lb of potatoes was mashed then eaten between Thursday and Sunday by yours truly! I made my first turkey and I did a decent job. It wasn’t dry or anything. There was enough food for a family of 15 and we were just 3. Leftovers galore. Today I love that my kids pick what they want on their own from the fridge leftovers and tell me how much they love what they are eating. Normally it is a headache to get all three to eat the same thing. Seeing the excitement on the kids faces as they watch the parades in the morning. Watching M as he “calls” and then proceeds to devour the drumstick. Pulling out the Christmas decorations since Thanksgiving is officially over. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This little man… rolls and all… was born at 26 weeks old! I was privileged to be invited into this sweet families home soon after baby Dean came home from the hospital. He was only on oxygen and looked amazing. He was 2 weeks gestation and oober squishy sweet! His parents want to preserve his tiny moments while they can as he is growing sooo quickly. I learned that at just a few weeks old dad could slip his wedding ring on Dean’s arm all the way up to his shoulder. Miracle blessings baby! Congrats Mama and Papa he is adorable.
