Your life. Your masterpiece.

Turn Your Fleeting Moments into Art

Lara Grauer Photography is a Seattle-based portrait studio that specializes in custom photography and printed artwork. Our full-service process starts with the end in mind; ensuring we understand what you love most about your family, and what looks will vibe with your home and your life.

Whether it’s your child’s first steps, a first foray into the teenage years, or the bond you share through family relationships, we’ll tell your story with love and enthusiasm. You’ll have such a great time at your photo session that you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!

To wrap up the experience, you’ll see your portraits virtually in the context of your home, to ensure you’ll love what you see when the art is done. Our team will take it from there to edit, print, frame, deliver, and install your heirloom portraits on the walls of your home.

Your life’s story is your masterpiece, worthy of a proud display. Contact us to create your artwork today at (206) 724-2177 or fill out any contact form here on our website.
