Best Portrait Experience in Seattle

Lara Grauer Photography was founded on the belief that a photographer’s job goes far beyond abilities with a camera.

Working well with people and understanding the end goal informs each step along the way. By going where curiosity leads, every session is uniquely fun and rewarding.

A full-service experience is at the heart of everything we do at Lara Grauer Photography. Our fun and efficient process shapes your portrait session into a truly individualized experience.

When you relax and let us guide you through the steps, you’ll end up with photos that serve your purpose, look great and are filled with memories that spark a smile.

Odin Grauer

Entitled Dog

Occasionally, Odin has been caught barging in on a session. He loves to say hello to people, and he gets especially excited when he hears commotion through the closed door. Most likely you won’t see him, but if you wanna say hello, just say the word!

You also might meet one of our amazing professional hair & makeup artists! We work with several artists on the basis of availability. You can rest assured your styling will be in very good hands!
