I love doing artistic family photo shoots.
This fabulous client of mine and I have been collaborating on amazing ideas for years. We are both VERY happy with the results of this years sesh and Christmas card!
We also blow up the final image for her wall of art. As I walk through her home there is literally years of family artwork we have created. 😍❤️😍 hanging all over ….not to mention I’ve watched these children grow up! This version has their hand writing all over it which adds such a great connecting tissue to the portrait.

An updated profile on LinkedIn is a must for maintaining a professional image in any industry.
I have built my photography brand since the very beginning from the space of real life moments. Great photography needs to evoke emotion. Revealing authenticity and emotion is not easy when there is a camera in front of you. Photography seems like a commodity these days, with selfie after selfie being posted and individual images being constantly curated, fake filters added and so on. The talent in a photographer is knowing when to take the photo. As Minor White so eloquently put “The spirit only stands still for the photographer it has chosen.”
When you hire Laura Bombier/Creative Good Inc you are quite literally framing into your images the expertise of years of work to create unique, differentiated one of a kind photos.
Great celebrations in our lives are emotional times. Who remembers everything that happened when they gave birth? Or the details of your wedding day? Photos help us remember the most touching moments of our lives and funerals are no different.
Losing someone close to you is a life altering experience, a profound emotional journey. I know because I lost my father suddenly a number of years ago. Dealing with all the details of death put me in autopilot mode without a chance to grieve. The day of my father’s funeral was an emotional blur. I don’t remember a lot of the details like the speeches or the guests because as I was so full of grief. And I have no record. There are no photographs or video of that time and I really wish I had something visual to remind me of that day as a way to connect and to remember the people who cared about my dad and the ceremony we had to celebrate his life.
Dying is an inescapable part of our lives. It’s not just about the person who has gone, but also about those who are left behind. When the face of our loved one fades in our minds over time…a photo lasts forever.
Funerals may not seem like the kind of events people would like to photograph, but I truly believe in the value of documenting grief. All emotion is beautiful. A funerals is an important ritual, a celebration of a life, and a rite of passage. People are united in mourning, and find comfort in connecting.
Funeral photography is a service not widely advertised or discussed. We don’t want to take photos of the sad moments in our life. We’re used to taking fun selfies and group shots at parties and joyous events, all the times we’re having a good time. But if we’re experiencing a bad or sad time, we want to ignore these moments visually. Delete them.
I whole heatedly agree with death literacy advocate, Katische Haberfield, who says: “Expressing all emotions is an important part of the healing process with grief, and photography can play an equally important part in this process.” She goes on to say: “As a society we need to change this. Life is not about only recording the best moments. Life is full of a range of experiences and emotions and if we focus only on the super sugary glossy ones, we miss the important part of being a human.” The rest of her great article on the topic of funeral photography can be found here.
If you are losing a loved one or have lost someone close to you, consider a photographer for their celebration of life ceremony. Death is a strange and overwhelming time, and a celebration of life photo session preserve the memories you will want to reflect on later. Discrete and unobtrusive photo sessions capture the intimacy and tenderness of family, friends, and love, as life takes its natural course. The raw beauty of genuine emotion when we are at our most human. For inquiries please email info@laurabombier.com
