Hi there, I'm Laryssa Fortier—a former teacher, proud mom of two little ladies named Ellie and Esme, and a passionate photographer on a mission to preserve the fleeting moments of young childhood for families. Guided by my teaching background, I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during photo sessions, capturing not just images but the authentic emotions and connections that define your family. Specializing in family sessions with a mix of portraits (posed) and lifestyle (relaxed, authentic moments), I aim to turn these moments into timeless memories, ensuring that each session is a celebration of the love that binds families together. Let's create something beautiful together!
I grew up in rural New Hampshire, where I spent most of my time outside exploring the beautiful natural world. Armed with a camera from an early age, I brought it along on my adventures, aiming to capture the beauty that surrounded me. High school and college photography courses further fueled my passion, providing me with the technical skills to enhance my love for storytelling through images.
For Laryssa, photography is not just about creating visually stunning images; it's about encapsulating the genuine emotions and connections that make each family unique. Her sessions are a blend of professionalism and warmth, where clients quickly feel at ease in front of her lens. Drawing on her teaching background, Laryssa effortlessly guides families through photo sessions, making even the youngest members comfortable and ensuring a fun and natural experience.
