  2. PHOTOGRAPHER SPOTLIGHT: LAURA VOLPACCHIO Even in the age of selfies, newlyweds and families still want high-caliber photos by skilled professionals who can deliver artistry. Originally from Connecticut and now based in the Hudson Valley, Laura Volpacchio didn’t actually start out as a photographer. Her first passion was dancing. I interviewed Laura about how she got into photography and her career to-date.

  3. Was there a pivotal moment where you realized you had to dedicate yourself to photography as a career, which has led to you becoming the premier family photographer in the NY-NJ-CT Tri-State area? I didn't pick up a camera until I was 18 and my mom gave me my first DSLR – her old Canon 20D. I spent the first years with my camera just photographing in the streets of NYC and on my travels. After years of dancing professionally, I was yearning for a vocation that I had more control over. It dawned on me then: Oh! I should take headshots! I have no idea why it took me so long to consider photography as a job.

  4. About Laura In summer 2014, I volunteered in Vietnam, teaching English and dancing around with the kids, and of course my camera came with me. That was really my first experience photographing kids. I did have an “aha” moment during that trip, which was that I needed to work with children in some capacity. When my first nephew was born, I did his newborn photos. That summer, families sought me out in the Hamptons for their photos. Present day, I spend most of my time photographing kids and families, which is pretty much the best thing ever.

  5. Do clients usually come to you with an idea of what they want or do you create the visual concept yourself or together with the client? Sometimes clients have an idea of the location they want to shoot, but most often they are looking for a particular feeling in their photos. Clients come to me because they are looking for natural, joyful photos that look like real life but a little more magical than what we notice day-to-day. Text Here Add Contents Title

  6. What recommendations and/or advice do you give families so they can prepare for the best possible portrait experience? Trust your photographer. If you don't, find a different photographer! Read the pre- session guide and make sure everyone is on board. Non-messy snacks for the kiddos are absolutely invaluable during the shoot! Text Here Add Contents Title

  7. What’s your busiest time of year and how far ahead do you usually get booked up? The summer is my busiest time of year. August is absolutely insane out in the Hamptons. That is when people do their annual family photos. By December, I'm focused on branding photography sessions, newborn photography sessions and being with my own family. Text Here Add Contents Title

  8. What's been the most moving reaction you've received from a family to the photos you took of them? People often tear up or cry while we watch the slideshow of their family photos. I love watching the parents react to the pictures of them with their kiddos. Text Here Add Contents Title

  9. What's been your proudest moment as a photographer? There have been many! I'm quite proud that I built my own business and am able to support myself and my family as an artist. Text Here Add Contents Title

  10. What's the largest number of photos you've ever taken at a family gathering? I never bring my camera to family gatherings. I like to be present with my family. Although I love what I do, it is work, and just like most people, I'm not interested in working all the time. David and I don't have any kids of our own yet, but once we do, I'm sure I'll take more off- hours photos, but likely in the comfort of our own home when there isn't much going on.
