Laura Paxton Thunder Bay Photographer

Fun, candid, & connected photos

Your story, everlasting. From the milestones to mundane – there’s sweetness in it all.

For life's special occasions, the ones about to say I do, the proud mamas, the close-knit families: we're here to document it.

For the nostalgic, for those who love to revisit a moment, and the sentimental: we're here to capture it authentically, and creatively.

For the outgoing fun-lovers, to the shy observers: we'll capture you at your best, candid smiles and all, and deliver you a gallery to hold close forever.

When you book a session with flashback, you are booking with someone who cares about capturing your memories just as much as you do.

Flashback tells your story and captures photos that are more than just a smile for the camera. Photos are captured with the intention to bring you back to that moment in time, and to cherish whether you choose to display them on the wall, print in a book, or keep them on hand to scroll through and admire on your own time.

"WHO WE WERE, WHAT WE DID & HOW WE FELT TOGETHER"

The Girl Behind The Camera

Hi, I'm Laura. I’m a mom of twin girls, living a life of creative endeavours. I'm an artist, and photographer serving Thunder Bay, Ontario and surrounding area. Holding onto pieces of myself, my experiences, and those around me has been a theme woven into my entire life. Documenting things has become ever more important as milestones occur, families grow, and loved ones go. I approach photography with curiosity and an appreciation for magic little moments, with nostalgia & love sitting at the very root of my work. I would describe myself as an extroverted-introvert; a quiet observer. Sharing the beauty I see through my lens brings joy.

KIND WORDS:

"Laura is the absolute best at what she does. We had her do our wedding photos and got an engagement shoot included in the package. It felt like we were hanging out with an old friend the minute we met. Extremely professional, great website and format for filling out contracts/ shot request forms, really reasonable prices. She never put us into awkward or staged poses, just let us be our not-so-serious selves and captured us beautifully. The way she edits her pictures makes them look like you're in a fairy-tale. Seriously hire her for any of your photography needs, she is truly talented and a wonderful person to work with"

KIND WORDS:

"Laura did both my maternity and newborn photos. Her work is amazing and I was very happy with both shoots. She's fun and laid back and made me feel comfortable posing in front of a camera, which many people are not used to doing! She also handled my newborn baby delicately and took her time getting her into position. I liked that she had maternity gowns to choose from to wear and also that she styled the newborn shoot, all we had to do was show up."

KIND WORDS:

"Laura has been taking our photos for YEARS, and I’m always amazed with her talent and skills. She’s a natural at what she does and always super patient during shoots with feedings, naps and the unexpected. Laura has a soothing calmness about her which makes everyone feel at ease. She interacts with my girls and we have lots of laughs, which shows in her work. I can’t say enough about how happy I am that she’s captured every moment of my girls lives, exactly how I want them, and well beyond!"
