As the holidays are upon us and family and friends gather to celebrate the birth of our Lord and the end of another year, I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all those who have believed in LC Photographers and Laura Chiles Photographer through the years.
Read MoreChristmas is around the corner and it's a time for families to gather and celebrate the season of gratefulness, hope, and happiness. It's also a time for reunions and family traveling and taking time out of our busy lives to be together.
Read MoreI’ve said it before, but I LOVE football. But this season at Katy Taylor High School has been a record-breaking season as the boys and coaches have brought the team to the state quarterfinals this weekend at NRG.
Read MoreI love Friday night! Walking onto the field and being a part of a dance that has so many moving parts from the trainers, the band, the cheerleaders, coaches, the flagmen and then of course the football players.
Read MoreIt's another school year which means another round of graduating high school seniors. Every year I get so excited for the seniors that I get to meet and photograph. Finding their personalities and having the opportunity to capture who they are in front of my camera. I approach it by trying to find who they were and who they are going to be.
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again! Time for FOOTBALL! For a girl that went to a state championship high school football team and then to Penn State when they won the Rose Bowl and became national champions, it’s safe to say that football is in my blood! Some would say I bleed blue and white ;-)
Read MoreSo I didn’t grow up with a lake life mentality. We were more a beach family. Sand and waves are more my speed. And then we would hike in the mountains, so there were a lot of streams and creeks. Lakes are more foreign to me.
Read MoreRecently I was asked why I blog. My first response was a joke. I said that I had a lot to say poking fun at how I like to talk. But then as we were talking she helped me identify why I am writing a blog on a photography page, and it’s because it’s more about the bigger picture.

And as I struggled through a lot of our summer I can agree I'm a stronger wife, mother, volunteer, photographer, person and friend with my friends walking with me.
Read MoreIt's been a roller coaster of the first half of the summer. We've had 6 sick doctor visits, 2 ER visits in FIVE days, swim season, 2 overnight summer camps, VBS, tutoring, MAC camp (strength and conditioning) and no break. I'm constantly amazed that we manage to feed all the boxes: fun, education, God, family, date night, family time, play dates, more fun, some rest, community, scouts, independence, challenges, and more fun.
Read MoreClass of 2019 was my busiest senior season so far!
We had so much fun finding perfect locations, exploring, incorporating animals and making priceless photographs to document the end of high school and the transition to adulthood.
I have so many amazing memories of my 2019 seniors. Several of them I've watched grow up, some of them I got to watch them grow up this year on the sidelines, some of them I've known their moms for years through working in the community, and all of them rooted themselves in my heart.
Read MoreIn our house we do a summer fun list. This is our 7th year doing one.
Read MoreWelcome to our new branding and new website! I am so excited as this is over 5 years overdue.
Read MoreSummer in our house means early morning swim practices and mama scrambling to establish a routine while I frantically try to cram 6 hours of work in the 2.5 hours I get in between meal prep and refereeing while being a social organizer. Whew! Working from home with a full time business is NO JOKE!
