Pure Life Photography by Laura Davis

Pure Life Photography by Laura Davis Award-winning newborn, child, and family photographer serving Jacksonville, FL area families

Family is very important to me and I want to capture all of those special moments with forever memories through photography. I love to photograph a child at any age, whether it be a newborn, through their first year when they are changing so fast, and beyond. I pour my heart and soul into each photograph that I create for you of your family. Let me into your life for a brief moment so I can capture your special family moments that you will have for a lifetime!

My first studio was my dining room. 🤍

I would move the dining room table out of the way, set everything up, photograph my clients, and then put my house back together again.

From there came a tiny rented room inside a real estate office. Then a bigger space I shared with Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency—complete with brown carpet and studio lights because beautiful natural light definitely wasn't part of the deal.

Then COVID happened.

With so much uncertainty, I couldn't bring myself to commit to another three-year lease, so I downsized again. This time to a teeny little office inside a 3D ultrasound space. It was small, but I made it cute, made it work, and kept photographing your families.

And eventually... I found home.

My studio today is everything I dreamed about during all those years of moving tables and making little spaces work. I chose the floors, the doors, even the doorknobs. I have beautiful natural light, an entire room for my client wardrobe, a space for ordering appointments, and room to create.

But looking back at these spaces, the thing that gets me isn't how much the studios have changed.

It's that you kept showing up.

You trusted me in my dining room.

You trusted me with the brown carpet and studio lights.

You trusted me in the tiny office.

And you trust me here.

You didn't wait until I had the beautiful studio.

You helped me build the business that made the beautiful studio possible.

As I celebrate 15 years of Pure Life Photography this September, I don't think I'll ever be able to adequately say how grateful I am for that.

Thank you for growing with me. Thank you for trusting me with your families. And thank you for being part of this story.

Cheers to 15 years—and to the people who made them possible.

Your photos were never meant to live forever on your phone. 🤍

Albums, framed artwork, gallery walls, and statement pieces give those images a place in your everyday life, where you can actually see them, enjoy them, and eventually pass them down.

And you don’t have to figure out what to print, what size to choose, or where everything should go on your own.

I’ll help you select your favorite images and create pieces that feel right for your home and your family.

Because the best part of having beautiful photos is getting to live with them.

Last year, I got an email from a mom before their Santa session with a little request…

She had a surprise for her kids and wanted to know if Santa could be the one to give it to them.

Ummm… YES. 🎅🏻❤️

So when they came to see Santa, he didn't just ask what they wanted for Christmas.

He had a surprise waiting for them.

Tickets for her son to go see the Georgia Bulldogs play with his dad 🏈 — and a special mommy + daughter night planned just for the girls. ❤️

And THIS is why I love our Santa Experience so much.

It's not five minutes of "sit here, smile at Santa, take a picture."

It's an EXPERIENCE.

Santa knows their names. He talks to them. He listens to their Christmas wishes. He laughs with them. He makes them feel like, for those few minutes, Santa really does know exactly who they are.

And sometimes… he even knows a secret or two. 😉

Can you imagine being little and having Santa Claus himself surprise you with tickets to a Georgia game with your dad?!

They'll tell that story for YEARS.

"Remember when Santa knew we were going to the Georgia game?!"

That's the kind of Christmas magic I want to create.

Because eventually they're going to figure out how all of this works. ❤️ But while they still believe? I want to make it as magical as I possibly can.

This isn't just a Santa picture.

It's a one-of-a-kind Christmas experience they'll talk about long after the session is over — and you'll have the photographs to remember exactly what their faces looked like when the magic felt completely real. 🎅🏻✨

Santa returns to Pure Life Photography November 15th + 16th.

If you’ve been going back and forth on maternity photos, this one’s for you. 🤍

Maybe you don’t feel quite like yourself right now.

Maybe being in front of the camera isn’t your thing.

Maybe you’re wondering if it’s really worth the investment.

All of those feelings are completely normal.

The goal isn’t to make you look like someone else or expect you to know what to do.

It’s to make the experience feel easy, guide you through every step, and create something that still feels like you.

Because this season is short, and once it’s gone, you can’t recreate it.

If maternity photos have been on your mind, comment MATERNITY or send me a DM.

I’m happy to talk you through it!

15 years. 🤍

Fifteen years ago, I could never have imagined all of the families I would meet, the babies I would watch grow, or the moments I would have the privilege of preserving.

Some of you trusted me with your newborn and came back year after year.

Some of you found me somewhere in the middle.

And some of you are brand new here.

Every single one of you has been part of this story.

This September, Pure Life Photography turns 15, and instead of spending the month talking about us, I want to spend it celebrating YOU.

The families who trusted me.

The moms who handed me their babies.

The kids I've watched grow up.

The clients who came back again and again.

The people who told their friends about me.

You are the reason this little business became something I never could have imagined 15 years ago.

So this month is simply about saying...
thank you.

Cheers to 15 years — and to the people who made them possible.

With much love,
Laura

Wondering what to wear for your maternity session? You have options!🤍

We can keep it simple with jeans and a bra, go a little more editorial with a blazer, or lean into something soft and romantic with a flowy or fitted gown.

And the best part? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

My client closet includes dozens of dresses and gowns to choose from, and we’ll plan your looks together so everything feels flattering, cohesive, and completely you.

Your maternity session should feel easy from start to finish.

Comment MATERNITY and I’ll send you details on my full-service sessions!

Pregnancy is a season you'll only get once and it deserves to be celebrated🤰🏻✨

That's the heart behind the maternity experience at Pure Life Photography. It starts before the camera ever comes out, with a real conversation about your vision, your style, and what this season means to you.

From there, we plan your looks together, you'll have access to a client closet full of beautiful maternity pieces, so you never have to stress about what to wear.

On the day of your session, you're pampered first. Professional hair and makeup lets you relax and settle into the experience instead of rushing into it.

And if posing makes you nervous, don't worry. You won't need any experience. I'll guide you through every detail, every angle, every moment, so all you have to do is be present.

Together, we'll create more than just one beautiful look, a full range of images that feel timeless, elevated, and unmistakably you.

Then comes the best part: you'll sit down and see your finished images for the first time, choosing the ones that speak to you most.

From there, I create albums and artwork so these memories aren't just saved on a hard drive, they're something you can hold, display, and enjoy every single day.

This isn't just a photoshoot. It's an experience made to help you feel seen, celebrated, and beautifully you, right in the middle of one of life's most incredible seasons. 🤍

You probably won’t remember every detail of pregnancy.

The way your belly looked.
The way you felt waiting to meet them.
The little in-between moments that felt ordinary at the time.

That’s why the photos matter.

Not because everything has to be perfectly documented, but because this version of you only exists for a little while.

And one day, these images become more than maternity photos. They become part of your family’s story.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, comment MATERNITY and I’ll send you the details before this season passes.
