Become part of the story.
Laura Dark Photography creates fantasy portraits near Columbus, Ohio, in a full-service Groveport studio. Mermaids, wings, enchanted royalty, mythical creatures, dark fairy tales, and original characters can all become a starting point. Bring an idea, a reference, a color, or a feeling; we will help turn it into a session that belongs to you.
Immersive sets, dramatic lighting, more than 100 backgrounds, and selected gowns, wigs, headpieces, wings, accessories, and props support the transformation. No modeling experience is needed. Laura guides posing and expression, while the team plans which effects can be photographed practically and which need additional compositing.

Before You Book
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a finished fantasy concept before booking?
No. A character, mood, color, reference image, or one meaningful detail is enough to begin. Laura can help develop the visual direction.
Do I need to own a fantasy costume?
Not always. Selected gowns, wigs, headpieces, wings, and props are available. Confirm suitable pieces and sizes before your session. Specific cosplay or custom character clothing is supplied by the client.
Can you create mermaids, wings, or impossible environments?
Yes. Some elements use practical sets and props; others require compositing or extreme FX editing. Availability, feasibility, and any additional cost are discussed during planning.
Is professional hair and makeup included?
Classic and higher packages include one professional hair and makeup service per person. Additional styling designs and specialty character makeup may require added services. Basic does not include styling.
Which package should I choose?
Choose according to the number of people, looks, styling services, and finished images you want. The team can recommend a package after reviewing your concept; specialty animals, ethereal themes, and advanced editing have separate requirements.
Can couples or small groups book a fantasy session?
Yes. A shared concept can be planned for couples or small groups. Package recommendations depend on the participants, styling, looks, and finished images requested.
