Hello Beautiful

MEET YOUR ARTIST

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend...

HI!! I am so glad you’re here. Thanks for stopping by to check me out. It’s me Justine, the owner of Justine LaRae Photography! Before you skim through this, let’s make sure that I am the photographer for you + that we are going to be the right fit for each other!

My Story

Hey there, it’s nice to meet ya! Me again, Justine and I'm married to the sweetest most loving hubby a girl could ask for + his name is Andrew. We also have two adorable little girls, Oaklyn + Ivy. They inspire me everyday to be the best wife, mom + business owner that I can be. I am a stay at home mom + photography is my job, a job that is so much more than just work. I am originally from small town Luverne, MN but moved to South Dakota in 2014, and I absolutely love it! Diet Mountain Dew is my morning coffee + slow mornings are my jam. When i’m not capturing your moments or staring at my computer screen editing, you’ll find me spending the most time I can with Andrew + our girls. I absolutely love fun colors but I’m also very much a neutral colored lover. You’ll find me wearing joggers + an oversized graphic tee 75% of the time, but I’m also obsessed with the new (old-coming back) trends, and pairing together super cute outfits. I love my sweet husband, precious little girls + just little things that make me happy such as; being outside, concerts, the smell of fresh rain, wide open spaces + small towns, golfing, online shopping, and being present with the ones I love most. I may not be the perfect fit for everyone + I’m completely fine with that, but I sure hope I am for you!

Capturing special moments + memories is a huge passion of mine, as we all know how fast time goes- I want to freeze those moments in time for myself, so let me do it for you too. We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. I decided to turn that passion into a career and helping you create those special moments in your life to freeze time for just a second. I am a self-taught licensed photographer who specializes in family, couples + wedding photography. I started this business in 2018 + I’m so glad I jumped out of that comfort zone to help turn those beautiful timeless moments into memories for couples + families. I want you to tell me all the details so I can capture every moment that will tell the real life-genuine you, the love, passion, giggles, nose crinkles, kisses, your personality + pure happiness during those moments.
