Meet Laura Cherock
Senior Photographer based in Sewickley, Pennsylvania
Hi, I'm Laura.
As the mom of a recent high school graduate, I've experienced firsthand just how quickly senior year disappears. One day you're thinking about college applications, and before you know it, you're watching them walk across the graduation stage.
That's why I became so passionate about capturing these moments before they become memories.
I also realized that the most precious moments weren't always the posed portraits. They were the laughter between poses, the wind catching your hair, the smile after a joke, and the confidence that appears when you stop thinking about the camera.
Those moments deserve to be remembered, too. That's why every session includes a keepsake senior film—to preserve the movement, personality, and genuine moments that portraits alone can't capture.
Because years from now, I don't want you to just see their smile. I want you to feel their laugh.
This season is worth remembering.
Senior portraits aren't just for the yearbook.
They're the photographs you'll pull from albums years from now... the keepsake film you'll watch before graduation parties... the artwork your family will pass every day in your home.
What I Believe
Every senior deserves portraits that feel genuine—not stiff or overly posed.
What You Can Expect
I'll guide you through every pose so you never have to wonder what to do.
What You'll Take Home
Portraits, a keepsake film, and artwork your family will treasure for years.
A Little More About Me
Before becoming a photographer, I earned my degree in Architectural Engineering from Penn State. My engineering background taught me to appreciate thoughtful design, light, and composition—skills that now influence every session I create.
My favorite things
Family and my fave bullmastiff
Traveling and finding the local coffee shop
Scouting new locations
Volunteering in for local nonprofits
Attending a themed fundraiser gala
Photography combines everything I love—connecting with people, creating meaningful artwork, and preserving memories that only become more valuable with time.
It's a privilege to be invited into such an important chapter in a family's story.
I'm grateful to have my work published alongside talented photographers across the country. I believe in sharing ideas, encouraging other artists, and continually growing so every senior receives my very best work.
Let’s create something your family will treasure.
Whether you're looking for a fully customized senior portrait experience or a beautiful Mini Session, I'd love to help you celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime season. Get started by requesting my senior magazine.
