Past To Present Imaging

I have had the pleasure of being photographed countless times by Laurie. Seniors, boudior, engagement, maternities twice, newborns twice, and family pictures several times. She has never failed to deliver quality work while being completely professional. Even when my children were being terrors and it was a waste of time, she always came through and produced beautiful photographs. I have received so many compliments on the photographs hanging in my home, and I have made it a point to recommend her to everyone I know!

Past to present has done our photos for years including our maternity photos and newborn photos for our daughter and our son and of course our wedding photos they were of the highest quality and love working with her.

I have used Laurie for our family pictures over the years. She is one of the best... We have a large family and she did an amazing job!! I would recommend her 100%

Laurie has taken pictures of my daughter, I was beyond pleased. We get compliments on her work all the time. She was so nice to work with, extremely talented, considerate of what I wanted, and very patient with my young ones. I can't wait to have more sessions with her in the future!

I have used Past To Present Imaging on more than one occasion and have been absolutely blown away with her artistic abilities. I had my 7 year-old son photographed and explained that he was a "true boy" and she was really able to capture the true essence of this! I was also blown away by how easily she interacted with my son and how he was so comfortable with her. He was excited to pose the way she suggested and she even captured memorable candid shots of him. I also used Past To Present Imaging for our family photos a few years ago and these were also beautifully done! Moments that we weren't even aware were being captured were and are so touching to look at now. I recommend Past To Present Imaging to anyone who is searching for someone to capture memories and make them more beautiful than could ever be imagined! I will definitely use again and am planning to book a session shortly!

This Lady does the best work in town, I've had dealings with Laurie for many years, Her pictures are striking , I'm always amazed at the quality of the photo shoot itself! If she has declined any shoot there must be a very good reason, and its too bad that family members loss this bride the BEST PICTURES IN TOWN!

I've been working with Jim and Laurie for 16 years. I've had senior pictures, wedding, maternity pictures and soon baby pictures through Past to Present. I would never have trusted my wedding pictures to another company. I called Laurie 6 months before our wedding in Mexico and found it very easy to make arrangements for her travel, the payments for the pictures and talking about what types of pictures I was hoping for. Since I don't live in Grand Junction she really went out of her way to help me figure everything out. Our wedding photos are amazing and I could be more thrilled with the outcome!

So disappointing to get negative reviews like this from Leani, as I was really trying to be professional and kind in letting her know we were not a good match for working together, as I don't just take every wedding that comes along, we need to be a good match. Her father let me know early on that he wasn't pleased with my policies and wanted multiple copies of the production but didnt want to pay for them. I realized it wasn't a good fit for my business, this is my email to her.....

Hello Leani,

I spoke to your father today about payment and copies and such, and the further we got with the conversation, the more I realized that I am not a good fit for this job.

I am sorry, and I have nothing but best wishes for you and your future husband.

Thank you.



Sincerely,



Laurie Purcell

Past to present photography is amazing and very professional. They did our wedding and I could not believe how many pictures they had takin and how great they turned out (740) pictures!! Would gladly use them again! And did I mention what great people they are

I can not thank Past to Present Imaging enough! She did my wedding pictures for a very reasonable price! With that being said she also squeezed me into her schedule! Thank you Laurie, you are amazing! I loved my pictures!
