“There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter & noise.”

Sarah Colette LaCour’s wide world. Shot with Leica M9.

“I was suddenly seeing, feeling, and listening as a child sees, feels, and listens. It was one of those rare interludes that can never be repeated, a time of enchantment.” – E.B. White

"We live life through the moments that shape us."

This simple statement summarizes our mission at LaCour: to discreetly document the moments that shape your life, your story and your legacy.

That's why we are honored to partner with Queensberry, master book crafters in New Zealand who produce extraordinary albums. We searched for a partner that would not only provide superlative service, but also offer a timeless heirloom worthy of sheltering & showcasing our client's cherished memories. When we discovered Queensberry, we knew their books were the perfect treasure for our clients! Not only are Queensberry books classic, they are made using the finest materials that withstand the test of time.

Please explore their new website to learn more about their history, values and vision. Offering their albums to you is our privilege.

"If the sight of blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."
 – Eleonora Duse

The LaCour family spent a summer vacation steeped in the flavor of bold wines, rich pastas and alluring truffles.

Connecting with our Italian roots, we rented a house in Northern Italy's "Langhe" region. The Langhe's landscape is infused with soft languor and delicate charm. Churches and castles stand like sentries situated above orderly rows of vines and hazelnut trees. The vistas are vivid, but the simplicity of slowness seems most memorable. I was able to slow down for the first time in over a year.

It's amazing what I see when I slow down.
