From

My Lens

to Yours

 

 

“When memories fade and our story changes, our written words and the captured light that once framed those fleeting moments will carry them long after we forget.”



 – Tony, Laugh Out Loud Smiles

 

 

Hey, my name is Tony Borrelli

 

 

 

Hi, I’m Tony — photographer, photo booth guy, and the chaos-loving heart behind Laugh Out Loud Smiles.  I'm Italian, loud in a big family, and the kind where kids call you just “Uncle,” not your name. I overthink everything, talk too much, and feel everything more than I probably should. My life isn’t polished, and neither is this journal.


But it is honest. And personal. It’s where I share the stories I get to tell - and the ones I’m still figuring out how to write myself.


Here you’ll find client moments that moved me, tips to help you prep for your next session, and real advice to grow your business - alongside me, while I grow mine. Maybe, if I’m doing this right, you’ll even feel a little more seen along the way.


And when in doubt, check the outfit tips - no one wants to end up on the next People of Walmart post.


- Let’s tell yours.
