LauraAdamsArmer was born on January 12, 1874, in Sacramento, California.
Her family moved to San Francisco when Armer was young, and she attended public and private schools there until the age of 16, when she was forced to continue her schooling at home because of ill health.
Because San Francisco was an ethnic melting pot, Armer became infatuated at a young age with the various customs and traditions to which she was exposed.
Armer was an exhibitor at the San Francisco Photographic Salons of 1901,1902, and 1903, and active in numerous salons in the early 1920s.
