meet Laura
your Mandurah newborn & family photographer
Because the early years don’t slow down for anyone.
I picked up a camera when my first daughter was born.
That newborn haze felt like it was slipping away too fast, every day she looked different, every sound and stretch changed. I was scared I’d forget it all.
So I started photographing her. Every day. Every detail.
What began as a way to hold onto my own memories became something much bigger. I started photographing children’s fashion while raising my three girls, and that season taught me so much... that photography doesn’t need to be serious. It can be light, playful, silly. That’s where the real moments live.
Those early shoots led to my work being featured twice in British Vogue and in Mamamia Magazine. But honestly? What mattered more was realising how powerful photography can be - how it can stop time for a second and bring you straight back to exactly how it felt in that moment, even if brain fog had long wiped that memory away.
Why I do what I do
I started this business not just to take beautiful photos, but to give mothers space to breathe.
As a mum of three girls I know how loud, messy, and overwhelming this season can be. And I also know how deeply you want to remember it... not just how it looked, but how it felt to hold your babies close, to see them grow, to be in the photo with them instead of behind the camera.
That’s what this experience is built around.
“You don’t need to be perfect,just present.”
Every family deserves to feel seen
Three kids later, I don’t remember every stage ... the sleepless nights, the soft curls, the way their hands fit into mine, but the photos bring it all back.
That’s what I want for you too.
Photographs that are gentle and timeless, but also alive. That hold the warmth, chaos, and truth of your family exactly as it is right now.
In my Golden Bay studio, I photograph families across Mandurah and Perth in a way that feels calm and unhurried. I’ll guide when it helps, step back when it matters, and make sure you always feel safe and seen.
My approach
As a neurodivergent mum myself, I know how much difference it makes when an environment feels supportive and flexible.
My sessions are built for that.
If your child can’t sit still, if you need extra time or quiet, if your family runs on a rhythm of its own... that’s all welcome here.
I don’t expect anyone to perform.
We go slow, follow comfort, and let your real moments unfold naturally.
Sessions with me feel more like catching up with a friend than a photoshoot.
There’s laughter, quiet moments, snacks for little hands, time to feed, and always space to breathe.
Whether we’re at the studio or on the beach, my goal is the same... to make the experience calm, beautiful, and tailored to your family from start to finish.
