Where real families come exactly as they are.
I work with families who want more than a perfectly posed photo.
You want connection, laughter, real life and the moments that make you you.
Why I do what I do.
Not “perfect.”
Not posed.
Just real.
I know the reasons we put it off all too well
“I’ll wait till I feel better about my body.”
“The kids won’t behave.”
But these are the years that matter most.
The loud, the messy, the love in between.
And mums, one day your kids will go searching for photos of you.
Make sure they find them.
The photos you’ll treasure most won’t be the perfect ones,
they’ll be the ones that feel like home
This isn’t a photoshoot.
It’s time together.
- I bring over ten years experience photographing families, newborns and children of every temperament and energy.
- I’m a neurodivergent mum of three so I get overstimulation, shy kids, and the art of gentle redirection.
- You’ll have access to my full client wardrobe so there's no need to stress about outfits.
- My studio is designed to feel like a second home. Welcoming, calm, full of light.
- I guide, but never force. Your family leads and I document the magic that unfolds.
There's 100 photographers out there, but here’s why families keep coming back to me...
Is this for you?
❊ You want family photos that feel natural, relaxed, real, and full of connection.
❊ You’re not interested in chasing perfection. You’d rather document the little moments as they unfold.
❊ You want someone who understands kids, who won’t expect them to sit still or smile on command.
❊ You value simplicity, softness, and honest emotion. And you want to feel supported, not rushed.

Laura made us feel so comfortable from the moment we walked into her beautiful studio. She was incredibly patient with my older two and had the most gentle, calming touch with my newborn. She truly has a way with babies! The photos she created are something we will treasure forever.

Laura made our newborn shoot so welcoming and enjoyable. She captured the most precious memories I will cherish for life. I love how she provides a complimentary wardrobe for mum & bub to use!
- TAMARA, Newborn session
I know I have already thanked you but I’m going to again. The photos are truly stunning. I cried looking at them. They are so special to us especially as Rory is our last baby and I barely get into any photos with the kids
