Hi, I’m Laura
I’m a Wedding and Newborn Photographer based in beautiful Brisbane, Australia. Seriously, this city is so underrated and so close to some pretty great places in South East Queensland.
I love photography and dogs. Aaaaallll the dogs (and some cats too). I volunteer with a few local rescue organisations by taking photos to help fur babies find their forever homes. In my spare time I also like to sew.
When I'm not on location doing photos, or sitting at my computer editing, my life revolves around my dogs. Max is a kelpie cross border collie and he is the sweetest, calmest dog I could have ever asked for. He came from a rescue pretty much pre-trained and is the best decision I ever made. Trust me, everyone who meets him loves him. Miss Maya the poodle is the newest member of the crew and is a big, silly, goof ball. She loves everyone and forgets how big she is when she bounds up to you to cover you in kisses. They make pretty great work colleagues although I do often find them asleep on the job.
I like to take pretty pictures and occasionally I sew pretty things. I’m a bit silly, I like a good dad joke and I survive on carbs and sugar. I could talk under wet cement but I can also be quiet and sneaky like a ninja when I have a camera in my hand, until my clumsy gets the best of me and I fall over something. I have a “The Good Place” or “Parks and Recreation” reference for almost anything that happens to me. I love every dog and baby I’ve ever met.
What’s different about what I offer?
There are no hidden costs to your session. My session fee includes my travel to you (within reasonable distance of Brisbane), our session time together and then an online gallery which includes my promised minimum number of images but is not limited to that number if we get plenty of beautiful photos. You can download the photos and either print them through the online gallery or print them yourself. There is no upsell on any products but the option is there if you want it.
My colours are true to life. I don’t wash out the greens, or make your skin look grey or overly saturated to get the tones to be all the same. I’m all about enhancing what your eyes see in real life and life is all about colour! I think that will make my photos timeless and what makes me and my photos stand out against a sea of work that all looks the same.
I do sneak peeks of all my sessions. You’ll receive a handful of photos within 2 days so you have something to post on your socials or share with family while you wait for your gallery to be sent (up to 4 weeks for regular sessions and up to 6 weeks for weddings).
The most important part of your session for me is making you feel comfortable. If you’re getting married, please send me all your ideas, or I can suggest vendors I love. I’m part of your team, fill me in on all your details. For regular shoots, before your session I’ll give you advice on styling if you want it and we’ll collaborate on location and vibe. At your session I’m the ultimate hype girl. I’ll reassure you of how great you look, give you prompts and actions to do so you don’t feel like you are just sitting awkwardly and will give you sneaky views of the back of my camera so you can see the magic we’re making together. You’ll walk away feeling comfortable, gorgeous and just like you spent a fun hang sesh with a friend.

“We just had a pizza date in our living room looking at the photos together. Holy moly they are amazing. Actually, amazing doesn’t really come close to describing them. We are so incredibly lucky to have such a perfect capture of us. You have completely blown us away with the level of details and thoughtfulness is every photo. Just incredible. Thank you so much” - Chloe
