Hi, I’m Laura - a photographer, creative, and mama of two based in Auckland, New Zealand. After almost 20 years working professionally behind the lens, becoming a mother completely changed how I see photography. What began as a career in the advertising world, has evolved into something far more personal - a way of holding onto the fleeting seasons of motherhood, connection, and the people we love most. I specialise in maternity and motherhood photography, with a focus on creating an experience that feels relaxed, personal, and genuinely fun. I’m drawn to flowing water, warm light, vibrant tones, and salty air - imagery that feels emotional, feminine, and full of life. Sunrise beach sessions, glowing sunsets, underwater maternity, and quiet moments with your babies are the kinds of stories I love to capture most. I can’t wait to create something special with you.
“Laura is top tier!! She makes you feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera! She’s so encouraging and genuinely enthusiastic about what she is capturing for you. I highly recommend doing this. Such magical memories.”

“I had both an underwater and a beach maternity shoot with Laura and cannot recommend her enough. I was quite nervous about having my body photographed in such a vulnerable stage of pregnancy, but Laura immediately made me feel safe, calm, and supported. She guided me gently the whole time, especially in the water, and somehow also made the whole experience so much fun. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, honestly felt like a mermaid! The photos are beautiful, natural, and incredibly special.”

“Shooting with Laura was a beautiful experience - if you are thinking about it... do it! At the very end stages of pregnancy it is very hard to feel glamorous or confident, but Laura somehow created that environment for me. From the moment I arrived she created the most relaxed and calm experience and made me feel completely comfortable. She is clearly an expert in photography, being underwater and knows how to position you for the perfect shot - I don’t know how she makes it look so easy!”
