Hi, my name is Laura and I take pictures of amazing people and businesses. I create beautiful, authentic images that tell a story. My work is most often seen on websites, social media, marketing material, in magazines and annual reports.
Click on the images below to see some of the work I've done.
Since starting my career, I have completed over 1000 photo shoots. Some of my fabulous clients include the University of Adelaide, University of Melbourne, The Australian Research Council, The Special Olympics, The Centre of Excellence in Particle Physics, The Government of South Australia, Fairfax Media, lululemon athletica, Yasodhara Ashram and many more. My work has been featured on the cover of Sweet magazine, Review Magazine and in the pages of Australian Yoga Journal, Yoga Life Magazine, Fleurieu Living Magazine and many more.
Artist, photographer, yoga instructor, wife; I shoot the side of you you never get to see; the fleeting essence that appears when your mind quiets down and your heart has an opportunity to shine through. I don't judge. I give you the space which gives me the access. I was born to take photos, to capture this beautiful world, and I do it with awareness and deliver on time.
I love to observe my surroundings and share what I see with others. I am always thinking in terms of images and projects. I love capturing intelligent images that interupt, or align with, people's perceptions of the world or how they perceive themselves.
Coffee is a great place to start. We can begin by discussing your goals, ideas and your aspirations. I will show you more examples of my work related specifically to what you need. This is an optional part of the process gives me a sense of who you are and what you need from me. When you work with me know that anything is possible.
My all-time favourite hobby in the world is skiing, and apart from family and friends it's what I miss the most about Canada. I love the outdoors; hiking in the Adelaide Hills, walking along the beach (South Australia has some incredible beaches) or spending a day in one of the wine regions. I like a good game of chess, knitting Vogue, practing drawing and painting, playing the clarinet and teaching yoga and Pilates.
Planning an upcoming conference or special event? I know you need to capture your presenters, delegates and exhibitors looking their best and I can do that for you. These images will appear in the media, online, in the annual report, and viewed by the board and your future conference attendees. I will also capture all the important highlights and eye-catching details that will tell the story of a successful event and make those who didn't attend, wish they had.
Did you know that a selfie from a phone actually distorts your facial features? You need a proper photo taken by an experienced professional photographer who can capture your best side. This shoot is customised for each individual. Come to my studio in Bowden or meet me on location. Professional hair, makeup and wardrobe styling and group rates available
Inspire your people! Show them who you are and what you're up to. You are an amazing human being and with the right photographer (me) I will capture your brilliance. I create a photo story for your website or blog that builds a relatedness people can trust. These photos will clearly convey the qualities that make you unique and allow people to 'get' what you do. I fully support you every step of the way and ensure you are well prepared for your shoot. This service is designed for your specific needs. Professional styling available.
When I photograph a wedding, I capture the love and joy present on your special day. Candid moments taken in a documentary style with the intention of capturing your wedding in the most beautiful way.
Laura has an amazing ability to see the beauty in the everyday. Working with her has been a great experience.
I'm so happy with my photos, they are a blessing and a joy. I'm so very happy you are sharing your unique gift with us all
Thanks so much for your beautiful work at the baby shower. The photos are just gorgeous! I think you captured the day perfectly. It really was such a great gift to have you there.
I love my photos! They're exactly what I wanted for my website and social media
