My name is Laura and I take pictures of amazing people and businesses. I create authentic, beautiful images that tell a story. My work is most often seen on websites and social media, in magazines and annual reports.
For over ten years, I have been on a mission to capture the spark in people and what they do. I have photographed individuals, small businesses, and large corporations. I don't just point and shoot, no. I look, I focus and I feel and when the moment is right, then I push the button. There is an art to photography, and I honour the art. Click below to see some examples of my work.
Your photos are all about you: what you care about, what you're known for, and what you offer so that people can clearly understand what you do. My job is to capture you in the way you want to be portrayed.
Make your request. Tell me what you're doing and what you need. Be as specific or as vague as you wish and I will do the rest.
Tell me your idea. This could be as simple or complex. What do you want to convey to your audience? I promise to capture the qualities you care about.
The solution is simple: capture your brilliance. Show the world what you do. Authentically stand out from the rest.
Since starting my career, I have completed hundreds of photoshoots. Some of my fabulous clients include the University of Adelaide, The Government of Australia, The Government of South Australia, The Australian Research Council, The Special Olympics, Centres of Excellence, Foxtel, Bunnings Warehouse, Fairfax Media, lululemon athletica and so many more! My work has been featured on the cover of Sweet magazine, Adelaide Review and in the pages of Australian Yoga Journal, Yoga Life Magazine, Fleurieu Living Magazine and many more.
Artist, photographer, wife, mother; 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 an afternoon in one of our wine regions. I like knitting Vogue, practing drawing and painting, playing the harmonium and teaching meditation, yoga and Pilates.
Personal Branding photography are images and video that tells your story with the intention of defining your your professional identity. This type of content is eye-catching and impressive. Think of these photos like having a preview into who you are at work and what you're like to work with. These images are designed to build know, like and trust so that people feel comfortable reaching out to you, referencing you, and promoting you.
Planning an upcoming conference or special event? Capture your people looking their best. These images will appear in the press, on social media, in the annual report, and viewed by the board and your future clients. 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.
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 family, I capture the love and joy present. We do some group photos of you together but mostly candid moments taken in a documentary style with the intention of capturing your family at this moment in time. I mainly hold space for you to be together in a beautiful setting. Nothing stuffy or staged, no pressure, just pure presence. I also don't post your family photos from our shoot online.
