A QUICK INTRO.
Hi, I’m Laura!
I’ll be honest in that I find the “About Me” page a bit awkward to write. At the same time, I do love a good browse through myself at other peoples pages so I get it.
I recognise that I ask my families to document and (if they want), share their stories, so the least I can do is share some of my photography story.
Thank you for taking the time to be here and happy scrolling.

WHERE IT STARTED
Back in 2007/8 is when the travel bug found me, and with it, the photography bug. My early days with my point and shoot Nikon Coolpix camera included quite a bit of intense sepia and questionable filters, but that was apparently part of the creative process I needed to go through. Thankfully, that is over.
As I traveled over the next few years, I was fascinated by the way daily life was shaped by the influences of culture, environment and society– how it often felt both strikingly familiar yet entirely unique.
WHERE IT’S TAKEN ME.
This curiosity for observing how we move within our various environments and navigate through life uniquely, has been a constant thread in my photography.
We all are filled with mini stories and, when put together, make up this one fragile life that we are given. I believe these stories, our daily stories, are so valuable as I find images of these stories can teach us a little bit more about ourselves, our loved ones and our place in this world.
And so, in 2016 I decided to make my first documentary family film for a friend, capturing a snippet of their daily life as they started to grow their family. This led me to want to document more stories and life experiences that are closer to home and feel both personal and profoundly shared.

WHERE I WANT MY WORK TO GO.
Through the art of video or photos, my dream is to craft a wide range of personal narratives that deeply resonate with individual experiences – stories that inspire a proud sense of belonging, helps forge deeper connection and offer a meaningful way for people to feel seen and understood.
