Are you ready to record your story in simple and beautiful photographs with the people you care the most about?
Hi I am Laura, I am a portrait photographer based in London, England, WELCOME!
I would love to record your story, with those that you love. That can be with your family, your children, your friends, your colleagues or it can be just you!
When was the last time you were photographed professionally?
The memories we create, the little stories we record are the stories of our lives. They have value and purpose.
All the people I photograph, are normal people like you and me. I believe we can all be on the cover of magazines.
Are you ready to be on the front cover of your story?

Outdoor Family Photography
Outdoor family photoshoots are now in full swing and are taking place in local parks in South West London or in Central London.
Shoots in Central London can be great fun, especially those taken at iconic London landmarks or parks.
Upon booking, I will send you my fantastic style notes so you can prepare without getting stressed out about the photoshoot. These notes include tips on: what to wear, what to bring with you & how to get the kids ready.
Newborn Photography in your home
Family and Newborn Photographs can take place in the comfort of your own home. You can book a photoshoot today in complete confidence that every effort will be made to ensure the shoot proceeds safely.
Newborn babies usually feel most comfortable in their own environment, and when the baby is happy, arents are too!
However, I also offer newborn and maternity newborn photography in my home studio which is a homely environment and also very comfortable for both babies and parents.

I love Mediterranean food, french crepes (galettes) and a glass of proseco in a summer’s evening. We go on holidays to the South of Albania, my home country every year for a month, soaking in the sun and the salty waters of the Ionian Sea.
Through my work I also support a number of charities with fundraising events I run regularly where I offer photography in exchange of contributions.

Publications and Awards
I was so happy to have one of my photos published on Vogue Italia Online in May 2020. I took this photo in a poppy field in Guilford; such a beautiful place! There have been a few more added to my Vogue portfolio this year, photos taken in Wales and in Seven Sisters Cliffs.
I was also delighted to win two Bronze Awards from the Portrait Masters International Awards, an assesment of high professional standards in November 2021.
The winning images are from a photoshoot with a client from my 40 over 40 campaing. As a busy mum and professional, it was a special experience to be able to take these portratis that celebrate her for who she is today.
