Laura Shimili Mears Photography

Having lived in a number of places before, Tirana my home town, Paris where I went to university and now London in the last ten years, I know how important it is to create special memories and hold on to them for many years to come. My work focuses on capturing the special moments in your life, whether it is expecting a baby, seeing your children grow from a newborn to a toddler, or celebrating your family together. When I am not working, you will see me going out with my 2 boys, catching up friends and family, reading WhatsApp messages, doing pilates and bootcamp, listening to music, scrolling through old photos of my boys & feeling emotional, planning our next holiday, cooking, reading a book. Please take a look at my gallery below and do get in touch to check availability or for more information. You can go to contact or email me directly at photography@shimilimears.com. I work from my home studio in Tooting Bec, at your home or outdoors in South West London. I am insured and a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP). I have trained with some amazing photographers in Children and Outdoor Photography, Studio and Portrait Lighting, Newborn and do regular mentoring sessions with an award winning photographer in Wandsworth.

Kind words

I found Laura through mum’s group on Facebook. I am highly appreciative of prompt response from Laura for my bump photoshoot query as I was some days away from giving birth. She put fair amount of time and effort which shows her passion for what she does. We love the final edited images. I have gone for the whole package as suggested by Laura. I highly recommend her.

I meet Laura through fcb and I had some emergency photos to get done, she was very reliable, friendly, flexible and professional. Even though was raining and I need it some photos taken on park she was amazing to go extra miles to make my vision happen. Thank you Laura for amazing photos and for your effort you put in.
