You wanted to see more stuff from Albania, my home You wanted to see more stuff from Albania, my home country so I oblige. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Especially on a day like this, isolating at home because of Covid 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was from our last stay there in August and photos are from the small village of Vuno, one of the traditional villages in the albanian riviera; in the south of the country which is north of Greece. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old houses restored and cobbled streets that take you up the hill offering beautiful views from the top of the Ionian sea and olive groves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some other accounts that also have beautiful views of Albania, see 👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @secret.albania @kalafestival @taste_and_travel_with_stella @flori_bike_ @tek_beba
Our plans changed and we weren’t able to go & se Our plans changed and we weren’t able to go & see grandparents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been a long time!!! ❤️❤️
A few more pics from this lovely shoot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was on the occasion of celebrating a special milestone, turning one!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How the world becomes more exciting and full of opportunities at that age??? 😆😍😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And how children embrace it without holding back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Their enthusiasm is infectious ❤️❤️
In the midst of all that is going on there are sti In the midst of all that is going on there are still lots of beautiful things we can love and enjoy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photos like these are so precious especially when seeing family members that live away is not possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Taking photographs of these special moments and sending them to family is the closest they can get to their loved ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this is you, if you can relate get in touch in my bio ❤️
I hope you’re having a good day so far. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love this quote and was obsessed for a while with Emily Bronte & her book Wuthering Heights. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To the point that I insisted Roger read the book in the early days and we would occasionally call each other Catherine and Heathcliff 🤣🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I actually read the book in French while still living in France so am thinking i might read it again in English, in the original language after all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Laura x
These flowers are still going and looking still n These flowers are still going and looking still nice, I don’t know how though??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love the shape and colours in this one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All the macro shots of flowers are available in prints as well and available to order by message.
How’s your day been? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had a shoot this afternoon, a double family session in the home and a headshots session at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The family was lovely and also had a strong independent cat 🐱 who knew when she wanted to be with the family in the photos 😍🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So was their little girl. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the meantime another pic of these beauties, my current obsession in the house ❤️ 😂
I have to admit to a little secret, my slight obse I have to admit to a little secret, my slight obsession with autumn colours and flowers 😍 🍂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved receiving these flowers and displaying them in my house. Luckily they last for a good while, it’s been more than 2 weeks since I received them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which has given me plenty of time to play around and take hundreds of photos of them in every possible combination 😂 !!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Together in a lovely bunch as here 💐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or individually against different backgrounds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In different lights, on the table, on the floor, on the kitchen island 🙈😂 so your will see some of these again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also just to add that having these flowers in my home, looking at them and being reminded of the beauty of simple things, helps me process the latest news and the new restrictions in London ☹️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although we could see this coming, it’s different when it actually happens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How are you feeling about the restrictions in London?
I love meeting new families through my photography I love meeting new families through my photography work and getting to know where they come from and why they have chosen London as their current residence is fascinating! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ London is home to families from so many different places it’s incredible and I love that diversity and richness to it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This family moved from New York to London and have been loving it here since they moved. Apart from the recent months of covid related restrictions London has so much to offer and is such a ana amazing experience for parents and children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Look at that little one who started being herself and playing naturally after the first few minutes of feeling a little shy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love doing this, capturing beautiful family memories for families that come from all over the world in London!! ❤️❤️
Photography prints are now available and I will be Photography prints are now available and I will be adding them to my shop on my website .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They are great for gifting or displaying in your home and brightening moods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographs of the flowers were taken in Devon in a field of wild flowers 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They cost £25 for an A4 size print and 50% of the price goes to Cup of Uji charity in Kenya, a charity dear to me as their mission is so meaningful @cupofuji Providing children with a cup of porridge in school to keep them from extreme poverty. For now the charity is focusing on helping the families with essential items while schools remain closed due to coronavirus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To order a print for now please message me, while I get the link to buy from the shop ready. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Laura x

Visited the exhibition put together from Vision 20 Visited the exhibition put together from Vision 2020 project and the lovely Sophie Sheinwald and Annie Murray. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So many touching and tough stories of the healthcare heroes that were called upon to work in Intensive Care Units across the country during the first wave of the pandemic from Covid19. My portrait of a dermatologist redeployed to the ICU unit to care for covid19 patients, above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out my stories for a selection of my favourite portraits and the stories that go with them from the 100 photographers involved in the project. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also so special to be able to go to a physical exhibition in the current climate, of course wearing masks and social distancing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This project is amazing and can’t wait for the next steps, the bigger event next year in London.

I am delighted that I was selected to be part of t I am delighted that I was selected to be part of the fantastic 2020 Vision Project @2020visionp - CREATING A TRIBUTE for the healthcare workers behind the mask during the Covid 19 pandemic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The project is showing through the photographs of 100 photographers, the faces and the human beings behind the mask. At a time when, at work all that could be seen of them, were the masks!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The project is having an exhibition in London this weekend and I can’t wait to go and see all the other photographs and the portrait I took of Victoria @drvictoriahogarth ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Such a fabulous project and from only seeing a video of the project on its website, I can be certain that some tears will run down my cheeks (it’s my Albanian way of expressing emotions 🤣) on Sunday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m going prepared with tissues, my boys next to me and also meeting up with Victoria there and the organisers whom I can’t wait to meet in person - 2 fabulous photographers who made this all possible Sophie Sheinwald @sophie_snap and Annie Murray @annierocks3. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coming together in adversity is where we all find strength and are the better versions of ourselves ❤️❤️
