Wedding, Family, Maternity & Newborn Photographer In Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, & The Cotswolds.
Hey, I’m Laura
Real moments, Real Memories
emotive photography for those Who Cherish the Little Moments That Mean Everything
For families who find magic in the everyday—the sleepy newborn stretches, the wild toddler laughter, the quiet embrace between parents after a long day.
For mothers who want to freeze time, holding onto the fleeting moments of pregnancy, babyhood, and childhood before they slip away.
For couples who crave more than just posed photos—they want images that feel like them. The stolen glances, the inside jokes, the way their hands find each other without thinking. A love story told in the little moments.
For those who believe the best photos aren’t posed—they’re felt
Hey there mama
When was the last time you stepped in front of the camera—not for someone else, but for you? As mothers, we’re so often behind the lens, capturing everyone else’s moments, that our own stories can go undocumented. But your journey into motherhood, whether it’s your first step or a continuation, deserves to be celebrated, too.
Let’s document your story together, with images that reflect the deep love you hold for those who mean the most to you. Because one day, when you look back on these moments, you’ll be so glad you chose to honor this season of life.
Why Me?
“I’ll put you at ease in front of the camera to ensure you have the most magical and positive experience possible.”
I’m fun, vibrant, warm, and caring, both personally and professionally. I’ll put you at ease in front of the camera to ensure you have the most magical and positive experience possible. I’m also a romantic and firmly believe in romanticising your own life. My work evokes feelings of nostalgia, and it’s hugely important to me to capture the powerful connections between those in front of my lens. Whether it’s an empowering maternity shoot, documenting your story with your partner, capturing the essence of your newborn, or a captivating branding shoot, I’m here to help tell your tale.

GLOUCESTER & BEYOND
Based in Gloucestershire, I serve the gorgeous areas of Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, the Cotswolds, and the Forest of Dean with Family, Motherhood & Wedding Photography. No matter where your story unfolds, I’m always ready to travel to capture the moments that matter most to you. If you are outside my area but still feel like I am the perfect fit for you, I want to hear from you!
here’s my why;
There's something magical about freezing a moment in time – a child's laughter, a couple's first dance, the quiet bond between family members – and turning it into a lasting memory. This passion drives me to seek out the beauty in every situation, whether it's the soft light of dawn or the spontaneous joy of a family playing together.
I approach each session with the goal of capturing the essence of your story, creating images that evoke emotion and make people feel like they’ve arrived home.
The heart of a mother
“Motherhood is the quiet strength that carries you through sleepless nights and the boundless love that makes even the simple moments extraordinary.”
It’s how a child’s hand fits perfectly into yours, the shared giggles over bedtime stories, and the unspoken understanding in a glance. For me, photographing mothers is an honour and a joy. It’s about more than just capturing images; it’s about preserving the essence of these profound moments. Each session is a tribute to the incredible journey of motherhood – the triumphs, the challenges, the slight smiles, and the fierce love. There is a unique magic in the bond between a mother and her child. It’s an ever-evolving dance of connection, care, and unending devotion. My aim is to capture this magic in its purest form, creating images that speak to the heart and soul of what it means to be a mother.
Weddings
& Elopements
For weddings big, small, and everything in between, I would be absolutely honoured to be part of your special day.
Working across Gloucestershire and beyond capturing Weddings, Micro-Weddings and Elopements, I specialise in creating images that are joyful, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful. A wedding is made up of a series of magical moments you won’t want to forget: a heartfelt embrace as you get ready, words of wisdom to steady nerves, a face full of emotion at the end of the aisle, candid smiles between friends, the big confetti shot, and intimate moments shared just between the two of you. These are the moments that make up your unique love story, and I'm here to capture every single one. As a storyteller for all romances, I am a safe space and an ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do. No matter who you are, I’m here to showcase the beauty of your love.
hey you!

“She was fantastic with my daughter, who was tired, as it was a sunset shoot in Summer, distracting and encouraging her”
“We booked Laura for a mother and daughter personalised shoot, bringing crystals and angel cards we both enjoy. Laura had such a vision!! I was a little nervous and she really made me feel so at ease and beautiful about myself. She was fantastic with my daughter, who was tired, as it was a sunset shoot in Summer, distracting and encouraging her. Such a relaxed environment and natural images, they are stunning! I didnt even realise she was taking photos at some points. I cant thank Laura enough for these beautiful pictures and memories. Now go and book this incredibly passionate woman! You will not regret it.”
