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
Feel first. Then photograph.
I don’t believe in making you fit a mould — I believe in letting the light in, meeting you where you are, and creating images that feel like home.
My Approach Is Simple
Every session is different, because every story is. I’ll guide with intention, but never force the moment. The real magic comes from your connection — the way you laugh together, hold each other, and just are. What matters most is how it felt, and that’s what we’ll hold onto.
What I Offer
Celebrate your strength, softness, and the quiet anticipation of what’s to come
Slow, gentle sessions that honour your baby’s rhythm — and the way you already know them by heart.
For muddy knees, wild cuddles, and love in every form. Any age, any season — let’s capture it beautifully.
For the big moments and all the quiet ones in between — your love, captured honestly, artfully, and with hear
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!
GLOUCESTER & BEYOND
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 LGBTQIA+ 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.
“I’ll put you at ease in front of the camera to ensure you have the most magical and positive experience possible.”
Why My Clients Choose Me
Because they want to feel held, not styled into something they’re not.
Because they know these days are slipping by — and they want to remember them properly.
Because they want gentle direction, not stiff posing.
Because they want photos that feel like them — raw, soft, full of soul.
Because they want something more than just “nice pictures.”
emotive, authentic & Storytelling photography In Gloucestershire.
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.

Kind Words
“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.”
