Hi, I’m Laura! Wellington’s favourite newborn and family photographer.

I’ve been a photographer since 2008 and have 3 children of my own. Over the years, I have photographed an array of subjects, but have found my passion in newborn photography.

Based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, I have a custom-built studio where I photograph newborns and families.
