it's all art. the way you laugh. your smile. your wardrobe. & the way you decorate your home. the way you dance. your energy. your collection of books. & the way you write. your playlists. your grocery lists. your friendships. it's all art. your whole life is art.

I have always been PASSIONATE, CREATIVE AND SOULFUL. ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE. 

MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER HAS BEEN AN EVOLUTION OVER THE PAST DECADE AND I HAVE COME TO ADORE DOCUMENTING FAMILIES IN A TRUTHFUL, ARTISTIC WAY. A PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN FUN AND TENDERNESS, DOCUMENTARY AND GUIDED, LIGHT AND SHADOW. THE BALANCING ACT - THE DANCE BETWEEN ALL ELEMENTS THAT EQUATES TO COLLATING MEMORIES IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND STORIED WAY. 



I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER AND BARE FOOT MAMA TO MY BEAUTIFUL TEEN DAUGHTER LUCILLE AND CRAZY STAFFY SAILOR. We call scarborough home.

if you would like me to see your family through my eyes and through my lens would so love to meet you and do that. we can find beautiful light and share childhood stories and laugh together too. i will become best friends with your kids and accidentally laugh at you and them at inappropriate moments. we can make magic and spend time actually living for a while. oh and in case you were wondering the name lalu is derived from mine and lucy's names (la laura. lu lucille)

I HAD A NOMADIC CHILDHOOD, MOVING TO A NEW PLACE EVERY YEAR OR SO. I BELIEVE THIS GAVE ME AN INNATE ABILITY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND IMMEDIATELY CONNECT WITH THEM. I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE AND AM FOREVER FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE PEOPLE I MEET. I FIND CONNECTION TO BE FASCINATING AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET REAL DEEP, REAL QUICK.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY OWN CHILDHOOD AND MY FAMILY AND MY JOURNEY I SEE LAUGHTER AND LIGHT AND THE OUTDOORS, I SEE CARAVAN PARKS AND HOLIDAY FRIENDS AND CATCHING BABY CRABS ON THE BEACH. i see the family home and cuddling games on the couch and lots of quick wit. i see paddling pools and pets and there always seems to be a baby around. i see kindness and a deep sense of feeling grounded and humble. i see mum and dad sneaking a kiss in the living room as I stare on from the garden. I see light through leaves that i try to touch with my toes as i swing up high. all of these incredible glimpses of time long past are burnt into my memory and soul - this is what matters to me - THE SIMPLE, DELICIOUS MOMENTS.
