In home photography is an art form. The privilege of being invited into someones home, their sacred space is never lost on me. So much of our lives happen within the walls of our home, it is where we are most intimate and relaxed with our family. It's our most precious acquisition, it's where babies are birthed or brought home, It's where teeth are lost and birthday candles are blown out, it's where beds and meals are shared, its where notches of children growing are marked up on door frames. Above all its safety, its sanctuary, its family - its love.
This workshop is for those of you that may feel a little lost on your creative journey or for those of you that want to take in home sessions to the next level.
Through finding connection to your own unique voice I will help you to channel your own story into your art and perspective. Weaving yourself into the fabric of your sessions to create a body of work you and your clients will be inspired by.

if you don't already know me...
i'm laura
A mama and an artist.
I live in Scarborough with my gorgeous teen(angel) where we have moved around a lot of times before I finally bought us our own home in 2021.
Having moved around a lot as a kid and not feeling truly settled until way into adulthood has given me an appreciation for home that I never truly knew could exist until I had the freedom to live and do whatever I wanted in my own space.
I love rituals of home. They can be so so simple like making a pot of tea in the morning to lighting the home with yellow lamp globes. I have also discovered things about myself like how much I enjoy gardening, something I never knew until I had my own space.
This has what has inevitably led me to lean into my appreciation and love of home and families within their homes. It's just so special. That is why I want to pass along all that I know and love about in home sessions so all of the clients that see themselves in YOUR art will be able to have art that truly shows the love that lives within their walls - to hang on their walls!
This workshop is a culmination of all that I have learnt over my many years of photographing and teaching.
Over the past decade I have seen / done it all. I have gone forward, backwards and even sideways but when having to face my own truth - the path has always led me back to me.
And only when creating from that magical place I connect to within me can I create meaningful, truthful art that resonates with the wonderful people that I get to work with.
I have taught individuals over the past 5 years here in Perth, Tasmania and online and in teaching I have learnt so much about how the creative mind works.
From posing to light, connecting to your voice and creating work you love and are aligned with. This workshop sees you, it hears you - it was created by a person that has been you at some step along the journey.
full disclosure - this workshop will be an emotional rollercoaster, a spiritual awakening and the start of something truly magical.
there will be tears!
I want you to think about you for a moment?
I want you to think about where you are at on your photography journey…
Are you just starting out or have you had your business for a while?
Are you wanting to try something new or are you feeling like you're stuck doing the same old thing?
Are you leaving sessions feeling like it was out of control?
Are you struggling to communicate with your clients during sessions?
Are you feeling anxiety and fear prior to in home sessions?
Are you dreading delivering galleries that take hours to edit as you didn't get the lighting and connection right and you aren't feeling proud of your own work?
Do you feel like you just aren't nailing it and your photos are missing that wow factor?
I want you to know that I have been all of the above at one point in my life - and it was soul destroying!!
But after years and years of photographing clients in their homes I now lead sessions with confidence, guidance, joy and a little of my secret sauce too! All of which will be shared at the workshop.
I am passionate about creating photos for my clients that make a difference, that make my clients realise their beauty and how important their position is within their family. I want to gift my clients with images of their family - AS ART!
Mum to feel confident and relaxed and everyone to want to be there.
Everyone to feel my energy and reflect it back in the photos.
Kids to float between being excited and tender.
Moments of individuality but lots of cuddles and love too.
Have the family appear to be as in love and connected as they would be on one of their best days!
Take some time to play with my creativity.
this is my goal for every family session
We all know that when we show up at a session it isn't always going to be sunshine and roses - kids might be refusing to wear their cute outfit, mum and dad may have had a fight… so it's so important to be the balance, the strength and have it all under control.
but how do i achieve this every time?
It's time to let you in on a
little secret of mine.
THE DOCUMENTARY FEEL AND OUTCOME YOU SEE IN MY IMAGES IS NOT ENTIRELY A DOCUMENTARY APPROACH AT ALL. MY SESSIONS ARE STRATEGIC, METHODICAL, DIRECTED AND CALCULATED IN A PERFECTLY BALANCED WAY. I AM COMMUNICATIVE AND HANDS ON AND ALL OF THOSE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER CULMINATE TO ACHIEVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, ARTFUL & DOCUMENTARY FEELING PHOTOS EVER!
