Hi! I'm Laura
Your friendly, down-to-earth photographer with a love for the outdoors.
I am a warm, open-hearted, and sensitive soul who sees beauty everywhere—in nature, in life, and in love.
I like to squeeze every drop out of every season of life. In my twenties that was moving to new cities and staying out to the wee hours of the morning. In my thirties that's getting a good night's rest and slowing down to enjoy life's simplicities, like my morning tea in the sun.
My partner and I live in Campbell River and are so excited to set roots here on Vancouver Island. How blessed are we to live amongst mossy forests, vast oceans, lakes, mesmerizing mountains and all the creatures in between. In our spare time you'll catch us hiking, backpacking, camping, swimming, surfing, golfing, snowboarding, dipping our toes in any activity that gets us outside.
Nature inspires so much of the way I see and create. Working with amazing clients who turn into friends and getting to explore some of BC's most beautiful landscapes together truly feels like a dream come true. There's no other way I'd rather be spending my days.
I can't wait to see what we will create together!
Let's chat :)
xx Laura

Describe your perfect day
Slow morning wake up with just me and my partner. Breakfast, hit the beach to swim/surf, back home to have an outdoor shower and clean up for dinner. Enjoy a quiet, intimate dinner at a local restaurant with fresh, authentic cuisine and a good glass of red. In bed by 10pm.
