MATERNITY & MOTHERHOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
CREATING UNFORGETTABLE
MOMENTS BENEATH THE SURFACE
With two decades of commercial experience behind the lens and my own journey into motherhood, I bring a deeply considered perspective to underwater photography.
My approach balances professional expertise with intuitive guidance, capturing the organic interplay of fabric, water, and light beneath the surface. Every element is tailored to ensure you feel entirely safe, supported, and confident, allowing you to fully surrender to the weightless tranquility of the water, whether you are a seasoned swimmer or stepping in for the first time.
Together, let us capture the quiet strength, grace, and fleeting beauty of your motherhood story in a way that remains timeless.
Into
the collective
A shared group sesion designed to bring two to three mothers together in the serenity of the water. By booking back-to-back, we are able to split the pool costs, making underwater art an accessible luxury without compromising on the experience.
Your investment includes a fully dedicated, high-impact one-hour session. Because our timelines overlap, you’ll have the chance to chat, connect, and ease into the environment together. We will begin your time with a few quick portraits out of the pool, before transitioning into the water. Watching fellow mothers and sharing the space allows you to grow completely comfortable, relaxed, and confident when it’s your turn to step in.
Please note: These shared experiences are hosted only a few times a year. Openings are highly limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Meet laura
Hello, I’m Laura – welcome to my world of underwater maternity and portrait photography.
With almost 20 years of experience behind the lens, I’ve photographed everything from fashion and products to campaigns for large brands, small businesses, and incredible individuals.
I’ve always been captivated by the way light interacts with water - the dreamy reflections, the softness, the sense of calm. Underwater photography offers a unique canvas where artistry and emotion blend, turning each session into something truly magical.
A new chapter of my life began when I had my daughter. It deepened my passion for capturing the fleeting beauty of pregnancy in a way that feels both powerful and gentle, timeless in every sense.
As both a mother and an experienced photographer, I understand how important it is to feel safe, supported, and truly seen during this special time. My goal is to create a space for you to connect, slow down, and celebrate your body with intention and beauty.
When I photograph expectant mothers, I’m not simply taking pictures, I’m capturing strength, serenity, and a moment in time that deserves to be remembered. There’s a quiet beauty beneath the surface, and I feel honoured to share that intimate space with you.
Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. Whether you’re confident in the water or trying it for the first time, I’ll guide you every step of the way. Every detail, from posing to breathwork is designed to make you feel at ease.
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fourth, I’d love to help you create artful, meaningful memories you’ll cherish forever.
Let’s dive into this journey together.

As someone who’s not super confident in front of the camera, I was surprised by how relaxed and beautiful Laura made me feel. The experience was calm, supportive, and surprisingly fun and the photos are just stunning.
