Work with me

I’m not here to woo you.

I’m here to turn your “WTF am I doing?” into “holy sh*t, that’s me.”

Hey I'm Laura, but my fav person calls me Mama

Me?
I’m a photographer, a toddler wrangler, a cat whisperer, a motorcycle rider, and an Alani-fueled over-thinker who cares deeply about this shit... for you.
Because this isn’t just my job.
It’s your fucking comeback story.

And I’m just lucky enough to get a front row seat.

I create space for women to BE themselves... not the version crafted for social media, not the one shaped by guilt, comparison, or someone else's idea of “enough.”
Just you. The real you.
I’ve got an engineering degree (yep, I’m a nerd), a camera I treat like an extra limb, and a deep need to remind women that they are allowed to take up space and to actually BE themselves.
It’s about finally seeing yourself the way your people do, the way your daughter does, the way you deserve to.

So... Here’s what actually matters:
