Because life is worth capturing
Hey,
I'm Laurie, a Frenchie based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I'm a Canterbury Maternity, Couple, Family, Elopement & Wedding photographer. I speak English, French & Spanish.
Connection & emotion are the heart of my sessions.
I’m here to capture authentic moments in all its raw and natural beauty, to tell your story with a timeless approach.
I just want to photograph you as you are : beautiful in your sensitivity, your emotions, your vulnerability...
I love capturing moments of life, even the most unseen.
Under a stormy sky, at the golden hour, into the long grass or at your home.
Everywhere.
Photography is more than just an image. It's an invitation to feel, to relive emotions, and to truly be seen for who you are. Because every season of life deserves to be celebrated.

"Laurie photographed my maternity session, and it was such a beautiful experience from beginning to end. Her communication was wonderful throughout, making everything feel effortless and relaxed.
The images she created are pure magic. She has an incredible gift for capturing emotion, weaving love, connection, and storytelling into every photograph. They feel less like portraits and more like treasured memories frozen in time.
Laurie brought such a calm, gentle presence to the session, and my daughter absolutely adored her. She felt completely at ease, trusted her instantly, and had so much fun.
If you're looking for timeless, natural, heartfelt photography that tells your family's story, I couldn't recommend Laurie more highly."
"From the moment I first met Laurie she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She gently guided my baby and I throughout the session and was always checking to see if we were both comfortable. When I first opened the gallery I was blown away. The way she was able to capture our precious memories exceeded my expectations. I couldn't recommend her more and can't wait to have another session with her!"
"Laurie photographed our wedding in Little River NZ. We wanted a “documentary style” wedding because we’re not really into posed photos and wanted to have memories of the day, the people that were there and the fun that was had that was organic. She took the time to really get to know what we wanted, she got amazing shots of everyone who attended and the different parts of the day that really captured the moment and the outcome was simply amazing. We are so happy with the service that Laurie offered. She is so talented and we will treasure the photos she sent us forever. I could not recommend Laurie enough!"
It was an absolute treat to have this photography adventure with Laurie. She has such a genuine interest in people’s stories, which made the whole session feel relaxed, easy-going, and natural.
As the session went on, I became more and more comfortable and felt like I could truly be myself. There is something very special about the way Laurie captured the light, the beloved hills, and my laughter - even with a little camera shyness mixed in.
I absolutely love the results.
I would wholeheartedly recommend going through this experience with Laurie to anyone wanting photos that feel authentic, personal, and full of heart (and soul)."
"Laurie is an incredibly talented photographer. From start to finish, communication was on point. Laurie was incredibly accommodating to make sure we had the perfect evening for our family session. She has an absolute passion for her craft and created a true connection with our toddlers. A common question in our house now from our 4 year old is ‘when are we seeing Laurie again?’ Genuine fun and connection was captured in our photos. We are beyond thrilled with the result of our gallery and looking forward to our next session with Laurie!"
"Laurie is such a treasure.. our wedding photos are full of so much love, light, laughter, shining happiness and colour, they are the perfect memory of our perfect, loving day.
She is so professional, personable, Laurie was able to capture every true smile and honest moment. Words can’t describe how absolutely thrilled we are to have been lucky enough to find such a beautiful and talented lady to capture the best day of our lives xx"
"Laurie is an incredible photographer that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her. She is like a friend you’ve always known, very easygoing and fun to work with! She captures the moments so beautifully and turns even foggy misty weather in her advantage. Extremely flexible and adaptable to the circumstances, she is just the best at what she does! Can totally recommend!"
"I couldn’t ask for a more dreamy photoshoot! Laurie was the best! She made it too easy and comfortable for me. It went so smooth and yet she takes gorgeous pictures! No dull angles, just perfection! So obsessed with my photos. Thank you for being a part of my memorable moment in my life and for capturing it. Love it so so much!"
"Laurie is the best photographer I have found in New Zealand. She did an amazing job for our family photo shoot session in Christchurch while we were travelling in the South Island as we live in Wellington. I didn’t hesitate to contact her again to bring her to Wellington to do our newborn session for our second son. She is super talented, patient and lovely ! Super highly recommended!!! Thank you Laurie for such beautiful work and also for speaking Spanish with me you are definitely a star! Gracias!"
