I’m so glad you’re here. This space is where my love for storytelling and photography come together. I love capturing moments, people, and places in a way that’s authentic, raw, and real. Take a look around, and feel free to reach out. I can’t wait to share my journey with you !
Welcome
I’m a portrait, fashion, wedding, and branding photographer based between Canada and Japan. I’m drawn to natural light, candid energy, and storytelling that feels both intimate and intentional. Whether I’m working with individuals or creative teams, my aim is to capture the soul of a moment and the essence of a brand with simplicity, authenticity, and heart. Inspired by the people I meet and the places I explore, I strive to uncover the magic in every story.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me in the mountains or on my bike, dreaming up the next trip, exploring new trails, mapping out future adventures, or sipping coffee with a notebook full of wild ideas.

"I got to work with Laurie when she visited Toronto, and she's an absolute gem as a photographer. Seriously, she's got this natural knack for communication and creativity that just blows you away. What's truly remarkable is how she brings out the hidden beauty and features that you might have never even noticed in yourself. It's like she has this magical ability to uncover the very best version of you and capture it in a way that leaves you in awe, and the results are stunning. I couldn't recommend her more highly for anyone seeking to unveil their most genuine self through photography."

"Laurie's photography is seriously amazing. Not only does she have this incredible knack for capturing raw emotions and delicate beauty, but she's also the friendliest and most enthusiastic photographer ever. She's all about telling stories through her photos, whether she's nailing those intimate portraits or totally killing it with street photography vibes. You can totally feel Laurie's passion and dedication in every single shot, it's like she puts a piece of her soul into each one. Her work is a mega display of her artistic skills. If you're into jaw-dropping photos and want to hang out with a super cool photographer, Laurie's your girl."

"We met Laurie at Emerald Lake for engagement photos, and we are SO glad we did! She took absolutely beautiful photos for us and we had the best time with her. As two people who are definitely not in front of a camera often. Laurie made us feel totally comfortable and she had all the right tips and ideas for different shots and poses. She is warm, friendly, and we loved her energy immediately upon meeting her! She is really a ray of sunshine to be around, and of course an amazing photographer. Her excitement after we’d pose and she’d review the photos really made us feel like we were superstars! We had our photos with Laurie actually the night before we got married, and we’d highly recommend her if you’re in the Banff area!!."

"I have been dreaming of capturing some cycling photos but I haven't been able to find the photographer to do so. Until I found Laurie. We both had a vision and we captured everything we imagined plus more! It was such an amazing experience and I wouldn't recommend anyone different for your photography needs. I am confident there is nothing she can't capture!"
