Underwater MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
CREATING UNFORGETTABLE
MOMENTS BENEATH THE SURFACE
With over 15 years of experience behind the lens and my own recent journey into motherhood, I bring a deep understanding and a unique perspective to underwater photography in New Zealand.
Blending passion with expertise, I capture the organic flow of fabric, water, and light beneath the surface, revealing the true beauty of each expectant mother. Every session is tailored to ensure you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the water, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned swimmer.
Let’s create timeless moments that reflect the strength, beauty, and joy of motherhood in its purest form—moments you’ll cherish forever.

Meet laura
Hello, I’m Laura – welcome to my world of underwater maternity and portrait photography.
With over 15 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.

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

Being underwater felt so peaceful and weightless—it was the perfect way to connect with my baby. The photos are like something out of a dream. Laura is incredibly talented.

Laura has an incredible eye for detail and light. She turned a simple underwater moment into a stunning work of art. I came away with incredible memories, and I can't recommend this enough.
