Hi, I’m Laura

Photographer, Digital Artist and Snuggler of All Pets

I am passionate about pets, and I can’t wait to make your wildest artwork dreams a reality.

Here are some things I like:

RESCUE DOGS

I’m passionate about animal rescue – both of my own dogs are rescues, and if you’re a rescue that needs images – let me know!

CRAFT BEERS AND TOO MUCH CHEESE

When I’m not photographing or editing, I’m searching for delicious craft beers, eating too much cheese (on literally everything).

ROLLER DERBY

I’ve been involved in derby for years as a skater, a captain, a coach, and I’m actively involved in coaching young skaters.

MY WHY

This girl has always been the reason I picked up a camera. Stella, my soul dog. A Puppy Mill Mama for the first six desolate years of her life. When rescued, she was broken, under-weight and so very scared. Making Stella’s golden years a million times better than her start was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.

There are so many other dogs out there just like Stella, and that’s why I volunteer my time for rescues (especially those that work with puppy mill dogs), and donate a portion of my session fees to animal-related rescues.

She’s also the reason that my palliative and elderly pet session fees are waived – everyone deserves to have beautiful images of the pets that have captured their heart.

GIVING BACK

I am deeply committed to being a voice for the vulnerable, routinely partnering with and providing sponsorship to a variety of local rescues and pet-welfare organizations. 

I aim to inspire others to see the incredible impact that adopting a rescue pet and supporting pet welfare can have on your life.

Organizations I support include:

If I could give higher than 5 stars I would.  Laura is an incredible talent and we had such an amnazing time with her.  She was truly able to capture the spirit of our dog through the lens of her camera.

Laura was amazing! We did a shoot with our golden retriever – part in her studio and part in the Arboretum in Guelph. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. Laura helped us pick out the right type of prints for us, and also had a great process for helping us narrow down our options (trust me, it’s hard to only pick a few of the photos!). Thank you Laura – we definitely recommend her!

She was great at working with our pup who is high energy and somewhat anxious. Laura was able to accommodate based on our dog’s mood and get great shots. She’s very patient and will work with you and your pet to ensure that everyone is comfortable and doesn’t rush through anything.

The process of booking a shoot and the post-shoot review was also pretty smooth and easy to understand. Laura was flexible with the packages and was able to work with us to tailor one that worked best for us.

    If you’re looking for a phenomenal photographer who takes absolutely beautiful professional photos of your pet then Laura is the one. I chose Laura for my dogs end of life photos so I could have a beautiful piece of art to look at and remember my dog by. Laura and her assistant were both so great with myself, my dog and my mom who also joined for a few of the photos and they really made us feel so comfortable. I’m definitely going to be a repeat client. I’m truly happy with the work Laura has done and I’m lucky to have chosen her to capture my dogs personality. Thank you so much Laura!

    Laura is amazing – extremely talented, kind, and professional. We purchased a session for my parents and their dog, but sadly he passed before they could take advantage of Laura’s services. We ended up doing the photoshoot with our own dog (who is quite anxious of strangers) and both Laura and her assistant were amazing with our girl! Laura even provided a digital art piece of my parent’s pup as a memorial, which was beautiful and so special to us. She was always very quick to respond to questions and we are OBSESSED with how well our new family photos turned out. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future! Highly recommend for your next pet photographer.

    Laura was fantastic to work with. We had family photos done of my husband and I and our three dogs and she and her assistant were able to wrangle everyone and get some amazing shots! One of my dogs is sick with cancer and the other two are seniors so this was a very special photoshoot that we will treasure forever. The photos turned out great and I love the prints and photobook we had made. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for amazing photos! Laura is also very skilled at editing the photos. One of my dogs had a large part of her body shaved from surgery and Laura was able to fill in the missing fur to make it look like nothing ever happened.
