My Confession for 2024

I have a confession to make. Something I’ve kept hidden since my twenties (and I’m about 20 years out from my twenties these days). And, yes, I know we all do questionable things in college. But me, well, I made a study of it.

Are you ready for my deep, dark secret?

Here it comes…

I went

TO THEATRE SCHOOL

That’s right, I was a 100% bonafide drama nerd for most of my early years. I even worked at a Renaissance Festival. That’s how much of a nerd. Like a really, really big one.

Did you see the Theatre Camp movie that’s streaming on Disney+ – I did. And I felt SO SEEN.

I worked as an actor, a stage manager, did set and lighting design – I loved all of it.

But here’s the thing – we’re all nerds about something.

We’re all passionate about something that others might find silly or weird. And instead of hiding it, we need to embrace it.

So, what does this have to do with your pets? When you book a session, I promise to sprinkle a little stardust on your furry friend. I’m thrilled to combine my passion for photography with my background in theatre to make your four-legged friend the star of the show.

The Artistry Behind the Lens

At Laura Wombwell Photography, I believe that each pet has a unique personality waiting to be revealed. With a keen eye for detail and a touch of theatrical flair, my goal is to capture the essence of your beloved furry companion in every photograph. From zoomies to cuddles, my lens captures it all – because every pet deserves their moment in the spotlight.

Picture this: your pooch as the headliner in their very own show! We’re not just snapping pictures; we’re orchestrating a canine spectacle.

Theatre-licious Touches

It’s not just about the camera; it’s about the performance. Drawing from my background in theatre, I approach pet photography as a storytelling experience. Every photo session is a stage, and your pet is the lead actor. I understand the importance of lighting, composition, and expression – elements that can transform a simple photograph into a captivating scene. Imagine your pet as the star of a Shakespearean play, the hero of a whimsical fairytale – or even the ingenue in a blockbuster dinosaur movie!

Whether your pet is a seasoned performer or a bit camera-shy, my sessions are tailor-made to capture their unique quirks. We’re here to freeze those ‘aha!’ moments, those goofy grins, and those soulful stares – all while ensuring your pet has a blast “on set”!

Making Your Pet a Star

The final act is the grand reveal – your pet stepping into the spotlight as the star they were born to be. Your carefully curated photographs are not just images; they’re a testament to the love, joy, and unique personality your pet brings into your life.

So that’s my confession – I want to bring my theatre-nerdiness to your pet photoshoot to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for your and your furry best friend!

What’s your confession? What are you a nerd about?

How can I help you let it shine?

    Wow, I totally didn’t know this about you! Your perspective on pet photography is truly refreshing! Incorporating your background in theatre to view each session as a performance is such a creative approach. I mean, I knew you were creative, but now I know why!

    I’m a huge fan of bringing a bit of yourself into your work and love that you incorporate a bit of drama and theatre training into your work! And because pets have so little hang ups about themselves, it’s probably pretty easy to get them on board with the “extra” that comes with acting and production.
