Hello! I'm Lara, a Melbourne based photographer with a love for real moments over rehearsed ones. My work spans weddings, events and personal branding, captured on both digital and 35mm film, each suited to a different kind of story.

I'm drawn to light, texture and the in-between moments most people don't think to capture. My aim is always the same, to create a calm, easy space in front of the camera, so what comes through in the images feels honest, not staged.

Based in Melbourne, shooting locally and available to travel with Australia.

Get in touch. Say hello!
