Editorial Photography for Boutique Stays, Homes & Small Business

Inspired by Country Style living and the people who bring each story to life

Welcome

I’m Laurene, a photographer drawn to homes, gardens, gatherings and the slow everyday moments that hold meaning. My work is warm, natural, and full of presence with imagery that feels lived-in, not performed.

With more than ten years of experience in tourism and marketing, I understand how imagery shapes guest expectations, booking confidence and the connection people feel with a place or a brand.

I photograph families, creatives, homeowners and boutique accommodation providers who value beauty in the familiar and connection over perfection.
