A Little About Working With Me

I am a Toowoomba-based photographer with a background in tourism and marketing. I understand that photographs need to do different jobs, depending on who they are for and where they will be used.

I like to learn a little about what you are hoping to achieve before we begin. For a business, that might mean understanding your customers and marketing needs. For a family, it is simply making sure everyone feels comfortable and that we have time for the photographs that matter to you.

My approach is relaxed, with plenty of attention to composition, natural light and the smaller details that make a photograph work.

“Our experience with Laurene Bardsley was fantastic. She was quick to respond, professional and ensured that we had outstanding photos at the end of our session. Her commercial shoot with us was just great. Highly recommend!”

Marketing | Ray White Toowoomba

Laurene's work is beautiful. Never once did my family or I feel put in an awkward position and forced to smile. We felt comfortable, relaxed and genuinely enjoyed the experience. We got beautiful photos of us laughing together and naturally smiling. We have returned to Laurene twice now because her work is always lovely. Thank you Laurene for capturing our family moments.
