Shoalhaven family, maternity and newborn photographer

Hi, I'm Laani

Your family, maternity and newborn photographer

It's the little details that happen amongst the chaos.

The way your kid looks at you like you’re their whole world, the way their hair curls or the way your partner sneaks a glance at you when you’re not paying attention. 

I thrive on making people feel wonderful and taking photos that make your heart swell as you look back at them when you’re old and grey.

If you want family photos that feel like the real you, where you look fucking beautiful and to pause this moment in time, I’m the photographer for you. 

More about me

Sessions that make you think "fuck that was a good time". Don't stress if your toddler wants to wear their batman cape or your daughter insists on a tutu. I want this to be a time capsule of your life as it truly is.

Intimate sessions that capture the details that you never want to forget. No need to worry the mess, we will find the little pockets of light that will show the magic, even if your toddler is climbing over the baby or theres a mountain of washing in the corner.

for the fresh souls

Maternity sessions that celebrate the magic that is creating life. Even if you waddle there, you deserve to feel amazing. I want you to look back on these images and know how much of a fucking goddess you are and all you did to bring your baby here.
