Hi, I'm Laani

Photographer for people who feel awkward in front of the camera

The photographer for you, if you feel awkward AF in front of a camera

Yeah, I'm going to capture the way your kid looks at you like you’re their whole world, the way their hair curls and the way your partner sneaks a glance at you when you’re not paying attention, but while all this magic is happening, I will also tell you to lift your chin up, turn towards the best light and move on when things don't feel right. 

If you want photos that feel like you, where you look fucking beautiful and that will make you cry when your old, 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.
