Hi, I'm Laani

storytelling photography mentor

The educator for you, if you feel like you're doing all the right things but not quite getting it 

I shoot moody. Cinematic. The kind of photos that feel like a story.

But these days, my biggest love is teaching other photographers how to actually stand out. Because I spent years feeling stuck, attracting the wrong clients and second guessing every post. Then I figured it out. Now I'm here to save you the years it took me.

If you want someone to help you figure it out and create galleries  that feel like an actual story, how to pose your clients so they actually feel comfortable and figure out how to find the right clients, I’m the mentor 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.

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.
