Whether you require product shots, lifestyle imagery, property photography, or food and drink visuals, Lara’s experience and versatility make her the ideal choice. She works both in her well-equipped home studio or on location, adapting to the unique requirements of each project.
Product Photography: From sleek studio setups to creatively styled product shoots, Lara ensures your products are showcased in the best possible light, enhancing their appeal to potential buyers.
Lifestyle Photography: Lara captures authentic moments that reflect the true essence of your brand. Her relaxed yet professional approach makes it easy to work with people, ensuring natural and engaging lifestyle images.
Property Photography: Whether it’s a luxury property or a commercial space, Lara’s eye for detail ensures that every shot highlights the unique features and charm of the property, making it stand out in the real estate market.
Food & Drink Photography: Lara is known for her love of natural light, which she expertly uses to bring out the vibrant colors and textures in food and drink photography. Her images make dishes look as delicious as they taste, perfect for menus, cookbooks, and promotional materials.
Natural Light Expertise
Lara’s signature style revolves around her love for natural light, which she prefers for its ability to create life like and vibrant images, especially in food photography. Working with natural light allows Lara to move quickly and efficiently, particularly on location, as it eliminates the need for complex lighting setups. Her low-light lenses further enhance her flexibility, enabling her to capture stunning images even in challenging lighting conditions.
However, when natural light isn’t available, Lara’s technical expertise comes into play. She is fully equipped with professional lighting kits that can replicate the warm glow of a sunny afternoon or create a cozy ambiance for a winter-themed shoot, no matter the season.
Creative and Detail-Oriented Approach
Lara is more than just a photographer, she is a creative partner who is deeply invested in your brand’s success. Each photoshoot is meticulously planned in advance, ensuring that everything is ready to go from the moment the camera starts rolling. Whether it’s a documentary-style shoot for a PR event or a styled product shoot, Lara’s attention to detail and commitment to quality, guarantees the best possible outcome.

Studio & On-Location Shoots: Whether you need the controlled environment of a studio or the dynamic setting of an on-location shoot, Lara has the equipment and expertise to deliver.
Remote Photography Service: Can’t make it to the shoot? No problem. You can collaborate with Lara remotely, agreeing on the styling and photography style beforehand. Simply send your samples through the post, and Lara will take care of the rest, delivering professional results without the need for you to be on-site.
Flexible Rates & Packages: Lara offers 2-hour, half-day, and full-day rates, making it easy to choose the option that best suits your project. All images are professionally edited, colour-corrected, and retouched to perfection.
Lara goes above and beyond the role of photographer and I am always so excited to receive her emails to see the final shots!
When starting a new project, she takes time and care to understand the brand and ethos behind it, she researched the industry to create fresh energetic images with a new perspective on products.

She has the ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and also be invisible when you're trying to get those more candid shots too. Highly recommended!
