I believe we all secretly yearn to see within our own reflection the essence and beauty of who we are,

the radiance of our being

I think as women we forget the importance of honouring and celebrating our milestones in life. We have totally lost our connection to the old ways where women were revered, and ceremonies were held to acknowledge our milestones moving from maiden to mother to wise woman. The opportunity to have Laurie Anne support and witness a snapshot of my journey transitioning into the role of wise woman was profound. The depth of my gratitude for this amazing woman knows no bounds. I have to confess I was very nervous at the beginning, as I truly don’t like my photo being taken, however Laurie held my hand and made the whole experience very joyful and powerful. Every woman should go through this process, not only to clear the blocks that can stop us from reaching for the stars, but to step into our power with joy, mischief and self-awareness.

I have known Laurie Anne forever and then some! I have observed her passion and her artistry bloom. She is one of the most creative people I know. No matter what she does, healing, reading, pottery and much more. Her creativity does not stop at the art she creates it seeps through her eyes, her heart and the words that she speaks. All are a relocation of the love she has for ALL. I have had the gift to experience her photographic process. She creates such a safe and comfortable environment; she brings your heart and soul to the surface and captures it in a photo. She is a brilliant artist and awesome friend. Whoever has the opportunity to be in her presence, they will never be the same after the experience. Her presence changes you. She is a priceless gem and you can’t help but love her as she envelopes you with her pure vibration. If you want a photographic experience you have never had ask her to photograph you, or if you want a precious gift and presence in your life, purchase her photography. It is guaranteed to speak to you every time you look at it. I could not find more than 5 stars. So, Laurie, know you are much more than 5 stars, you are off the charts. Love you!

Beckie Kingfrom Sarina, Queensland, Australia
This beautiful woman is truly amazing. She puts her heart and soul into every shot and the results are nothing short of magic! She puts so much time and effort into you and brings out your spirit and essence and that’s what she captures. My journey with Laurie Anne has been a wonderful experience and I am so proud of what we have achieved together.

Laurie Anne took the time to make sure I was comfortable during my engagement photo shoot session. She helped me become grounded and present within the moment. It truly created wonderful pictures that captured the playful spirit between my fiancé and I. I can’t wait until she captures memories of my wedding!
Caitlin Riddellfrom Holland Landing, Ontario, Canada
After working with various photographers I still found getting my photo taken awkward and intimidating. I was too afraid to, possibly, make a fool of myself that I stayed reserved. Working with Laurie Anne completely changed my outlook on how I felt about modelling. With extreme professionalism she made me feel more comfortable than ever. Laurie Anne provided me with many tricks of the trade to get that perfect image, with the guidance of her incredible insight and attention to detail. I couldn’t be more pleased with the images Laurie Anne produced and cannot wait to work with her again.
Georgia Fordycefrom Mackay, Queensland, Australia
Brilliant. Makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera!
Bec Bannanfrom Sarina, Queensland, Australia
I find having my photo taken to be a difficult, painful experience. I feel awkward and uncomfortable. Sweaty palms, grimacing instead of smiling. Is that you too? The first time Laurie Anne photographed me, I turned up expecting the same kind of experience. I am delighted to say that my expectations were completely wrong. I have never felt more comfortable, uninhibited and completely relaxed in my own skin. It became an experience that I did not want to end. I laughed, I cried, we shared our stories and our passions. We created a connection, a friendship. It was a journey of self-discovery, guided by a gentle hand, to appreciate the beauty that lives within all of us. It was so much more than just getting my photo taken. I could not recommend the photography service Laurie Anne provides any more highly. A perfectionist with an eye for detail committed to providing you the very best experience possible

Laurie Anne took the time to make sure I was comfortable during my engagement photo shoot session. She helped me become grounded and present within the moment. It truly created wonderful pictures that captured the playful spirit between my fiancé and I. I can’t wait until she captures memories of my wedding! Dear Laurie Anne I just want to thank you for our wonderful session today. The concept of the Soulful Portraiture is amazing, the photo shoot after the reading is so much fun, I felt it really gave me some grounding being out in nature and all the laughing was like the final piece of therapy that I needed to fully release the emotions that came up in my reading – I couldn’t believe how I felt so much lighter when I left you. In the reading you gave me so much direction and what I love MOST is the way you made me look at myself in an honest but gentle way which has now given me the tools and confidence to motivate positive change in my life and relationships. Thank you so much for today – I truly feel blessed
Nichole from Sarina,Queensland, Australia
