The Copper + Olive Approach
CAPTURING YOUR EVERYDAY ADVENTURES
Never before have I felt such a depth of emotions as I have since becoming a parent. Now a true sentimental soul. It unlocks a whole new being; a parent with a purpose, an altered state of emotions. The first time I had a real photo taken of Marnie and me, I cried. I could see it right there, the bond I’d longed for, the tiny person in the flesh, in my arms, a dream that became reality. It was like I could see both from the outside in, and my perspective of our little world. As a family and motherhood photographer, I want to give you images that conjure up these same feelings.
My shoots are very relaxed and my approach is to always go with the flow. I will use very gentle direction and “natural nudges’ to guide us to the beautiful light and get the best out of the shots. But a lot of my work is in the little moments, when you’re just in your own little world with your tiny team. I love to capture the magic in the everyday.
Beautiful bumps; playful couples; dog parents; cosy newborn days; glorious grandparents; the whole gang in their wellies! Whichever form your family takes, I love to capture the love.
Most of my shoots are outdoors in nature, going on a little adventure together. Exploring somewhere new or going to the same park you spend hours strolling around with the pram. You might have just the place in mind or would love me to suggest somewhere new to suit you. Or it could be home where you feel the happiest and most content; for me to capture the everyday play and the cuddles in your favourite spot on the sofa.
Wherever it is, I capture your family as they are - no backdrops and studio lights - just real life family adventures; giggles, tears and all.

Family Feedback.
“We were so glad to have chosen Laura and Copper and Olive photography for our newborn shoot. I was anxious about being able to get out and how we all would be feeling. Laura was very flexible and gave lots of different options to suit us (in home, at her studio or outdoors).
We had access to her gorgeous newborn outfits and dresses for mums. On the day she had coffee ready for me and my husband. She focused on capturing all the details we had asked for whilst we relaxed with our coffees. When our baby was not playing ball as well, Laura was very good at settling her and focusing on the natural shots.
We had a mixture of her studio and outdoor shoot which she managed very well with times and the location. When we received our gallery it was so beautiful and so hard to choose our favourites!
Laura was professional throughout, responsive and just a lovely person to have captured those early memories with our little one. Thank you so much! We would highly recommend Copper and Olive!”

Do you often just want to press pause and soak up a moment; keep it in your memory to cherish forever?
Family and motherhood photography is an investment. For you, for your memories, for your children. Teeny tiny time machines back to these good old days. More precious and valuable with each passing day.
We love to think we’ll remember all these little details that are so prevalent and important to us now, but time steals the clarity and freshness of those feelings. Photos can take you right back there in a moment; all those feelings flooding back.
