Here’s my Story

Meet Your Gloucestershire Family & Motherhood Photographer

Hey i’m Laura

A Motherhood, Maternity & Family photographer based in the beating heart of the beautiful Cotswolds.

I’ve always had a creative side but my passion for photography really ignited after the birth of mine and my partner’s eldest child. I was hooked on ensuring every moment with her was beautifully documented and before long, friends were asking me to take photos of their little ones. I realised pretty quickly that capturing the joy in people’s lives through the gift of photography was the only thing I wanted to do.

My Story

“Some time, energy and a baby later, Wild Soul Photography has become all I could have dreamed of and more.”

I’m also a romantic and I’m here to tell you there is nothing wrong with romanticising your own life. In fact, I actively encourage it. My work evokes feelings of nostalgia and it’s hugely important to me that the powerful connections between those in front of my lens are captured, be that with your unborn baby in an empowering maternity shoot; your partner as you document your story together; your newborn as you lovingly drink them in; or even with yourself in a captivating branding shoot.

I appreciate the everyday and the simple. But I also find beauty in the chaos and unique. I know that just as every person is different, so is every shoot, and I’m here to help portray your individual story.

  • Bit of a chatterbox and proud oversharer (you’ll probably leave knowing half my life story).

  • I’m a mum — so I get the chaos, the cuddles, and the constant snack requests.

  • Always up for a laugh, even if we’re ankle-deep in mud or dancing in the rain.

  • I’ve been known to jump into lakes, rivers, or the sea to get the shot.

  • A classic Leo — big heart, big energy, and not afraid of a bit of drama (the good kind).

  • If I wasn’t a photographer, I’d probably be running some sort of messy, joy-filled, naturey retreat somewhere dreamy.

A few things about me

This is my Art

Photography is not just a job for me, it's art. I want us to create something meaningful together.

GLOUCESTER & BEYOND

I’m based in Gloucestershire and spend my days wandering through beautiful places like Cheltenham, Stroud, the Cotswolds, and the Forest of Dean, photographing families, mothers, and couples in love.


Whether your story unfolds close to home or a little further afield, I’m always up for an adventure if it means capturing something real.

If you feel a connection to my work, no matter where you’re based — I’d love to hear from you.
