Laura May Photography

Capturing the everyday

Maternity, newborn and family photography

I'm Laura from Laura May Photography. I am many things, a photographer, an experienced neonatal/paediatric nurse, a dreamer and a mum.

I love nature/beach/sunsets/outdoors. I have a creative eye for capturing raw, playful and authentic connections.

I work indoors and outdoors around Melbourne (Naarm) and the Mornington Peninsula.

I specialise in motherhood, newborns, child and family, and branding/empowerment.

If you're after a playful and relaxed session, I've got you. You just need to be you!

More About Me

Why invest in a family photographer?

Memories forever - capture the heart

These days we sit with thousands of images on our devices and forget to have these images around us, filling our houses and hearts! Visual memories of our loved ones and little people are so precious. I am confident that the images will make you smile and be special for years to come. You don't need to wait for the 'perfect time', 'perfect wardrobe' etc, now is the time and now is perfect....We will work together to create some magic!

Kind Words

"Laura was the absolute best during our shoot! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was adaptable needing to change location last minute. Laura took her time throughout the shoot and incorporated my 3 year old and a German Shepherd (no small feat). I’m absolutely blown away by the end photos! We cannot recommend Laura enough!"

What is lifestyle photography?


..."Lifestyle photography includes any style of photography that shows people in their natural habitat, living their life. This style can include landscapes, portraiture, fashion and street photography".... (ADOBE, 2024)

"Why NOT be oneself?"

Edith Sitwell (British Poet and Critic)

I would like to respectfully acknowledge the Bunurong Peoples, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and waterways.

I would also like to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.
