Your Portrait Investment

A Bespoke Portrait Experience

Imagine freezing this chapter of your life—the tiny hand reaching for yours, the quiet confidence in a new professional headshot, or the faithful, comfortable gaze of a beloved pet.

Your time with Laura isn't just about photos; it's a seamless, stress-free experience that results in a treasured, lasting legacy. Our pricing structure ensures that your investment covers the care, expertise, and time dedicated to crafting heirloom quality art for everyone you love. Our structure is transparent and simple: a Session Fee to secure your time, and a separate Image Investment for the beautiful art you choose to keep.

Step 1: The Session Commitment

The Session Fee is $250, paid upfront to secure your date, cover pre-session consultation, talent, and professional editing.

The $250 Session Fee acts as a credit towards your final artwork. This credit is designed to be used when you select one of our premium Digital or Wall Art Collections (Four Image Pack or higher). Please note that any unused credit is forfeited and not refundable or transferrable.

Immediately following your relaxed session, you will sit back in our comfortable Christchurch professional home studio for your personalised Viewing and Ordering Appointment. You will select your favourite images immediately. You only invest in the art you wish to keep, and your chosen digital images will be professionally prepared and sent straight to your inbox!

We offer a range of Wall Art and Digital Collections as follows:

It's an Experience

The session itself is an amazing and memorable experience. We focus on creating ease, warmth, and fun, ensuring that the process of capturing your portraits is just as treasured as the finished artwork!
