About

Laura is a freelance award nominated sports and event photographer based in the North West of England, most notably in Liverpool although raised on the Wirral.

Laura has always been drawn to the buzz of live events and the raw emotion that comes with sport, those split-second moments that tell a bigger story, the human and real-life elements. That’s what Laura loves to capture and document.

Laura has a vast background in sport and media, an avid sports person herself (mostly football) and with a BA in Media Production and an MA in Sports Journalism (both from University of Lincoln), Laura has hands on experience across a range of mediums.

Since leaving University in 2020, Laura has worked across multiple sectors within various Marketing positions. A career that has enabled Laura to hone her creativity and customer service skills.

Whether it’s a local grassroots match, a major competition, or a one-off celebration, Laura brings energy, focus, and a genuine passion for documenting real moments as they happen. No stiff poses, just honest, vibrant images that reflect the atmosphere and emotion of the day.

While based in the North West, Laura is always happy to travel.

If you’ve got a story worth capturing, then do get in touch.

All money raised goes towards the organisation and creation of events, including exhibitions, pop up markets and more. These events are incredibly costly in both time & money, I'd love any and all support to make these events possible.
