Hey, my name is Laura Lacourt
I’m a freelance photographer primarily working in the fashion and jewelry industry, but I’ve always been drawn to capturing the beauty of motherhood.
What inspires me most is the connection with my models, the intimacy of those moments, the elegance of curves and lines, and the creativity that naturally flows from them. Pregnancy, to me, is both powerful and poetic, and I love translating that into images.
My approach blends modern aesthetics with strong femininity to create maternity photographs that stand apart, artistic, refined, and far from the clichés you often see. With clean lines, subtle lighting, and editorial influences, I aim to bring elegance and a contemporary edge to every image.
I’m also very sociable and easygoing, creating a relaxed and open-minded atmosphere where my models feel comfortable, confident, and truly themselves.
My priority during our photoshoot is to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. When you’re not worried about your appearance or clothes, I can capture the most beautiful moments.
I won't push you to do anything uncomfortable or unnatural, but will work with delicacy and sensitivity. However, if you're open to bold experiments, like a rooftop shoot or nude photography, I’d be thrilled to capture your unique moments.
My photography brings together the elegance of fashion and the intimacy of motherhood. With a background in portraits, beauty, and jewelry, I approach maternity not only as a tender journey but also as a powerful expression of identity and style.
My maternity work celebrates women in all their strength, vulnerability, and beauty. Through bold yet delicate tones and carefully balanced compositions, I aim to capture this transformative chapter with authenticity but also a modern aesthetic.
