Hi, I’m Laura. A conservation photographer, writer, and editor drawn to wildlife, open spaces, wild places, and the stories that live inside them.
My connection to nature started early, growing up in Maine between the forest and the ocean and spending as much time outside as possible. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a deeper fascination with wildlife and the fragile balance between species, landscapes, and people.
Photography has been central to my life and creative work since 2017. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a broader commitment to conservation, human–wildlife coexistence, and visual storytelling rooted in both science and emotion.
Today, I’m based in Hawaiʻi, where my work focuses largely on island ecosystems through conservation research, field work, photography, and editorial storytelling. Living and working here has expanded the way I think about conservation — not only through wildlife, but through the interconnectedness of ecosystems, culture, invasive species, restoration, and place.
My work lives at the intersection of science, photography, and storytelling. At the heart of my work is a desire to help people feel more connected to the living world around them. I’m drawn to the quiet details, the atmosphere of a landscape, the tension between beauty and vulnerability, and the moments that make us stop and look closer.
I believe that images and stories do something science alone cannot. When we see the intricacies of a place, species, or relationship, we feel closer to it — and more responsible for it. Photography and storytelling create a bridge between data and emotion, between the field and the people who may never set foot there, and between what is happening in the natural world and what we are willing to do about it.
Through photography, writing, and visual media, I’m interested in collaborating on projects centered around conservation, wildlife research, ethical travel, coexistence, and the relationships between people and the environments they inhabit.
Whether documenting seabird colonies on remote coastlines or searching for signs of predators across fragmented habitats, I hope my work encourages curiosity, connection, and care for the natural world.
let’s connect.
Collaborating on editorial, conservation, research, and storytelling projects.
Let’s create stories that matter.
