We covered all the spots I'd hope to capture - and you were so patient with my parents. We are really looking forward to seeing the first round of proofs. Wishing you a good week ahead and look forward to being in touch. Thank you again for being such a total star!
Thank you so much for the stunning edited versions of our photos! They are absolutely wonderful and you have done such a fantastic job to subtly introduce a little blue sky and sunshine in the backdrops that sets off the stonework and colours of the buildings so well. We are absolutely thrilled and can't thank you enough to have these precious pictures of this special occasion. I would definitely like to write a glowing review and I'll get to this in the coming weeks once a few pressing deadlines have passed. Thank you again and wishing you a lovely summer ahead!"

"Thank you so much for sending the photos so quickly. I was so fascinated that I didn't reply straight away, what a marvellous job. As well as being a memory for life, it's also very good for a person's confidence to see themselves in such a well-framed way. That's exactly what I wanted, a memory and an activity outside my comfort zone, and that's what I found, and I'm glad I found a professional like you. Thank you so much. Your help and comments throughout the session made it so much easier.I wish you every success,!"

— Anna, Magdalen College, Maternity shoot, April 2025
"One of the best moments that captured my emotions in Oxford. I have seen many professional photographers and most of them tell us what to do as they want to capture what’s in their mind. I had the pleasure of working with Laura- a lady with vision and passion; Mother of two; creative photographer with eyes that capture magical moments.
I did this relatively early morning (at least for me😂) after a late shift with less than 4 hours of sleep -exhausted and didn’t have the mind to do it 🙃
But she was such an awesome person, a wonderful friend one would say, made me so comfortable and let me be myself (with my messy hair & don’t care behaviour).
There wasn’t any pressure at all and she just took what she thought was ‘amazing’ 😍 (I know I’m cute 🥰 but seeing me through her lens made me extra special) It was one of my happiest days and I am extremely pleased that I have this collection which I can see when I am 70 years old 😅 It’s not an advertisement- but a true recommendation and an appreciation for a lady as I got what it’s worth for the money! She’s Laura Smith 🙂"
— Mini, Oxford University student, day-in-the-life, March 2025
"Laura is absolutely the best when it comes to professional photography at Oxford! We worked with Laura for my graduation photoshoot and she was wonderful to work with. Our party had young kids, myself and other older adults, Laura was very nice and accommodative of everyone across all age groups. She covered all the top spots around the university and was super energetic. We booked her services for one hour on the day prior to graduation and for one hour on the day of graduation. The photos were absolutely stunning and will be a lifetime memory for me and my family! If you are visiting Oxford as a tourist, studying at Oxford currently or graduating, I would highly recommend Laura. She knows how to create magic with her photos!"

I'm glad I did -- Laura is super friendly, very communicative, and puts you at ease throughout the process. She went above and beyond to make sure we captured all the locations I wanted (there was a giant blue truck in the way during our first shoot, so she met me briefly on a different day). The pictures turned out great! I highly recommend her services.."
