Capturing Life’s Most Precious Moments in
St Ives, Cambridgeshire
Hello, I’m Laura – the person behind Dinky Little Dot Photography.
I believe the best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.
Whether I’m gently guiding a newborn into a beautiful, sleepy pose or getting down on the floor to see the world through a toddler’s eyes, I love finding ways to bring out the very best in every little personality.
I’ve been affectionately called a baby whisperer, and parents often tell me how much they appreciate my patience, especially with their little ones. I understand that every baby and child is different, and I never expect two sessions to be the same.
My approach is relaxed, personal and led by the people in front of my camera. There’s time for cuddles, little breaks, giggles and all the wonderfully unexpected moments that make your family yours.
Most importantly, I want you to walk away with more than photographs you love. I want you to have beautiful artwork for your home and a collection of memories that will become even more precious as the years go by.
Because these little moments don’t stay little forever. And I feel incredibly lucky to help families preserve them.
