Laura Gerryts Photography

Hey, I’m Laura

I’m a newborn and birth photographer serving the Niagara region in Ontario, offering a calm, intentional approach and imagery captured in a timeless, neutral palette.

I specialize in documenting life’s earliest moments—maternity, birth, newborn (both lifestyle and in my home studio), cake smashes, and all the beautiful in-betweens that make up your growing story.

As a mother of two, I understand how fleeting these moments are. I didn’t have many of these images from my own early motherhood, and if I could go back, it’s the one thing I would change. That experience shapes how I photograph today—with intention, sensitivity, and a deep appreciation for the moments that might otherwise slip by unnoticed.

I don’t believe in overly posed images. I want your photos to feel real. If your baby wants to change things up, we let it happen. We want to let their developing personalities shine. These are the little things you’ll notice when you look back at these moments.

I’m also a homebirth mom myself, and I hold a deep respect for physiological birth and the power of informed choice. While I lovingly document both home and hospital births, my heart is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for every family—wherever and however their story begins.
