Two days before I was to first meet with Laura Harris, she spotted me at the coffee shop working away, looking a little messy in a pair of overalls. She leaned over and warmly introduced herself proclaiming how much she loved them. I knew immediately that Laura and I were cut from the same linen cloth.

From the first time we met, it was clear that we shared a common creative ground and with similar beginnings in graphic design and painting, it was significant for me to see first hand, how everything that I'm working towards in this life is attainable. Laura is living proof of this for me. I was honoured that she wanted to work with me and excited to bring everything about her beautiful life and paintings into a curated and clear narrative.

Working with Laura on both her personal brand and a new website for her paintings and workshops, we started the project with a styled shoot of her home and studio with photographer Gillian Stevens. Here are just a few of the beautiful images that were captured on the warm summer day in July.
