HI, I’M LAURA
FOUNDER/CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I believe in messy hair, bold lipstick and puppy kisses. I can usually be found guzzling tea (Earl Grey of course), dancing around the studio, chasing after my two fur monsters, biking, baking and sipping rye and gingers with loved ones. And I always has a little creativity up my sleeve wherever I go.

Before creating Gooseberry Studios in 2013, I worked as a multi-brand Web Editor for Canadian Living, Style at Home and ELLE Canada. I also worked for many years as an Editorial Coordinator for various print magazines, building entire publications from scratch and managing the content as titles became available nationwide.

An avid artist at heart, I now build emotionally compelling brands of all shapes and sizes with my unique photography-driven method. My vibrant style and strategic sensibilities deliver game-changing marketplace solutions for my clients.

I’m also the creator of PAWSH Magazine, the artist behind Gooseberry Prints and the founder of the photography non-profit program, Lovey Mine. I adore infusing concepts with creativity. LEARN MORE

Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was my first shoot, and I was super nervous and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She was patient and kind, which allowed me to embrace and have fun with the process. She puts her own creative and artistic flare on the project, which allowed it to be professional yet unique.

HIBBAH ZIA | CEO, SOULGRADE
Working with Laura really helped to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety I felt about rebranding and relaunching my site. When I first met with Laura, I had so many ideas, but I didn’t have the tools that I needed to execute my vision. As a fulltime entrepreneur, running two businesses, I felt as though I was drowning trying to bring all of my ideas together. I reach out to Laura in the nick of time to help refocus my goals, ideas, and energies. Laura worked tirelessly to assist me with finding my brand’s true identity. From choosing a new name, to logo design, mapping out revenue streams, and the overall attitude of the brand, Laura walked me through each stage providing her expertise along the way. I absolutely enjoyed my experience working with Laura and Gooseberry Studios. She’s knowledgeable, professional and most importantly compassionate. What truly impressed me about Laura, was her ability to really listen to my story and help me bring it to life in my brand!

I had an amazing time working with Laura on my brands recent fashion shoot. Her professionalism is unlike any other – prompt with responses, super creative and extremely organized! I did not think I would ever come across a photographer as organized as I am, haha! What I really liked about Laura is her friendly attitude. She was super easy to work with and really helped me with planning our shoot before the big day. I keep getting compliments from everyone on how stunning my pictures are and I owe that all to you Laura. Thanks again for making my vision come alive. I cannot wait to book you again for my future projects!

PRISCILLA B | OWNER, STYLE ME ANKARA
I absolutely enjoyed every single minute of my photo shoot with Laura. We shared a lot of laughs. She is an incredibly talented photographer and was able to capture my brand perfectly through the photos. If you’re a small business owner looking to do some branding photography, I highly recommend working with her!

KAREN S | PODCASTER
Working with Laura on getting my brand and business up and running really took the stress and anxiety out of the picture. Having been a stay-at-home mom for the past several years literally left me feeling paralyzed about how I was going to begin on the social media, blog writing, and content creating journey. I reached out to Laura to find out how she could help get me started and she immediately put my mind at ease by explaining how we would work together. We created a timeline right away that was super organized with weekly tasks and as each week went by I was amazed at how much we were accomplishing together. Also, the weekly tasks really kept me accountable. Sometimes as an entrepreneur it’s easy to let things go or not stay accountable to yourself, so working with Laura forced me to meet timelines. Luckily, she was just flexible enough for when life with three young kids got in the way. I loved working with Laura and would recommend her to anyone who needs help getting started with branding and social media. Another amazing quality about Laura is that she is an extremely talented photographer and since that is totally not my thing – it is really convenient for all my branding needs!
